Go Danielle! Clean this shit up! Alberta is the envy of Canada.

Albertans are smarter than this dame. Thank goodness they have an election coming up in the province of Alberta.

Paper/cloth masks don’t work. Fitted N95 “respirators” do. How many of these mask advocates are wearing a new/sterile N95 daily? Link⤵️

Parents have a choice ... Listen to their pediatric doctor or listen to a political hack. Which will Alberta's parents choose? The world waits with baited breath......

The unvaxed are not dying… so who was correct?

There is no danger with these waves. It's less dangerous than the flu. Stop fear mongering. No virologist thinks should should be closed and kids are at least risk. Masking hurts in-person social skills. CBC is Trudeau's mouthpiece

DrJBhattacharya 🌹🥂🌹

She’s doing great so far!

DrJBhattacharya Well since masks do nothing. I can see her point.

Exactly.

I support her. She’s right. Kids deserve stability and they need to get back to normal. The longer it’s prolonged the worse for everyone.

DrJBhattacharya she shouldn't have to defend it. She's simply allowing children to be children and not have adults muzzle their faces. She's 100% in the right

DrJBhattacharya Thankfully.

DrJBhattacharya There are some sane people left in Canada

'In-person learning.' Yes, she's correct.

DefundCBC 🤑 mouthpiece sure knows who feeds them tax 💰 who would not.

DrJBhattacharya Wow a Canadian with ball's who knew ?!

DrJBhattacharya Alberta is looking better by the day.

The Alberta Premier is 100% correct to do so. Good for her.

Lol CBC trash yet again

Good

Great job, Premier Smith. Our children need the interaction, can develop a normal immunity, the way our good Lord intended and a normal personality. Thank you for doing what's right!

Just love Premier Smith!!!

This is real leadership! The kids have suffered enough! CBC is such nonsense!

Teachers teaching in person, people relying on their immune systems, the HORROR!

CBC news prefers hysteria and fear mongering.

Don’t ever listen to CBC , For them it’s all left wing politics.

CBC is very fake news! Do people still watch this?

good for her, good for Canada,good for the kids

Great job Danielle. Keep it up. So proud of you. Wish we had more like you.

She’s right

Good! Exactly how it used to be and should be now. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿ABDanielleSmith

Elementary kids don’t lean online. We have 2 years of proof of plummeting performance.

Right on. She is Awsome

It is evident that a lifetime of television and conveniences have made most of you into a bunch of frightened weaklings of low character and thats why you got fooled by vaccine mandates and now rather than face the facts you just wanna keep hiding from reality

She's absolutely 100% correct. DefundCBC TrudeauLiedUnderOath TrudeauLied TrudeauMustGo

The last 2 1/2 years of school chaos is over. No more will teacher unions, individual teachers, administrators and unscientific practices be allowed in Alberta.

However will kids now survive the same cold and flu season they have been surviving since forever without a mask?

Defund CBC

If teachers want to work then hire people who will and allow them to push their political ideology on kids

Thank you Premier

Finally a leader with some common sense and the gonads to use it

Great leadership! No wonder cbc is upset.

She’s amazing!!!

As she should! leavethekidsalone

She is 100% right.

Danelle Smith , is quick to get to work. Albertans are really getting behind Danielle Smith and other provinces are taking notice.

Thank you ABDanielleSmith 🎉🎉

Great.

She's doing the right thing. If your kids are sick, keep them home. No need for all to suffer. Kids get sick, kids get better and stronger because of it.

Shut up Leftoid CBC! YOU SPEW FILTH!!! HORRID FREAKS

Canada needs 9 more of her.

“viral illnesses” 🤡🤡🤡

I hope she comes out against Truedope's gun grab this week. We need to start making a lot of things provincially. Ontario is an out of touch wasteland of corruption, they should be making decisions for nobody.

Now this is called leadership!

Good, Children have suffered enough. In person learning, get on with it.

That is correct. You mad?

