Alberta has suspended its legislature as the province grapples with its highest COVID-19 case counts yet

EDMONTON -- The government of Alberta has suspended the spring session of the Legislative Assembly for at least two weeks.

“Suspending proceedings is the right thing to do as case counts increase,” he added. “We continue to strongly encourage all Albertans to follow their local health guidelines and get vaccinated when it’s their turn. We all have to do our part to get through to the other side of this pandemic.” In a statement to media, the Alberta NDP said they “adamantly oppose” the decision to halt legislature proceedings, as outstanding bills, such as paid sick leave, remain to be discussed.

Haven’t WE seen this before with the Fed government during the pandemic? Oh wait it wasn’t to do with covid..

Good call! Why keep it working when it is not doing anything for ordinary people!

Doesn't want to answer questions..now he will follow buddy Ford..close contact and hide..I mean quarantine

That's what Leadership looks like. ^NOT IDUALLIANCE

All those conspiracy folks probably want to question why the government that WON’T shut down closes their own doors for safety. Might wanna ask…

BC needs to build a wall.

And yet kids go to school. I’m all for lockdowns.... but this is ridiculous.

But rodeos seem to be OK
