Alberta MLA lends credence to COVID-19 'concentration camps' misinformation

Health expert says those with high profiles can rapidly escalate spread of conspiracy theories

Joel Dryden · CBC News · Posted: Oct 22, 2020 6:27 PM MT

Miranda Rosin, the MLA for Banff-Kananaskis, appeared to lend credence to a disinformation campaign circulating on social media in recent weeks. The UCP member wrote on Facebook that the provincial government would never create COVID-19 'concentration camps.' (Legislative Assembly of Alberta)

Banff-Kananaskis MLA Miranda Rosin on Tuesday reassured a constituent that the provincial government would never create COVID-19 "concentration camps" — but added that if the "rumours" were true, it would involve the federal government.

In doing so, Rosin helped to spread a misinformation campaign that has been been circulating on social media for weeks, says a health policy expert.

"It's a pretty hardcore conspiracy theory," said Timothy Caulfield, a Canada Research Chair in health law and policy at the University of Alberta. "It's extremely disappointing to have government officials, elected officials, helping spread this disinformation."

In a comment posted to Rosin's Facebook page, a constituent requested that government "STOP the COVID concentration camps."

In response, Rosin commented that, "If the rumours are true, those are being set up by the federal government, not us."

"Rest assured we would never create such a thing," she wrote.

While responding to a constituent on Tuesday, MLA Miranda Rosin said the provincial government would never create so-called COVID-19 concentration camps, referring to a disinformation campaign circulating on social media. (Facebook)

Earlier this week, health officials pushed back against the spread of the misinformation, the crux of which claims that the federal government is preparing to forcibly send Canadians to quarantine sites.

Funding has been announced for voluntary quarantine sites for homeless Canadians, and the federal government has plans to expand the number of sites available for international travellers who need to self-isolate but do not have space to do so.

But a spokesperson for Health Minister Patty Hajdu told CBC News earlier this week that no one will be forced to leave their homes to go into a "COVID camp."

PM, health officials warn Canadians against believing COVID-19 'internment camps' disinformation

Speaking Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he had to tell a young woman that the government would not remove Canadians from their homes to put them in facilities.

"There is a tremendous amount of noise and harmful misinformation about [the pandemic] on the internet.… We need to hold together and resist people who would sow chaos within our communities and our democracy," he said.

MLA says she received hateful correspondence

In an update posted on Facebook , Rosin said Thursday that she should have denounced the constituent's use of the term "concentration camp."

"Yet in the moment, I quickly responded to him that the leak was but a rumour at this point, and that if such facilities were being set up, they were not being done so by our provincial government," Rosin wrote.

"We have worked hard to reopen Alberta's economy, and we aren't moving backwards."

Sharing an email purportedly received after the post, Rosin wrote that she had been insulted and called names typically used to denigrate women.

"As a society, we can and we should behave better. I believe in a world where we can all treat each other humanely no matter how much we may disagree on things. Politics don't need to divide us like this," she wrote.

Rosin was not immediately available to provide additional comment on Thursday.

Speaking to Alberta talk radio host Danielle Smith on Monday, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said no government was engaging in the mandatory quarantine of Canadians, as purported by a recent disinformation campaign. (The Canadian Press)

In response to a request for comment, a spokesperson for Premier Jason Kenney's office referred CBC News to a recent interview with the premier by Alberta talk radio host Danielle Smith.

"I think a certain conspiracy theory has developed around this," Kenney said on the radio show. "My understanding was that it was basically for hotel rooms for arriving international travellers."

Kenney said Alberta has taken similar steps, such as when the province saw large outbreaks in meat-packing plants earlier this year.

"We offered to put a number of those people up in hotels during the quarantine period," Kenney said. "I think that some of this is turning into, unfortunately, a conspiracy theory. No government is going to engage in mandatory quarantine of people."

Expert says misinformation can erode trust in health policy

Caulfield said that when high-profile individuals in society like politicians, sports stars or celebrities spread misinformation, it can help conspiracy theories take flight.

"There's a good body of research emerging on exactly that," he said. "Even if you don't necessarily align yourself with that individual, just their ability to get that misinformation out there causes it to spread. There's been research that has backed up exactly that."