ABDanielleSmith a great breath of fresh air for alberta someone who actually stands up for Alberta and the people

What was the rush to inject a completely new trial drug for a virus that carries a 99.7% survival rate in the first place? How come you don't cover Trudeau's involvement in Acuitis pharmaceutical? Is he making big bank $ or not? Canadians have a right to know

A few good women!

Good

Good for her! leavethechildrenalone

Good

She is absolutely right. This is cold season. Get over it.

❤️

As she should. Finally, a return to common sense.

She's doing all the right things, and those things are anti-technocracy. So far so good.

Can_a_driana Thank you Danielle. Basic common sense. Fear mongering is banned

A true leader. Go girl you are restoring hope for Canadians outside Alberta too.

Good. All the male premiers today are cowards. Premiers and municipal leaders need to replace their WEF Public Health tyrants with rational women & men

The real question that needs to be answered is, Why is the population’s immune system so poor all of a sudden?

Great news to see a leader doing what’s right. I see what you’re doing by using the word “defending” though and keep losing resyfor you’re reporting.

Cbc a news org or opposition party?

You mean…..school?!!! I Guess with all the years there has been none, you forget what a school day should look like? Those that graduated grade 12 today have had only GRADE 6 and then INTERRUPTED every year since. Sit down. Do some homework. Hired any journalists yet?

I really like this woman. Pressing on and doing the right thing despite the communist broadcasting corporation and the other liberal shills in the media attacking her.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says a clear, measured response is crucial for students and parents. Schools to provide in-person learning during the current wave of viral illnesses. Fixed it for you

A true hero

👍 sounds logical, not sure where the story is or why she has to defend her position. Good for you Danielle.

I agree with Smith.

Thank you ABDanielleSmith

Sounds like a smarty lady. Teachers have enough vacation time.

❤️Danielle Smith❤️

Leadership that puts her constituents first, is an offensive thing to the CBC & their NDP/Liberal paymasters.

Alberta did this with the Stampede when Kenny has his George Bush on an aircraft carrier moment. Months later Alberta was flying its ICU patients across the country (Moe too) to places like Ontario.

We need this in onterrible

No science behind this decision

If your inadequacies are front line staffing, suggest you look at budget allocations. The budget is substantial, most like in the 4 highest in the province. If it smells like a fish.

She's the desantis of canada, love her

CBC Communist Bullshit Corruptors! TrudeauNationalDisgrace gallowsforgovernment TrudeauMustGoNow

Can she come teach Ford how it's done, because Ford has lost his balls on this issue

ty CBC, its refreshing to see some Permiers not afraid of freedom. :) Stop with the 'wave' crap,, People get sick from covid like they do the flu, the cold, drug addictions, cancer and i don't see you coming against smoking or drugs.

Good for her! She's standing up against bad science and insanity!

Mandates are banned but not person choice. There is alot of misinformation floating around about mask bans that are not correct. Notley is deep in her smear Campaign.

Good on her

🤡 Last province in this country I would ever move to. Truly.

She is correct. Stop your fearmongering cbc.

Then she owns all the sickness and death😼

No one is saying your kids can't mask. She is saying you can't force my kids to mask against their will. It's rational leadship in irrational times. I support Danielle Smith.

I travelled to Alberta recently - it was very nice trip, and lots of friendly people

Thank you ABDanielleSmith. You have lessened the anxiety of the children, parents and teachers with this sensible and practical approach.

She doesn’t need to defend it! Right rules at the right time! Unions are horrified they may have to actually show up for work!

How many children have died in alberta FROM COVID?

Corrupt CBC.

The problem started when the government decided to put the fear of god into the people and made them into a bunch of hypochondriac’s where all they need is rest instead of running around clogging up hospitals for the flu bug.

Best premiere Alberta had in long time.

Good for her. We have always had respiratory infections. And immune systems. It’s way past time to restore normal school life for children. UrgencyofNormal

Libturd media speaks.

Well done

And government paid propagandist hate her.

