Who are the ‘Berta leaders that are in league with this Bill Gatetz led global communist cabal..?
And..... I gotta know.... WHY would our Alberta provincial and municipal leaders do this to us...? What’s the rights infringing end game goal here.....?
Please....?

1. Nope. I think she's answering to the best of her knowledge. I also tend to agree with her, and I wear one when I view the risk as being high. Don't confuse/conflate her statement that masks can be an important part of protection with her stating they should be mandatory. She has NOT stated that, and they are not one and the same concept.
2. Yep. All political parties in Canada are a little socialist lol. Do I think the gov't is wasting some money? Yep, I do, I'm not sure there should be an endless supply of 100% free masks, but I'm OK with the gov't working and spending money to ensure all of those that choose to wear a mask are able to get one. In the case of McDonalds, A&W, Timmies, etc..., call me cynical, but I think there's a lot more to it than the goodness of their hearts. I think they'd give away just about anything if they thought it would calm the public's fears and keep them profitable.
As for the "end game", I think it's in large part just that, a game. To be clear, I do believe that the health and welfare of Albertans is their main goal, but cynical me also believes there's a BIG dose of virtue signalling and the fear of the SJW crowd at play too. Nenshi in particular dances to the beat of those drums.