University of Alberta professor Timothy Caulfield says misinformation in a public health crisis can lead to hospitalization, financial loss and adverse impacts on health and science policy. (Sam Martin/CBC)

Caulfield said that those who align themselves with misinformation and conspiracy theories are less likely to adopt appropriate precautions, such as wearing masks or following physical distancing rules.

"So when we have politicians making irresponsible statements, you're really contributing to a public health crisis," he said. "The other thing that is fascinating about this story, is this is a pretty hardcore conspiracy theory. This is not something that is even rational.

"It demonstrates the incredible traction that misinformation can have."

Speaking Tuesday, Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada's chief public health officer, said it was up to every Canadian to fight the spread of fake news and fight back against false information.

"That is a dual challenge, for sure. Misinformation, disinformation, does not help public health officials," she said.

Methinks you did not read this in the news yet the opposition won't mention what is published on the government's website N'esy Pas?

Trade Agreement: CETA / CFTA
Request for Information regarding Service Provider(s) for Federal Quarantine / Isolation sites for The Government of Canada

The Government of Canada (GoC) is considering engaging a Third Party Service Provider for Federal Quarantine / Isolation sites that will be used to house and care for people for public health and other related federal requirements associated with the COVID-19 pandemic response. The Government is seeking feedback from current service providers about potential options for standing up, operating and managing all of the services associated with these sites. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to seek feedback from potential service providers in order to develop a strategy for the potential future management of these sites going forward.

Should the Government of Canada determine that a third-party managed solution going forward is a viable strategy, Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) may issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to provide suppliers the opportunity to bid on the services required as per the schedule contained in this document.

This RFI seeks industry’s feedback to:
i. Obtain supplier feedback, with advice and guidance on the operation of these sites;
ii. Assess industry’s interest in bidding on a potential the contemplated RFP;
iii. Identify and minimize any potential competitive barriers where possible; and
iv. Ensure that potential suppliers can deliver the type of services being requested in a possible upcoming RFP

Reply to @David Amos: Each Province and Territory has established isolation centres, usually hotels. The federal government is doing the same thing to assist the Province and Territories for people requiring isolation. Covid 19 is going to get worse and in order to assist us and those who have to self isolate outside of our normal home environment we as Canadians will have in place contracts with hotels to assist those people, those in remote/rural areas and the homeless. Full stop...

I can prove it. What type of proof are you looking for? Do you trust Municipal Surveying? How about Google Maps? How about Waze Maps? How about an FOI (freedom of information) how about other news sources? Also, I'm curious about your proof than these facilities are being built? I would love to see the plans, the payments to companies, or to even know which companies are involved. Pictures would be great, or anything really. If you aren't just trolling, I'm honestly curious...

Jaco Bytes 7 hours ago (edited)

@Wood Duck I don't think you're sitting on the fence on this anymore..I think you're trolling us...if you know how to use the methods you suggest to find proof of anything why don't you use them, I think your methods are highly unrealistic, FOIA takes forever and is a hassle to jump through all the loops and then just to get a refusal with some boondoggle reason given and then which municipalities would you begin with regarding surveying, another endless process, google map only covers established areas i.e. I can find my house and the neighbors houses on a country road, but beyond that there are lakes in the wilderness that don't show up, and I can't scrutinize the mountains out back to see if there are any deer on that particular day, in fact the G. Map of my house still shows my old Pontiac Parisenne parked in the driveway, I've had four different cars since then. So I think you just make this B.s*it up to baffle brains. So, if you think those are plausible methods, then why don't you give us the proof, since Trou d'eau will not, eh? Besides @Geselia Pereira is not saying they exist, but is asking why Hillier's mike was cut off when asking the question in session? He had a government document in his hand saying they do exist along with vague reasons for their existence. That's all we have at the moment along with crickets sound bytes from the powers that bee on the subject. It would appear that this is classified info, and is the opposite of the transparency Trou d'eau campaigned on. His transparency is the same as Harper's...opaque.

Are you (still) suggesting that concentration camps might be set up by the Trudeau government? Because that's the issue to me.

