On Dec. 24, Pat Rehn, MLA for Lesser Slave Lake, posted a photo of himself in a blue t-shirt with the caption, “Merry Christmas from our cave to yours."Rehn’s own profile picture, which shows him standing with three other men in cowboy hats, includes a banner reading “Stay home save lives."
Albertans have been urged repeatedly by provincial health officials to celebrate the holiday season safely and to stay home whenever possible.CTV News Edmonton contacted Rehn and the premier’s office for comment but has not received a response. On Wednesday, the UCP faced criticism after photos surfaced of two education press secretaries apparently vacationing in Hawaii. Michael Forian, press secretary for education minister Adriana LaGrange, removed two social media accounts after the photos, which he posted on Instagram, began circulating.
sheran1248 Hello Alberta. Are we tired of following the orders of dictators that don't follow the orders they arrest us for not following? Well I for one am. I frankly don't give a damn if no one else is. I'm done following draconian laws that go against every right I have as a Canadian.
JohnPar010 More evidence that the China virus isn't what the politicians claim it is. Don't be partisan in your digging Bell Media, politicians of all stripes are lying hypocrites.
So did my real estate broker and she didn’t make the news. Who cares!!!
My mom went to Dallas to see my sister last week. No one said she was breaking the law. There was no wrong doing. We are allowed to leave and come back if proper protocol is taken.
I realize that Alberta doesn’t ban international travel. However for healthcare workers working through the pandemic in that province; it had to be a slap in the face when he defended their actions and their support of the travel industry.
It is time to end the lockdowns and mask mandates .jkenney
Good for him.
Honestly how did these folks get elected to anything? So sneak off for a Sunny vacay but then post pictures? How did you think this was a good idea?!?
CTV trying so hard to be a leader in cancel culture...
Enabling TrudeauIncompetencePM
of course
Great reporting state media. Where is the blackface clown PM?
And, WheresTrudeau
Does anybody know where DFriesenGlobal spent her Christmas holidays? Do we care? NO NO NO
What cha doing dawg?
FIREREHN
Where are Liberal cabinet ministers vacationing? Tweets are way down from them.
See ya dude.
WhereIsTrudeau oh and CTV = 💩
And? People have been able to fly out of Canada the whole time. Nothing was stopping anyone. You had to quarantine when you returned. So?
Nasty.
WhereIsTrudeau Do your job and find out if Trudeau is in Barbados?
Now do federal liberal....
How about you tell us WhereIsJustinTrudeau and all the other liberal_party members. WhereIsTrudeau we want to know!
Who cares. Everyone is allowed to travel.
CTV liberal presstitute apologists will never rat on their pimp boss Trudy. WhereIsTrudeau
Lots of people have been traveling. Lots! Stop the witch hunt.
It is time to end the mask mandates and the lockd was .jkenney
Before we all explode.............let’s make sure that these photos were taken in December 2020, and not a few years ago.
Where's Trudeau?
Who cares.
dmcgilvray19 What a surprise.
Is Alberta locked down? And if so, did he leave before lockdown?
Where’s Trudeau?
Meanwhile back in Canada, publication bans from and CBCNews refuse to report anything bad on ANY liberal_party or JustinTrudeau Who believes anything Liberal , Progressive CBCNews and Communist globalnews report on ALL BIAS ALL LIES OF OMMISSION
More “do as I say, not as I do” behaviour from our politicians. Our provincial politicians are almost as bad as our federal politicians. Lib/Con/NDP. There’s little to no difference anymore.
Fire him now. Hypocrite.
Good for them!
WheresTrudeau
Is Trudeau in Barbados or at the Weston cottage compound?
One has to wonder if CTV, and the Canadian MSM in general, is putting in the same effort to dig up material on Liberals as well. I won't hold my breath. Oh, and this curiosity doesn't excuse the behaviour of anyone for that matter. So, don't even go there.
SheilaGunnReid
rexglacer Hey Cdn Politicians of all stripes: How about we end the charade, open the borders and end the quarantines, testing, mask mandates... all of it, and let's get back to the old normal. JustinTrudeau how's Barbados? RodPhillips01 how was St. Bart's?
Remember “and Transparent” Justin Trudeau? How bad a reflection is it that he won’t simply confirm to people he stayed in Ottawa? The only logical reason is he didn’t stay in Ottawa! How pathetic is our MSM CBCNews globalnews not to know.
Now do Trudeau
Where is JustinTrudeau
WheresTrudeau
How about you tell us Justin Trudeau is in Barbados?
Who gives a rats ass. There are no travel restrictions. 40% of snowbirds are down south. Are you going to OUT all of them? WHERE IS TRUDEAU, FREELAND AND MCKENNA
Guess these dumb politicians are proved to be actually dumb.
