In what version of cloud cuckoo land is a picture of a politician getting a vaccine amid a devastating virus outbreak considered brave? That would be Alberta, apparently, where the Premier is facing a caucus revolt and a serious backlash within his United Conservative Party ranks – not for failing to take serious enough action to halt the virus, but for taking measures viewed as too restrictive. (Among those measures are a prohibition on indoor dining, restrictions on gatherings to household members only and a cap on normal occupancy rates for indoor religious services.)

Opinion: COVID-19 has exposed Alberta as Canada’s other distinct society

That’s the only explanation for why some see its already relatively loose pandemic restrictions as a political sin – even as the third wave batters its hospitals

Translation: Alberta sucks.

Now can I replace the title in the OP with this one?

Someone at CTV needs a raise.

Is snubbing "rules" really why it's spreading? I'd wager several factors correlate quite easily. Transit ridership, use of cash, population density, population age, race, employment, etc.
