Tuesday, March 1st, 2022 will mark the End of the Mask Mandates in Alberta, along with most of the remaining COVID health Mandates:
Alberta will enter Step 2 starting on March 1. At that time, the following measures will be updated.
Any remaining school requirements removed (for example: Kindergarten to grade 6 cohorting).
Youth screening activities for entertainment and sport activities removed.
Capacity on all large venues and entertainment venues lifted.
Indoor and outdoor social gathering limits lifted.
Mandatory work-from-home requirements lifted.
Provincial mask mandate will be lifted except in high-risk settings, including on public transit, at AHS-operated and contracted facilities, and all continuing care settings.
But if the past is any indication of the future, we will still see continued use of masks in a certain portion of the population tomorrow as we did throughout the “Open for Summer”, Alberta Plan from 2021. There will, by my best guesses, still even be some businesses with their own personal initiatives that will still require masks in their establishments if not just for employees but for customer alike.
After 2 years of driving fear into people, there are a lot of people who are still afraid and these people will also be the ones lining up for booster shots and giving you sideways looks if you aren’t equally afraid or are still alive while not having been vaccinated.
The media has already tried to get ahead of the issues by way of compassion. “We need to respect other people’s decisions if they decide to still wear masks”, they tell us.
My thoughts?
Fuck them!
While I will not go out of my way to pick a fight with anybody that’s wearing a mask, I will be the first to unload both barrels into them if I get so much as a blink from one of these people. They never respected my decision, why should I extend the courtesy?
I want you to know who these hold-overs actually are:
They have been Double and Triple Vaccinated; while still having,
No idea of their own personal risks from COVID; and even if they did,
Have changed nothing to improve their lifestyles; and
Were happy to have you or others fired from jobs for not being vaccinated;
Ecstatic to not have to share a public or community event with you;
Have cut ties with family and friends who have educated themselves; And,
Have been generally shitty people; They,
Wanted businesses closed;
Wanted Schools Closed;
Wanted other children excluded from community and team sporting events; Also wanting you to,
Cancel family gatherings around birthdays, weddings, funerals and religious or traditional holidays; While they,
Demanded children wear masks; and worse yet,
That children be exposed to experimental treatments while this age group was the absolute lowest risk.
The worst part is…the next time there is a spike in cases, they will be the same people shitting on others, while not taking 10 seconds of their lives to understand anything about risks of COVID, the collapsed economy, the higher cost of living, how many people lost their jobs, pensions and savings…and screeching for this to go back to how things have been over the last 6 months.
But you should feel compassion for them, according to the media.
I mean…go ahead if you want to.
Keep in mind that over the last 2 weeks Canada has approved of 2 new COVID Vaccines because they full well know that COVID is Endemic, will be back and rather than us getting any true information on new variants and their lessened severity, we will be fed the same garbage fear porn from media and government alike about how Vaccines will Carry us Through COVID and these same people will be back to being the same shitty people that they have been. History will repeat!
And while the media will do anything and everything to keep you from not focusing on the current travel restrictions that are still imposed by the federal government and how poorly the pandemic response was in all provinces by all levels of governing parties, if you become compliant now, everything you’ve been fighting for and fighting against will be for not.
While we can all probably agree that Cancel Culture is really stupid, after tomorrow, I will be keeping better track of people and businesses who still want me cancelled and will be altogether happy to return their extensions.
Fingers Crossed. Hoping for the Best, while expecting the worst.
I hope I’m wrong. About all of this.

I bet you do too.
Spot on Sheldon. I've been banging this drum for two years. This thing is not over by a long shot. This is just one of those “Throw em a bone, make em think things are good, then bring on the next hammer”. IMHO
The population needs to start practicing CFS (Common Fucking Sense) but I fear the majority are not capable.