WhereIsTrudeau
Now do the list of liberals out of the country. Do you forget one day Skippy wont be there to protect you ? The defund will be epic.
Ctv employees and there liberal overlords want canadians like this
I’d goto Sweden and experience normal life again
Where is Trudeau?
Where’s Trudeau
NicholasLBott
Should check where the prime minister is first .. he’s awol 🤷♀️ bet he’s in another country!
Now do liberals please.
Fire them all all! This is only to show that this lockdown is a fraud! Thank you for destroying small business, our livelihood and mental health!
Has anyone found little potato yet? Or has media been paid to keep quiet? WhereIsTrudeau
Where's Justin?
Find them all. Don’t keep going after conservatives. Libs, ndp, cons, green. Get them all. See who’s got the balls to do the right thing. Where’s skippy?
When pictures of Trudeau in Barbados surface, CTV will dig a hole and burry it, complete radio silence.
The flights are flying. If you can afford the trip, can manage the quarantine when you get back, are healthy, reasonably young with no co-morbidities, the chances of needing hospitalization are slim. Chances of the cytokine storm are even slimmer. Take your chances & go.
Wow media is in full force finding out where all the UCP MLA’s are. How about you start reporting on the liberals..their ethic violations, scandals, missing money and then use your “experts” to find out which beach Trudeau is at. And then demand how the liberals should resign.
Lots of OILMONEY TO SPEND
I bet if he returned to Canada via Roxham Rd, you wouldn't have a thing to say. Hypocrites WhereIsTrudeau
Xplor Park is a lot more fun than cold Alberta. When r u folks gonna learn. Its all a power grab. And an exercise in control. They know the virus isn't as bad as people want it to be. Come down of the cliff folks. Were gonna be ok. Let's get back to normal. Please.
NatInCanada Are we still doing that thing where we are trying to convince everyone there is this deadly global pandemic and we should all stay home? Just curious.
Asshole should be FIRED, FINED, or CHARGED for putting public safety at risk. Maybe that would wipe that smile of the COVIDIOT MLA’S face.
And?
I hope you do the same thing when they find out where Captain Scruffy is.
Resign or be fired!
WHERES TRUDEAU
Probably a lot more. BTW, anyone know where Trudeau is?
Was he going on and on about how we should be locked down?
Too bad he's not in Ford's cabinet, or we'd never hear the end of this for 4 days.
Our bias MSM better hope trudope isn’t off basking in the sun right now!! They might be forced to their job!
COVID house arrest is just for the serfs.
Where is Trudeau?
I wish I could have went.
Oh look another one! rulesfortheenotforme
Fire him too!
Mean while Cons keep up the Fake follow the rules but we can break them. While Liberals seem to be doing the right thing. Hey was Senator Lynn Beyak fired?
Kenny, WTF? Run this fucker off and do it ASAP. jkenney
Oh oh and no mask on. Hmm
Idiot
Posting it on FB proves they are too stupid to hold the position they are in.
Stupid to leave for a vacation we he should be setting an example. Idiot to post evidence to Facebook.
Another politician to kick to the curb and send him on his way
Was anyone Conservative MP or Minister spent time staying home that must ne the reporting.
All these clowns need to lose their jobs. Mr. Kenney what say you? jkenney
Omg!!!! It’s just happening left and right! We are sitting around, bored out of our faces, trying to do the right thing, and this is what these idiots are doing? I am offended on so many levels. You dickhead!
WhereIsTrudeau
So the modern day crucifixions are starting to role in. Woe to the snitches. When one finger is pointed 👉at someone, 4 are pointed back at you.
Penny17Q 🤔👇🏼
🤦♂️
Trudeau is where?
Now do “ Where is your boss Trudeau?
Fire him now!!
And yet 10,000 people flew into alberta over the holidays!!
Yup, thanks... just thanks
😡😡😡
No surprise. We have the same twats here in Ontario!!! onpoli
That must have been essential travel. Right?
Another one? And still radio silence from the worst premier in Canada. WhereIsKenney
Anyone actually surprised?
DoubleLl70 Just not surprised. Is there a UCP MLA that is honest, reliable and represents their constituents to the best of their ability ? Serious question.
...are they going into (BROTECTING) mode...
That his mentor in the background?
WheresTrudeau
He should resign! People are tired of hypocrite politicians who tell the masses one thing & then they do the opposite! I'm sick of it!
Has the PM been in country throughout the entire holiday?
JoeHargrave RodPhillips01 PierreArcand & now PatRehnUCP, will JustinTrudeau please crack-down on these politicians whom have disregarded the FederalPandemicLockdown in favor of snowbirding during COVID19? Clearly the people of Canada are not equal to its politicians!
essential travel?
WheresTrudeau?