Denigration, threats, swears have no place in politics - truly despicable.

Willis Geczi

It’s funny when “concentration camps” is a major disinformation issue for many. But a Prime Minister that violates ethics with the self entitled approach of “going to get ice cream” multiple times over. A Prime Minster that broke the law attempting to override the rule of law. A Prime Minster that wore blackface like a baseball cap. A PM the groped a woman and blamed her for “experiencing it differently. A leader who has time and again purposely obfuscated and blocked access to information for his WE scandal among other multiple investigations seems rather trite in comparison.

But this is 2020....

there's things going around about the federal government setting up "isolation facilities". I believe her comments were along the lines of if it's true it's the federal government. Well it is true, but it's not "concentration camps" but facilities for people who can't self isolate like homeless or people in large families etc

correct. I did not denounce the use of the term "concentration camp" in the individual's original comment on my previous post, which I suppose I should have.

But I never once gave credence to such a thing. I merely acknowledged it was but a rumor, and that our Provincial government had nothing to do with it.

** Warning: graphic language below, although I have blacked it out for you.

I share this post not to whine, nor receive pity, nor sympathetic flattery. I don't need any of that. I chose to run for politics, and I knew what I was signing up for. I share this post because it's time a larger societal conversation was had around the state of our civil discourse.

Partisan politics have divided us, and society has become toxic. People have entirely normalized the bullying, harassment, and intimidation of their elected officials, justifying their actions by pretending it is part of their civic duty as a participating member in democracy. Trash like this is posted by individuals across the entire span of the political spectrum. It is not a left vs. right nor a male vs. female issue.

I wish I could say that emails such as these were an anomaly, but unfortunately they've become the norm. Us politicians get literally tens to hundreds of these emails every day. In this particular instance, there are even individuals who went so far as to say publicly that I "deserve every bit" of this.

Behavior like this is unacceptable, unbecoming of adults, and it is entirely degrading our democracy, not enhancing it.

- - -

Yesterday an individual commented on a post of mine saying "stop the covid concentration camps". I knew instantly what he was referencing: the proposed quarantine facilities supposedly leaked by a Liberal committee member. The individual who commented was one of many constituents who have reached out to me about this potential leak, sharing concerns about the diminishment of our civil libraries in Canada.

Perhaps I should have responded to him denouncing his use of the term "concentration camp" and clarifying the facilities he was referring to. Yes, I absolutely should have done that. Yet in the moment I quickly responded to him that the leak was but a rumor at this point, and that if such facilities were being set up they were not being done so by our provincial Government. We have worked hard to reopen Alberta's economy, and we aren't moving backwards.

Then came the wrath of social media, and the rest was history.

- - -

Look, civil discourse is important. What makes democracy strong is the ability for citizens to use their voices to enact change. I love when constituents reach out to me or my office to talk policy. Unfortunately, behavior such as this, which has become so commonplace in our world, is not having that intended effect. Behaviour like this is, by no means, productive whatsoever.

Society demands the highest level of respect, integrity, and conduct from their elected officials - as they should. Yet we cannot expect to attract high caliber candidates for office while we simultaneously bully, harass, and threaten them and their families on a daily basis.

If we want to encourage our upcoming generations to step into the public arena and serve the people, we need to be role models for them. Most parents wouldn't let their children speak to other kids on the playground this way, and the same expectation should be extended to adults. We haven't strived so hard as a society to end bullying, just for it to be considered "ok" once people turn 18 and leave school and sit down at their computers.

As a society we can, and we should behave better. I believe in a world where we can all treat each other humanely no matter how much we may disagree on things. Politics don't need to divide us like this.

You don't "clear the air" by saying if there were such camps they would be the federal government's. Not irresponsible journalism. Your remark was irresponsible. It shows a lack of maturity and understanding of how to stop spreading conspiracy theories. A responsible person would have said no such things exists nor will it ever. A responsible person would have told the individual that they are confusing the need to find safe spaces for homeless people with something more nefarious. Major cities are asking provincial and federal governments to help house the homeless just as governments are asked to help house evacuees from fires. This is what an intelligent person would explain. Own it and stop blaming the media for your blunder. Taking responsibility for what one says and the harm it does is called maturity.

funny enough, that was also a CBC story. Trash. Absolute trash. CBC should go

the way of the dinosaur.

