EDMONTON – Alberta unions are demanding that Jason Kenney’s UCP government immediately scrap the budget they just passed.

In an emergency video-conference meeting, the presidents of public and private-sector unions affiliated with the Alberta Federation of Labour unanimously passed a motion calling on the UCP to scrap their budget in favour of more aggressive policies being adopted by governments around the world.

Health care reporter Caroline Chen dug into the projections to learn what to make of them. Forecasts are fuzzy, but the takeaway is clear: Stay home.

“Over the next eight-week period, we have modeled that of the 108,000 unsheltered Californians that are out on the streets, if you had an attack rate of about 56%, you’re looking at 60-plus thousand individuals that may have COVID-19,” Newsom, a Democrat, said in a Facebook address to the state.
