Anti-lockdown and anti-mask protesters take part in a rally outside the Alberta Legislature in Edmonton, on April 12, 2021.Alberta’s health authority says it is considering its legal options after a rodeo held on the weekend in protest ofrestrictions drew thousands of people together as the province shattered multiple daily records for new infections.
Despite this, a couple of thousand people gathered near Bowden, in central Alberta, for the “No more lockdowns rodeo rally” on the weekend. Videos from the event show large crowds sitting and standing close together with few, if any, masks being worn. “In addition, it is extremely concerning that people would knowingly put their fellow Albertans at risk by ignoring the restrictions, particularly with increasing cases and the subsequent pressure on our health care system.”
“Rodeo celebrates Alberta’s Western heritage, a key part of which is our community spirit and looking out for others, especially the vulnerable. That’s the opposite of what these folks are doing,” the Premier said in a statement on Sunday. Government House Leader Jason Nixon said the need to pause the spring sitting was discussed with the Opposition – a claim that NDP Leader Rachel Notley rejected.“We were not consulted on this decision,” she said. “We were told in a brief meeting this morning between the government and Opposition House leaders and the speaker.”

YESSSS! Albertans standing up!
Cole Pinnow, the CEO of Pfizer Canada, said that Canada’s decision to allow a 16-week spread between first and second doses — rather than the recommended three weeks — is not based on science.

What do Alberta and Ontario have in common? They are the worst provinces in Canada managing this pandemic, while destroying their publicly funded healthcare system and funnelling the money sent by the federal government for health to private corporations OntariosDoctors
If they get covid and need an icu bed and are traced back to this event then they should be denied the care over someone who wasn't there even if they have better odds at surviving