The insult here is posting it all over Facebook, like rubbing our noses in it. This is just ridiculous, but really doesn't surprise me coming from people with entitlement.
Time that is citizen also enjoy a exotic vecation
Not only defies government rules but posts pictures on Facebook anyone that voted him in should hang your heads in shame
Not another one?
So?.... this country is judging so much the freedoms of the people . Quarantine calls and threats, social media and public derision. Is time to stop
globalnews CBCNews TorontoStar Inquiring minds would like to know where your sponsor JustinTrudeau is? While your at you can also end the Sophie charade as only this Numb Nut gets protected more than any other PM. TrudeauMustGo
This idiot should be fired asap !
Where’s Trudeau you traitors
They tell us to restrict travel to within our area and see only people in our bubble but they head on down to Mexico....fricken lead by example or don’t lead at all
As long as you self quarantine v for 2 weeks after you get back you are allowed to go.
Tens of thousands of us need to surround their homes
Yet another privileged politician
Anyone surprised? 🙄
Good for him. Now open everything up.
WheresTrudeau
So what. It’s allowed. Did he lie about it or try to mislead us? If not, who cares.
Where is the outrage when the liberals do this? Now do Arcand Hadju Trudeau Duclos
Is there a law that prevents Canadians from leaving the country?
whereistrudeau
Disgusting...needs to get booted from the party!
Good on him, not letting a fake pandemic keep him from changing his life. We need more people like that in government!
All elected officials who left the country during the pandemic for a vacation should be fired , plain and simple. Most tax payers should probably agree. Do a poll and see what happens.
Are they locked down
Shamefest 2020 / 2021
If the people who make the rules break the rules, their penalties should be double.
Recommendations don’t apply to him? What a sense of entitlement.
Well honestly travel in Alberta is not restricted. Travel outside Canada is not forbidden. The problem in Ontario is the hardline that the Government has taken on Ontarians. If they were more reasonable there would be little issue.
Why arent you showing the liberal_party .where is Trudeau McKenna Freeland Butts
WhereIsTrudeau
this can not be surprising to anyone - the boss only JUST started to act like he's concerned about the virus. Seems like other provinces are having this issue - i wonder what else they have in common 😒🤔
Where is Trudeau bet you wont comment on that
So what! Half of us suffering this cold weather wish we were in Mexico. Now do our dear leader! Skippy.
britjpncdn Now tell us where Trudeau ranoff to
'Rules for thee not for me' - politicians
Where’s our Waldo PM
Will you please also investigate Liberals ps l won't hold my breath.
What it really shows is how stupid most politicians are and how stupid we are for voting for them.
And he resigned... When JT has the decency to resign, after all he did(Aga Khan's trip at Canadian Expenses, WHO Scandal etc. etc. etc.) But, if I were in this MLA, I wouldn't have resigned (he paid his trip and there was no lockdown at the time he booked his trip) until JT does
Hope the tacos were good 🤔
Hmmm maybe he will follow in the footsteps of the fiance minister from Ontario....seems only fitting....leave Canada for a vacation = leave office when you return.
The sheer stupidity of posting a picture of it - that alone!!
And they post photos.
I just don't get these guys!?
The new Canadian political creed... “Do as we say not as we do”
Two rules, apparently: one for the UCP folks, and one for the common rabble.
Can this losers job
Airports are open and as of now not illegal for people not to travel. They are asking you to stay home and we are. But many are going. Flying is the last thing I would do at this point. But it is Not illegal .
Heads up people. You can book a trip online with any travel group. And be on a beach south tmrw. What’s stopping you ? It’s called choice. And freedom.. stop listening to all the garbage
Lift the restrictions so we all can go.
Probably lots more shitting their pants right now!
Yet these assholes are the first ones in line to get the vaccine.
Another one who needs to go
Are you sure they aren't pulling a RodPhillips01 and faking it ?
Honestly, the fact ANYONE, let alone people of influence, are selfish enough that they went on out of country vacations in 2020, drives me absolutely insane. It’s not the year to be leaving Canada, and as someone who has made personal sacrifices this year, it infuriates me.
Why is this news?
Where’s Jussie?
So, lockdowns and restrictions do not apply to politicians?
Should be let go or resign
I don’t know what’s more insulting, the actions or the fact they think people are two stupid to care.
Funny that was silent as a doorknob when PattyHajdu was traveling back & forth btw Ottawa & north ON, after telling everyone to stay home. CTV enjoys liberal hypocrisy but can't tolerate conservative hypocrisy.
See how reliable our politicians really are? It's well past time to reject both that hypocritical crew and everything they say...
Who cares
looks like freedom
Do these people that work for the people have no shame. He needs to resign!
Another one? Why am I not surprised 🤷🏼♀️
