That\u2019s what I am hearing. That\u2019s what our MLAs are hearing from most of their constituents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moe asserted that people now better understand the virus and how to treat it than they did two years ago at the outset of the pandemic \u2026 when the government said that restrictive measures would last two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey understand what they need to do. They understand the risk and they are prepared to live with that risk, more than they are prepared to live with the ongoing government intrusion into their lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cRemember when this first started so very long ago?

But normalizing Covid or living with Covid most certainly is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m concerned that Covid being the constant topic of conversation and dictating our daily lives will have a negative long-term impact on each of us in this province,\u201d he continued. \u201cCalls for daily government intrusion into peoples lives, skepticism regarding anything that is remotely positive that is related to Covid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The premier\u2019s statement comes as Canadian truckers have formed a \u201cFreedom Convoy\u201d in protest of the country\u2019s vaccine mandates.
