Lockdown impact
So reassuring that there is an elite cabal of super Manitobans imploring the premier to lockdown once again in a futile attempt to bend the Covid curve. Well, I am a private sector worker who has been laid off twice now through government edict. Lockdowns will not eradicate Covid. Vaccines will allow a full reopening of society. That we do not have the required vaccines lies squarely at the feet of the socialist government in Ottawa. These elites calling for another fruitless lockdown have not missed a paycheck that is several times bigger than my own. Show some humility and concentrate your efforts where it should be aimed. That would be Ottawa and the Liberal Party of Canada that has been a complete failure in procuring the required vaccines. Not one layoff in government in Manitoba. So glad we are all in this together. Yeah right!!
