The Toronto Star has come up with a list of the Worst People of 2020 – and two Albertans have made their hate list..Columnist Heather Mallick has selected Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Health Minister Tyler Shandro as targets for her scorn..Mallick also has some nasty words about Alberta as a whole writing “that everbody hates Alberta and nobody invites Alberta to sleepover parties and everyone laughs behind Alberta’s back.”.As for Kenney, Mallick writes “he probably thinks the global green movement is only out to hurt Alberta’s feelings, and other countries are secretly guzzling Saudi and Nigerian oil in disguised water bottles. It’s not about you, premier, or the province. Oil is over, COVID-19 isn’t, and you are making a terrible mess of both.”.Shandro is also a target for her vitriol..“I still say it’s a stage name. Shandro has a fatal quality for a politician: a knack for making enemies. It’s unfair for protesters to blockade a politician’s home rather than his office, and Mayor Tory has had to endure this viciousness in 2020. But it’s worse for a politician to go to a citizen’s house and protest rather than responding with a stern letter. Shandro did this to a doctor over a Facebook post he didn’t like. The man’s children were terrified.. Mossleigh pub briefly opens before authorities move in .“I would say Shandro is uncivilized, but it’s more a case of toxic masculinity — an unqualified man trying to shout and beat his way to success. It doesn’t work with the coronavirus, or Alberta’s angry doctors, or indeed anyone. He’s a COVID-19 foot-dragger passing himself off as a health expert and he should go back to his previous incarnation as city bus menace.”.Other people to make her seasonal naught list include: Anti-maskers, Ontario BBQ joint owner Adam Skelley, Meng Wanzhou, Rudy Giuliani and Tory finance critic Pierre Poilievre..Poilievre seemed nonplussed to be on her list..“Mr. Poilievre is rarely ever aware of what is in the Toronto Star and couldn’t care less,” his spokesman told the The Post Millennial ..Dave Naylor is the News Editor of the Western Standard.dnaylor@westernstandardonline.com.TWITTER: Twitter.com/nobby7694
