If Redman is right covid cases will take a nosedive in a matter of weeks

Retired Lieutenant Colonel David Redman has been trying to convince governments all over Canada to take an entirely different approach in the battle against covid-19. The former head of the Alberta Emergency Management Agency is particularly critical of lockdown restrictions. Redman insists lockdowns do not work against viral infections and he has a growing amount of data to prove his point.

A number of US states either loosened or completely ended lockdown restrictions over a month ago now. New cases should be through the roof, but they’re not. Some of that may have to do with the rapid pace of the vaccination programs in the US. Still that doesn’t explain why the numbers have not been higher in Florida, where restrictions were loosened last fall well before vaccinations started. A comparison of case number trends in states with completely different lockdown restrictions reveals a difficult reality. The number of active covid cases do not seem to be affected very much.

Below are daily case graphs from Worldometers.com, showing how similar the case rates look in states regardless of their significant differences in lockdown restrictions.

Texas did away with most restrictions at the beginning of March

Strick lockdown restrictions remain in place in California

Florida lifted most lockdown restrictions in late September

A case number comparison between Canada and Sweden is also hard to explain. Most Canadians are under significant lockdown restrictions while life in Sweden has continued in a relatively normal way since covid appeared early last year. Somehow, the active case data shows a remarkably similar trend between Canada and Sweden. Again these numbers are available at worldometers.com

If David Redman is correct, Canadians can look forward to cases plummeting sometime in the next couple of weeks. In this video Redman says he believes covid case rates in Canada will follow the annual viral infection curve regardless of lockdown restrictions.

Here is an abridged version of David Redman’s presentation on emergency management. Redman has been trying unsuccessfully to convince governments across the country to pivot away from their health emergency response plans to the more general emergency response plans. It’s a compelling argument and a must see.

Is There Any Canadian Province More Proud of their Premier Today…

Published on January 21, 2025

Todayville

Prior to Trumps inauguration event and announcement was made that Trump would not be imposing the 25% tariffs…

Which means, Canada seriously dodged a bullet here.

And while the Liberals will most likely frame this as, their success in showing, Bad Orange Man, that they’re tough and ready to burn down what is left of our economy, throwing Alberta under the bus, first…through a nuclear option…

Premier Smith rode this challenge out like the true champion we knew that she would be.

It’s hard to say if this was a legality matter in the grander scheme…or if the 25% tariffs would have truly been as big of an impact on the US…

One thing is clear, however…

Smith was ready to go to the tables with the Trump administration and opt for diplomacy over threats…which should be what we expect from our leaders.

And should these 25% tariffs have gone through…I’m more than sure a Plan B would have been brought out in civil conversations, over screeching rhetoric.

“She’s treasonous”, they screeched.

“She’s supporting her friends in Oil and Gas”, they relent.

“She should put Canada first”, they echo…

And let’s just address these…

Is Walmart beholden to Campbells soup? Fruit of the Loom? Kraft?

Or does Walmart sell products that helps keep their doors open?

Walmart is not beholden to any product…just like Premier Smith isn’t. We have 26% of our GDP – the largest portion – owed to Alberta O&G, something that we have a limited trade partner with, due to the Liberal – Anti-Alberta/Anti-O&G/Anti-Pipeline attitude that wants to spend us further in debt with unreliable and expensive “Renewables”.

What does Alberta get from renewables?

A higher cost for energy, in an affordability crisis, created by the same people who continue to push them…sounds like a terrible deal, for Albertans, and something a true leader would Not Favor.

When Walmart sits down to hash out a deal with Heinz, are they committing treason because they haven’t shown their allegiance to their own, ‘Great Value’ brand Ketchup?

No…other provinces have their own industries and resources, which they are free to continue developing independent of the federal government, as is suitable and supportive of their own economies…Alberta isn’t competing with them, nor Canada as a whole.

Alberta through industry and resource, actually supports Canada through a grand imbalance on “Equalization Payments”…

As do we through paying 50% more into the Canada Pension Plan, than we actually get out of the Canada Pension Plan…to the tune of a $334 Billion Dollars.

And as for this “Team Canada”, horseshit…

The title Premier of Alberta, should hold some clues as to who Premier Smith should be advocating for…as she is the Premier of Alberta and Not the Prime Minister, nor leader in the Liberal Party that has created this fiasco, to begin with.

Rail, as they may…other provinces can’t cast a vote in her support, either way…

None of the other provinces, through Members of Parliament, nor through Premiers, came to support Alberta and our economy through a number of Federal Bills that railed on our provincial resources…

Worse yet…these hypocrites cash cheques from our province, while telling us how to diversify our economy…to which I’d state one thing unequivocally…

If we wanted to be a Have Not Province…like you are…we’ll come and ask you for your advice.

Until then…

I’ll hold my Alberta Flag Higher than my Canadian…

And be proud today, of having the only Premier in the country of Canada, worthy of any praise today!
