Alberta has a political case of long COVID. Careers are still being shattered by lingering rage over handling of the pandemic.
And yet, every single thing Hinshaw ordered was approved by nine UCP cabinet ministers in a special COVID committee, led by then-premier Jason Kenney.
Hinshaw laboured under incredible pressure for months on end, appearing in public nearly every day. As the face of COVID measures, she began to absorb the anger as well as praise. The CBC reports how the group first looked for an Indigenous person to fill the role, but eventually decided Hinshaw had the perfect blend of credentials.
The blame-shifting didn’t save Kenney, who resigned after being only narrowly supported by his own party, largely because of rage over COVID measures imposed on the countryside.