'current wave of viral illnesses' So Canadians schools should be closed every year during the fall and winter seasons? because the 'current wave of viral illnesses' is is certainly nothing new and happens every year. CBC has become ridiculous imo.

Capt_Canuck6 Alberta, how could you let this inhumane human take top office in your province, even if it's only through one riding? How does she get away with mandating something in direct violation of Canada's constitutional right to safety and health? This is just broken..

This is literally forcing children into an unsafe environment. What we need is enforced masking and vaccination uptake (covid and influenza). The media has to do a better job of taking politicians to task. edmontonjournal calgaryherald RachelNotley ABDanielleSmith

I love that woman. She's using logic against the Nazi-Sanitarists! If people wanna wear their submissive mask, they can and leave the others alone.

CBC SUCKS

Let the hypochondriacs stay home then

توماج_صالحی‌_را_آزاد_کنید وریا_غفوری_را_آزاد_کنید ToomajSalehi VoriaGhafouri

yes!

You mean, like we have successfully done in the last century prior to your nonsense. Makes sense.

Communist broadcasting company strikes again.

Yep get lost propaganda why are they sick? 2 years you masked them and overuse of sanitizers have weakened their immune period! Now look a common cold can be severe!wake Up NeverForgiveNeverForget NeverAgain

Excellent news!

Smart leader get over your fear of sniffles

She is the best Premier in Canada. Hands down, by a mile. For the first time in my life I wish I was Albertan.

The horror.

Stop Punishing Children

cbc...lol

Shes brilliant , wish she was our premier

Gosh she must be a right wing extremist, expecting children to get an education regardless of respiratory viruses circulating as they have for millennia. How dare she.

You’re promoting a good story for once! Must have found it online and rebranded it.

Allow children to obtain the immunity they require for a healthy life

This post Sponsored by Pfizer and the LPC.

Danielle Smith is the best. I wish BC had a leader like her. CBC can go to 👿

No, cloth masks don't stop viral infection coming in or out, let alone water mist. Read, research, do something other than make a fool of yourselves parroting politicians. Take another vaccine while you're at it, but it won't change that you're the most infected demo.

Thank God! We saw the disastrous effects on kids from the lockdowns and mandates. Only a fool would think it was okay to repeat those mistakes.

Good for her!

And cbc is defending Trudeaus mistreatment of Canada 😂

Damn, I like her more and more every day.

'the current wave of viral illnesses' Flue season. FO CBC

Education workers are disposable.

She’s been great so far

DefundCBC

Good for her!

Leave the kids alone, stop using them as pawns! Have we not done enough damage!!!

Stay strong, Danielle. Canada needs leaders like you if we are ever to return to normal.

Thank you Danielle 🙏

SO Proud of her leadership.This is how it should be!

Good

That's right. Because we don't shut down life and learning because of seasonal viruses. Get over it

This online-only learning needs to stop. Get all teachers back in classes. Unions should be dismantled‼️

Currently the best premier in Canada! God Bless this lady.

What a hell is ' measured'? She is sick.

Kids are getting sick because of lockdowns and masks. You ruined your kids immune systems. For life.

This FAKE NEWS BS news agency needs to be done away with. DEFUNDED

Good for her, I couldn't agree more!

Good for her

Best premier in the country. True leadership.

I want what she's having.

She is correct.

So against the liberal and Cbc agenda , take a hike cbc right back to trudeaus skirt you hide under

True hero❤️

Laptop class is so confused about the basics of life.

Still waiting to witness wave 1 of the imaginary pandemic.

Alberta leading the way away from woke.

ABDanielleSmith hold the line! These leftists want you to cave. It’s been proven masks do not work and the mRNA vax doesn’t stop transmission or protect.

It’s a very small and extreme minority who are trying to normalize masking and keeping kids away from school. I agree with Danielle. We can’t normalize this kind of extreme response.

If you can't ensure that every student can handle and wear mask properly in school, why do you mandate them to do so. The only thing you can mandate is ask every school to improve their ventilation system.