Thankfully this was a draft (of absolute junk from those advisers)...not a draft from “government” as CBC headlines suggest. Even those of

us on the right (including me) see that proposal for the junk it was.

It was not and is not a government thing - it was headline sensationalism by CBC.

Note from their

article:

“He said the proposals will go before hundreds of teachers and experts who serve on curriculum working groups for feedback later this fall before the minister signs off on the curriculum.”

Nice tangent though. Now back to the original post..

Garrell Clark

Blaine Gb Not trash. the CBC reported accurately. That was the recommendation of the UCP's hand picked racist advisory committee.

Blaine Gb

The CBC used well worded headlines to suggest the govt was pushing this through, and you and your NDP colleagues jumped on it as if it was a done deal. You are part of the problem today Garrell - propagating myth before fact and sowing division amongst Albertans.

How about “shutup and see what happens”, because the no political party is stupid enough to proceed with the curriculum as suggested.

I am willing to wait and see what’s done.

...Because despite leaning slightly right of centre, I too would be disgusted with this curriculum. But guess what? It is NOT a curriculum. It was some stuff on paper collated from a variety of sources. But that’s enough for folks like you to go off yelling and screaming. Grow up.

It’s clear she isn’t capable of defending her inaccurate statements. They can’t be defended because she was wrong - Whereas nothing I said was incorrect.

So much of the division in this province exists because folks like you two spew inaccuracies as fact. At one point, left and right could have an intelligent conversation. As Teagan states above, I am very centrist. That’s the funny part. We likely want the same thing in the curriculum. But only one of us is willing to recognize reality from fairy tales. Folks like you two are arguing that “something that doesn’t even exist yet is somehow fact”.

How can you not see how asinine this is?

(Facebook)"

Marilee Barry

Did you write the post suggesting that the UCP would never do it, but if "camps" existed it would be the Federal Government who would? It looks like a message with your name on it. I'm afraid that is a very misleading, divisive message to spread. If you did say it then you need to pay the piper. Its irresponsible to throw shade like this at your opposition.

JC MacLean

I agree with Julian Power it's the "if the rumours are true" comment that is the problem. You could not resist the urge to put the integrity of the Federal Government in question. As a member of the public service you SHOULD at least be informed enough to say without question that the "concentration camps" are nothing but a conspiracy theory to discredit the federal government. I get your on the opposite side and are more for Corporate Welfare then the Social Welfare programs that benefit the taxpayers in Canada, but you shouldn't have to rely on half truths and lies to get your message across. If you truly believe in your message it should stand on it's own without giving any credence to crazy theories.

Stop your witch hunt. Miranda has done nothing wrong. By the way, I wonder why Randy Hillier was kicked out of Toronto Parliament for asking about the RFP the very ethical Trudeau sent out to build these “facilities”. It’s difficult to understand how people could be suspicious of what their governments might be doing when they are being locked down repeatedly and have no freedom and their businesses are not being allowed to operate, huge fines levied, children wearing masks (I thought children rarely caught this), police brutality happening, censoring of dissenting opinions on Facebook (very democratic) and the MSM reporting only one side of the story.

This is and was a part of agenda 21.

"This is insanity" Yep...believing unfounded, divisive, crap IS insanity.

Lost is the art of one to one communication, did a reporter even attempt to chat to you about your post? Probably not, because then they couldn't sleep at night writing the garbage that they do.

i guess you didnt read the article. It states that they did reach out but received no reply from Miranda or anyone else in her office.

Chandra Nick

Jay Michael

I did read, but yeah must have missed that part, theory still applies though.

Chandra Nick

So it said she wasn't immediately available. So they tried once? Maybe she was immediately busy?

Jay Michael

Chandra Nick

the theory that they didnt bother to reach out?

They arent the rebel. They actually do try to get the story from all perspectives.

