  1. Retired Lt. Colonel David Redmond has already publicly disclosed Alberta had an action committee ready to deal with emergency pandemic scenarios and was completely shut out of this debacle. Hope our new Premier speaks with him.
    Forget about more health advisors like Henshaw.

  2. Thank you for standing for unvaccinated Albertan’s, I hope and pray you follow through with this, we have faced hatred and been thrown out of stores and restaurants, as I’m disabled it was already hard to get out of the house and go anywhere and the mandates made me even more isolated! I’m also disgusted by Alberta hospitals denying mask exemptions which were authorized by Alberta Health, I found it abhorrent!

  3. The most biased reporting I ever saw , way to go Alberta premiere hope the rest of the provinces follow along and we get a clean restart!!

    1. @One of eight billion If you want it undiluted you’re welcome to apply it strictly to the land’s original occupants.

  4. Offensive?! WTF!!!!! Facts are offensive?! Truth is offensive?!
    My 87 years old father’s deteriorating health constantly asking why I am not coming to see him for the longest time. That’s personally offensive to You and Your fellow LGBTs?!
    Give me a beak! We obviously need more psychiatric care in Alberta. But then again: You can’t fix stupid.

    1. So he can go to the States, and render you unable to get the brain cancer surgery you might need three weeks from now? Ima guess you didn’t really think this through, perhaps you might see your doctor if things are a bit foggy? Doctors get paid 50K a month or more for a reason.

  5. Beautiful! finally a leader with a backbone…tell the ndp guy he can still go get his asymptomatic test somewhere im sure… be sure to remove your mask of course….hahahahahaha

  6. Funny how BC Premier Horgen says it was only a small sliver of the population. So I guess he is saying discrimination is okay based on the size of the group.

  7. She said nothing offensive…..the unvaccinated population contains Canadians of every culture , colour , and economic background

  8. Really haven’t ever seen laws restricting the free movement of any in the lgbtqlmnop community
    Nor at any time in history did hetero have to carry around a passport proving their sexual preferences
    But thanks for libifying the report
