Wildrose Independence Party leadership candidate Paul Hinman lashed out at Alberta Premier Jason Kenney’s tightened lockdown restrictions saying they are “unacceptable and wrong.”.“It is clear that we are now living under a repressive government that shows little regard for the physical, mental or financial wellbeing of the large majority of Albertans,” said Hinman in a statement after the Tuesday night announcement..“Now that Kenney has announced to his caucus that his traditional supporters are ‘disturbing’ to him and he wants ‘a new base’, it’s time for all of the 17 MLAs who wrote the letter against the earlier lockdowns to immediately leave the UCP Caucus and demand an end to Kenney’s authoritarian insanity.”.Hinman was referring to an exclusive by the Western Standard earlier in the day about Kenney’s comments to the UCP caucus following the Bowden rodeo where he said “I want a new base”..“Writing letters and virtue signaling isn’t enough. Only walking away from Kenney’s unhinged regime will truly protect the freedoms of voters who most definitely did not vote to have a medical police state imposed on them here in Alberta,” said Hinmann..“Kenney failed to act responsibly by implementing the Alberta emergency plan which was developed by experts like Lieutenant Colonel David Redman, who stated that thousands of lives would have been saved and most of the collateral damage done with these lockdowns would have been avoided had Kenney simply followed the plan.”.Hinmann said Kenney should follow the strategy used by Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida “who has boldly ended all COVID restrictions everywhere in the State and has completely prohibited the use of any “vaccine passports” by both government and private institutions in Florida.”.Wildrose Independence Party members will elect a new leader on August 28, 2021..Dave Naylor is the News Editor of the Western Standard.,dnaylor@westernstandardonline.com,.Twitter.com/nobby7694
