I'm seeing disturbing accounts of Shandro's appearance at a UCP meeting in Peace River yesterday. These accounts suggest that the province's strategy has very little to do with public health evidence and a reliance on discredited experts.

These statements mirror those by Luan suggesting that the gov has no intent of doing anything anytime soon: "We're waiting to see where that [ICU/hospital] threshold will be pushed to our limit, then gradually reduce more activities that way."

I've not only checked out the two facebook accounts but have now received messages from a few local people who have said that these people are, in fact, real and that this meeting was as described. I've received nothing at all to suggest this didn't happen.

And here is the doctor Shandro spoke about sharing his public health "wisdom":

Some additional info. A meeting attendee sent Shandro a follow-up letter (below). He reiterates Shandro's regard for Dr H's opinion and willingness to consult him and the promise that there will not be a second lockdown.

A postscript to this thread. It was raised in the legislative assembly today. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Shandro said that the people at the AGM meeting were lying, referring to these Facebook posts as weird conspiracy theories on the internet.

This is my hometown and my beat as a reporter, it’s real. They’re not providing exact quotes or video so they’re paraphrasing, but these are real people who were there and they are sincere. Bob has already organized small protests here before.

Thanks for this corroboration. There's rumours of a video that was circulating on YouTube. I couldn't find it, but perhaps there is one out there?

Well that’s so disturbing (if verified) that I’m a bit tachycardic here. The Edmonton City Council transcript from the referred physician was VERY MUCH at variance with the vast majority of opinion of public health, epidemiology, virology and infectious diseases experts....

It is disturbing. I did everything I could to verify the two facebook accounts. Both look legit (lots of regular pictures, followers, comments dating back for years on various topics, etc). I am very concerned if the gov is taking advice from that doctor.

My god...is this the Hodkinson that RCPSC disavowed and who is a pathologist who finished his training in 1976?
We have a MOH. This is her expertise. Shandro is NOT a public health expert, doc or scientist...since when does a lawyer get to say that global best practices are off??

When UCP acolytes are speaking to their base they are clearly outlining their true intentions, it's chilling really. They say one thing to the cameras and MSM and quite another when they are within "their" community. It's a way to agitate and grow their cult following.