I agree with her hundred percent.

Smith is the future… this approach is the only way to save Canada

I support her 100% we’ve had enough foolishness the past 3 years. Time to move on folks

How does CBC feel about Premier Smith? I can’t tell by the photo you use. bias propaganda

cbc is absolute sh it. How about steelman her reasoning oh I forgot you are incapable of trying to understand anyone's perspective than 'yours', the one you have been assigned and will run with obediently until the next 'thing'.

Good woman.

Alberta scored big with this lady. They should thank their lucky stars.

FFS CBC

She IS the worst of the radical right wing Conservstives. The WORST!

ABDanielleSmith you are doing the same when imposing ban on mandating masks or online learning as jkenney did. U got the driving seat for not interfering in Freedom of CHOICE but u imposed ur choice on education system. RachelNotley notmychoiceAB LoriSigurdson CTVCalgary

Viral illnesses are a part of life. Deal with it. There's nothing controversial here.

Can you be Danielle Smith be co prime minister with Pierre. Clean Canadas mess up.

Who is she planning on staffing the schools with either teachers out sick and no substitutes or teachers out because they have sick kids themselves and no substitutes? It’s a significant problem we are facing.

Good for her, worked out way better for other nations who are now fine compared to us.

I love her

And cbc keeps twisting

is a globalist controlled propaganda outlet masquerading as integral journalism. I'm going to keep repeating this until it's ingrained in people's psyche.

Finally. A politician with the will to fight the media bought by the federal govt. Be prepared. Klaus Shwaub, the Rockefeller Foundation and others have billions of dollars to use against you.

Good

I support this

'Defending'? No, there's nothing wrong with what she said. Doesn't need defending.

Good.

And? What's the problem here?

What the hell did we do before 2019? Fear mongers.

Pro makers are like heroin addicts looking for any excuse to use again

Every teacher and parent I know supports this. Awesome job Danielle!

you really are communist broadcasting. covid aside when were schools ever closed for flu?

Teachers work for 5 hours a day. It’s time they start earning their pay. My daughter’s teacher arrives at 7:30. Leaves at 2:30. One hour lunch, one hour of prep time. And yet he still has not marked assignments from September.

Good

so relieved that the unbiased, non-partisan, objective CBC is on the case! bought and paid for leftist globalist tool?

ABDanielleSmith I wish Danielle to be Canada's Prime Minister!!! We can be proud Canadians again.

What new wave, the one you’re fabricating

Good

She's not wrong.

Good work! Finally!!!!!

Shut up CBC, YOU'VE LOST ALL CREDIBILITY

As a source of CREDIBLE, NON-PARTISAN reporting of news from Canada and around the World, the CBC is the last media outlet that I would get any truthful information from. That is all.

Oh ShutUp CBC your such Lakeys

Danielle Smith, the President of Diagalon 2.0 - establishing the new Republic of the Free in the territories of what was formerly known as Alberta, Saskatechwan, Manitoba and British Columbia

How did we survive respiratory viruses before? They never shut school before.

finally some common sense, instead of the typical CBC fear-mongering.

Federal/corporate propaganda on display. Nice pic you chose. How can CBC continue?

And she's right. So what's the problem?

Wicked. I'm grabbing some popcorn to read all the Liberals comments in this thread having fits because their narrative has fallen apart lol

Children require in person learning…period.

WEFpuppet

Good for her

The smartest one so far!

if you are sick then stay home.. I am not sure what the big deal is

💩💩💩💩💩FAKE NEWS OUTLET

Finally someone doing the job right. We need more premiers like Danielle Smith!

Good for her, I might move there yet.

Good. Anyone in their right mind stand ma with her.

Looking at moving there...they can always use a mechanical engineer and a ccu nurse...see you soon Alberta

Danielle Smith, seen here calculating how high the fence is if she needs to make a getaway.

Defund the CBC….

she said we don’t want to normalize flu hysteria

It’s such bullshit school’s are being treated as a daycare because the working populations doesn’t have access to proper sick days. Danielle Smith has go to go her ideology is insanity.

