She's a certified moron.
"KAMLOOPS — A Kamloops councillor is calling on federal and provincial officials to call a halt to Trans Mountain (TMX) pipeline expansion construction within city limits.
Denis Walsh says expansion activities are scheduled to begin soon for TMX’s ‘Kamloops Urban Special Project’, which would lay new pipe beneath the Thompson River.
Walsh doesn’t think the project, which will require hundreds of construction workers, is safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This is unusual in the fact that these workers… we were told last year, 300 to 500 workers, transient workers that would have to come into our city and find accommodation,” Walsh told CFJC Today Thursday (Apr. 2). “So it’s unlike a work camp.”
“Whether it was a convention, the [annual Watchtower] convention, I think it would be ill-advised to bring that many people from outer areas into our city at this time,” Walsh continued. “It will just put a stress on our healthcare system.”
[B.C.’s public health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, has made construction sites exempt from guidelines prohibiting gatherings of 50 or more people.]
Henry has also issued guidelines for controlling the spread of COVID-19 in industrial work camps, though Walsh says there are no camps associated with the TMX construction.
“To my mind, these people are not living out in a work camp where Trans Mountain can control what they’re doing,” said Walsh. “They’re going to be living in our community, either in hotels or apartments or something, for a few months or more circulating in our community. That’s the problem.”
Walsh says he has not yet received the support of council for his thoughts on the situation, but regardless, has sent a letter expressing his concerns to Premier John Horgan and Health Minister Adrian Dix, among other government officials.

Well Bryon, I think when this is all said and done, every politician who just followed orders by going along with this ruse will be seen in a much similar light. I happen to resent very much any sacred cow who throws their own people to the wolves that are waiting to inject them with poison when she obviously understood the real truth quite well in regards to the real dangers this latest version of the flu, as the posted letter clearly demonstrates.
And it's very hard not to reserve the same contempt for anyone with a well well established pattern of deflecting the facts with with the lamest distortions imaginable. It's understandable when some political hack trying to hold onto the same paycheck he has taken away from 50 million people oversells this BS, but for anyone else to do the same when they know better? Tsk, tsk.
And if it will make you feel better, I reserves the same criticism for President Trump, he was a complete idiot too to falling for this BS and have so many lives needlessly lost and ruined under his watch. Now it seem he is finally waking up though much of the damage done by this latest version of disease mongering cannot be undone.
