Premier Jason Kenney says he is supporting the federal government’s decision to ban all foreign nationals from entering Canada from several African countries but a prominent emergency room doctor says Alberta should take additional steps.

Premier Jason Kenney says he is supporting the federal government’s decision to ban all foreign nationals from entering Canada from several southern African countries but a prominent emergency room doctor says Alberta should take additional steps.

"Certainly what was done in Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and P.E.I. in the past, works," said Dr. Vipond. The announcement of the new variant comes as the province's COVID-19 case counts have started to rise.

Hey when are you going to fix this. CdnMediaFailed

The one that’s so deadly it’s symptoms are sore muscles and tiredness! Lol

🖕

I knew it was Vipond before I even read the article An alarmist NDP shill, dr not so much.

I call for everything to open up. There is another irrelevant headline for you to print

Good idea lets keep people in Alberta intill they are vaccinated and finally control covid

Not a really bad idea. Contain it until at least each province has cases

Case numbers in Alberta are not increasing week over week. The 7-day average is the lowest it’s been since August 11. Also, Alberta is not an island and the idea that Alberta could close its borders is silly. Not sure why his assertions are reported as unchallenged fact.

This 'activist' needs to retire, why do you & other media outlets continually go to this guy 4 a story, very few others comment like this guy who seems to like being at the center of attention, rather than doing his job. He wasn't hired to be a mouth piece! Tired of the rhetoric

Canada is so big that we could section out an area for the unvaccinated. We could call it the 'Freedom Gulag,' where we send them to let this thing sort itself out naturally. Of course, there's a few details to sort out too.

It's funny because conservative Alberta is a breeding ground for variants. It's more like 'please stay away for your own safety'

No

So much for doing your part and getting the Vax to get your god given freedoms back just to have it restricted again lmao 😂🤣😂😂

Lmfao And so the first cracks in the vaxpass begin.

Vipond constantly speaks way outside of his area of expertise “as a Doctor”. This is a breach of professional ethics and I’m not sure how it’s tolerated. Sad times.

The guy that went to COP26 after soliciting funds for his kid? That guy?

Are people not yet aware that a vaccine is not going to fix this. The virus is mutating at an astronomical rate! The yearly flu shot is tweaked every year, because as a virus it mutates and adapts to the previous years shot. If only there was consistency lol

I can’t take these comments anymore…I hope this virus wipes out humanity…we are all useless

Good.

No

Why do you keep promoting this “prominent” emergency doctor. He’s an NDP political mouthpiece and if you would’ve used his name in your tweet I would have never opened it. He does NOT are present all Albertans and medical professionals.

Hahahahahah, as a 100 % unvaccinated covid survivor, I fully agree…. Hahahahahahahahah.

Dr, don't you mean climate quack?

Fk off

You forgot Alberta NDP Doctor. Then it all makes sense.

Does RachelNotley approve?

We’re done. That’s it

Hahahaha Crazy Joe at it again.

Divide and Conquere at its best

That variant is not even in canada.

Oh Please....give it a rest. All BS!!! It's in Africa and if you were really worried about it why didn't you shut down those flights from?

Stop giving this clown airtime. He has no intention of moving forward. With vaccines and antiviral pills on the horizon, when are these 'doctors' going to focus on treatment?

Hopefully the double vaccinated catch onto the scam before its too late

The gov/ docs will never let this end. Get use to it or fight back. I’m sick of this !

Isn’t this the one that just travelled to Scotland with his daughter.

Like he needs psychological help at this point.

It turns out that the latest variant causes retardation in health officials. More study is necessary.

He's not wrong.

Nope, not doing it I have complied with everything so far, I want to see my granddaughter this is not happening.

Good idea! The rest of Canada needs to be protected from Alberduh.

dont tell me they're waking up in AB

Sorry ABOUT your COVID problem is of your own making. Nice try shifting the blame

Right at the start of the Christmas season. Coincidence?

There’s no evidence it’s even in Canada

Here we go again!

Besides delaying the new variants inevitable arrival & spread in Canada. There is no point hiding from new variants We have a very high vaccination rate in Canada. Continuing to cripple our economy just adds extra collateral damage to this pandemic.

Newsflash, it's probably already there...

Whistler’s deadly COVID experiment…

Keep all Albertans in Alberta. Please.