Next PM ..a real Canadian

I love her.

Capt_Canuck6 Next thing you know she's going to order teachers to teach at the hospitals, since that's where the kids are.

This is insanity and is a violation of immunocompromised children’s rights.

That absolute Horror 😂😂😂

She is awesome

'wave of vial illnesses' So it is not C19. The pandemic is over. We are going back to 2019. Sans the quacks!

It's cold and flu season in Canada. Same as it's always been lol

Get Defunded already.

Well done. Enough of the cowards and grifters.

Isn't ABDanielleSmith fantastic. She's finally holding the very people to account who have no problem obtaining services from truckers, grocery store staff, gas attendants etc. She's smart enough to get that sectors are abusing the whole 'keep us safe' from the virus bullshit

Not a child abuser, Good. It's a start. Isn't it ironic that no chiefs FirstNations or other stood to stop shutdown, from my awareness? Every one who benefited will oppose her? I'm curious. As hereditary Metis I am observing the environment much closer. Ms. Smith will be safe

It's up to you that you take 4 booster and double mask but dont tell others what to do.

A good conservative never missed an opportunity to make children suffer.

What were we doing before 2020? 🤔🤔🤔

Premier Smith is doing great. Smart.

It would be awesome now if Albertas population grew past Ontarios. I hope she transforms Alberta. She can do it, she’s a true leader!! Love her from Ontario!!

This is great news

Best premier in Canada out of all of them

Lovely that she added an anti-mask mandate to kill, injure, maim, and disable as many people as possible over the holidays. How kind of her.

Very dangerous person, threat to Canadian sovereignty…..vote it out

Capt_Canuck6 Evil.

Capt_Canuck6 Destroying Alberta one policy at a time.

That's great! Good for her they can build up their immune systems

The CBC should report something on their golden boy lying under oath.

And she's right

Damn right keep the kids in school. What’s really needed is for the federal liberals so spend more money on healthcare rather than sending all our tax $$ to other countries … CANADIANS FIRST!!!

Why do we still have Municipal elections? Not only are these Conservatives attempting to wrestle away power from the Feds (best of luck with that) they have now neutered and rendered Municipal Government useless.

This is leadership

Bizarre What other job would you have employees work all day with one batch of clients, then go home & talk/prep/discuss the entire day's proceedings with another batch of clients? What's the average pay? $70K/yr? That's crazy.

Cbc : Communist Broadcast Corporation. Can't stand freedom eh

Good on her!

Its been almost 3 years. I'm seriously surprised I haven't seen anyone in media talk about adjusting school years to avoid peak infection time. This is obviously going to last another few years.

Finally, a sane leader.

BRAVO!!! meanwhile here in nova scotia, where HCW's linger on unpaid leave, not fired, unpaid leave for 389 days. 300 of them!!!

Hey! Another ideological hit piece mask masquerading as journalism. Nice work folks! propagandalive

How can she be trusted if she does not understand or respect the pandemic problems. It is not a matter of freedom but one of trying to limit harm. Dogmatic person.

MAGA Make Alberta Great Again!

Agreed, I'm a parent

Best premier and hated by the fake news like CBC

The immunity gap will continue if we continue to mask up too.

Another token female con.

She's the best provincial Canada PM .

Good. Covid and the flu are very mild diseases. No need for virtual anymore.

GOOD

Do you guys even remember when journalistic integrity was a real thing? Do you even write your own stories anymore or do you just copy paste and send what your Liberal masters tell you to write?

When will AB ever learn. Same ones that voted her in will be blaming Feds or others soon for the mess they are in. Never fails.

To help yourself and children … get a nebulizer. Use it. Learn how and what to use. Be proactive rather than reactive. When did we stop using brains and start relying on others more than we rely on ourselves

Could Danielle Smith come run Ontario or better yet Canada

Alberta stays winning.

Good for you Premier Smith… don’t let the bullies at CBC intimidate you!!

