The gov has lost the trust of Albertans.
Unrealistic to vaccinate our way out of this. Need: masks in schools, improved notification in schools, resumption of good contact tracing, resumption of asymptomatic testing, gathering/dining limits, vax passport.

Yes, I'm fully vaccinated. Yes, I'd really prefer to not have to go through another round of "lockdown". Yes, I will readily accept one if it means kids can get their cancer surgeries and doctors don't have to decide which patients live and which die.