Chandra Nick

Jay Michael

at least the Rebel, usually shows up on someone's doorstep for comments trying to get one as media shuns them. Not a fan, but at least they do show up in front of people)

Chandra Nick

Chris Schnurr sounds like an out, they called and expected her to just cancel what she was doing to come to the phone immediately? And then dropped the story? Or did they drop the story and then they to call?

did you even attempt to read the article?

The government should stay out of Covid. They have no right to legislate personal choice or behavior. There are no over run hospital or Healthcare crisis, and people die every single day from non legislated preventable causes. Let us get back to life and get the libtards out of power before our country becomes even more of a pathetic welfare case.

Jordan Furness

Pretty funny to see your comment in the context of your profile picture showing a sea of mindless stormtroopers who historically miss their shot!

Paul Townsend

Jordan Furness

that is a reach for sure, but at least I can proudly say that I EARNED every dollar I spent to build that suit. And you have to admit, it looks freaking cool! And as a side note, if you watch much of the expanded universe of Star Wars, you would know that Storm troopers are actually quite accurate in their aim. On the death star they were not meaning to kill Luke and Leia, they were hearding them, as Vader sensed Luke's Power and wanted to confront him in order to determine his origins as a way to prevent another Jedi Uprising against the Empire. Yes, I am a nerd!

Jonny David if OUR taxes were properly appropriated towards services and rather than inflated beurocracy, creating corporate red tape and campaigns of public misinformation, then we wouldn't have to be concerned with our taxes going up. Alberta already has one of the largest public health expenditures of all of the Canadian provinces per capita, we just spend way too much of it on special interests and unnecessary services. Which is why the UCP reviews of our Healthcare system, and the idea of shifting certain services such as janitorial to the private sector. Large government and civil servant bodies intentionally create bloated expenditures in order to justify larger funding year over year. Its paramount to printing money for themselves, and we all pay for it. Rather than focus on creating efficiencies in providing service, they add more money to their budgets and expect us to foot the bill.

Again, large government just creates large problem.

Paul Townsend

Jonny David and again, hospitals are not in any danger of being overwhelmed, they have had almost a year to prepare for it. The only burden being placed due to this covid scare is on the people who either can't go to work, or can't be provided proper service. My son couldn't even go see a doctor about an infection because they told him he needed a Covid test before he could even get in the door, now he has to wait 3-5 days, with a possible strep infection pending the results of a test before he can get treatment. So while 600 ICU beds sit open and waiting to treat these horribly inflicted Covid victims, my son suffers with a real medical issue? That is the reality of this covid nightmare. Not the virus itself, but everyone's media and government fed paranoia.

I'm sorry, I did not know and would not criticize such a cool homemade suit! I was actually meaning to reference the background photo you have showing the fleet of stormtroopers. I am also a Star Wars novice and may be remembering Family Guy's various commentaries on Star Wars more than the stormtroopers true record of achievement!

Paul Townsend

Jordan Furness

oh, the Background photo! If you look closely you can see the one stormtroopers who is holding what looks to be a bag of popcorn. That is me. Lol

Extremely disappointed to read the suggestion of concentration camps might be set up by the Federal government. An elected official should use better judgment when making random off-handed comments that aren't based on reality.

We need a law that forces politicians complete a minimum of an MBA to be able to hold office.

Claudette Leece

Miranda were talking about a taxpayer funded, complete opposite of credible reporting, there not worth your time, or obviously anyone else’s either. They have a 12% viewership. My granddaughters home plays have a bigger audience

Darcy Steele

What the hell is wrong with you? Stop feeding in to misinformation and nonsense. Every day that goes by where the people of Fort McMurray are unemployed and struggling is a fail for your government. We elected you do to BETTER. Stop fucking failing us and blaming others. That's NOT leadership. It's pure bullshit.

Alright now this is getting fking funny!!

Why not solve this by hitting some golf balls at a cardboard cut out of Trudope or Notley?!! That outta show everyone how fking mature you lot are, and how much you oppose cyber bullying?

Maybe a meet and greet with the Soldiers of Odin?

A fundraiser to break Don McIntyre out of jail after getting caught for fking around with a ten year old girl and telling her it was god’s wish???! UCP’s founding father.