She's doing a fantastic job. Not like the previous leadership.

Sorry CBC you're wrong

shameful news CBC,what a joke

The best

Imagine that. Right now if someone graduated 12th grade….their last full year was GRADE 6. Can we get some education here? Asking as I am the employer!!!! Came from welfare and our education surpassed this night mare. Get to work please!!! We are.

Best premier in Canada

Good

You have no integrity.

Honestly, this shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone… the UCP objective is to dismantle public healthcare & education… what she is doing it a tactic in the process… by creating a demand.

Finally, a real leader who n this clown country

As it should have been during the last wave, abd the wave before that....

Amazing!! 👏

Why is this controversial ?

More nonsensical Dansplaining

Can we please get a Danielle Smith type to run Ontario?

Who knew that Alberta would turn out to be the only sane province in Canada.

Remember when being sick was not a thing for the media and government to chastise you over? That was before we had a fascist government supported by MSM.

Ppl are free to wear a mask if they want to. After all if they work, then what’s the issues with ppl who don’t wear them?

Leaves for school with a mask. After being touched throughout the day it returned as a high viral load sponge.

👏👏👏

Awesome! She's what this country needs to help repair what the liberals and their paid propagandists (MSM) have done

DefundCBC they are a parasite on the Canadian Taxpayers!

If you disagree, keep your kids home. You have a choice, with consequences.

Thank you Danielle !

And Albertans defend her….

Real leadership

It's pretty clear. If YOU want to you can but you CANNOT force others

She is fighting against the WEF overlords…are the Sheep able to see it ….?

Now that's a true leader.

She isn't stopping anyone from wearing a mask if that is their choice. Smith's decision is the right one, school boards are not the ones who make decisions on public health measures, that's the responsibility of the province.

Attention Class !! The Cold & Flu season is now : The Current Wave . As deemed by the C.B.C. Also your parents are racists & misogynistic if they tell you otherwise of what they think .

Finally a Leader who doesn’t dictate to anyone… make a choice on masks, you can do it all by yourself! It’s called freedom, people may actually like it.

DefundCBC

I guess when everyone is sick, no one will be in school. Too many teachers sick May mean schools will have to close or some classes will have to be cancelled.

Excellent.

winning 🥳

👏👏👏👏👏👏 she’s my leader! On behalf of my daughter, thank you!

Well of course the science denying anti vaxer freedummy would defend such a position- shes a fools bent on horrible choices!

Good for Danielle👏👏

She is 100% right.

Queen danielle!!

Good!The spike in illness we're seeing in schools now is partly due to kids' immune systems being weakened by covid measures prior.The virus has just delayed the inevitable.Viruses, the economy, and social well-being don't respond well to procrastination. Keep going!

It's like people forget that in the previous 100 years kids were fine at schools. There has never been lockdowns, not even with TB outbreaks in residential schools.

Sounds good to me.

It also does not stop a single person from wearing a mask if they want to.

It's just the same old supply-side 'socialize the cost/privatize the gains' default-mentality applied to the public health context. Albertans are no longer allowed to choose collectivity at any scale, for any reason: they can only make UCP-approved choices. Lol UCP 'freedom'.

It is Flu season, like every fucking year before it. Stop lying.

And the majority of Albertans love her.

She’s gone from conspiracy crack pot to full out dictator

100% keep the kids in school!

The party that complains about federal overreach puts in laws to limit powers of cities and school boards to make their own decisions. The UCP is purely ideological and they only see their way as right and they will legislate anything that suits their purpose.

Thanks Danielle, you absolute legend!!!

Back to blowing it.

As a teacher and a parent I support this. ✅ ✅

propaganda

kids hate to get picked on .. if the bully groups/influencers target you for wearin a mask .. your kid wont be wearin it

Based on pandemic responses each province has. Closing schools was never part of it.

Why is she 'defending'? Who is attacking? Before you get defunded - yes, I WILL have fries with that - please explain.

What a bunch of left wing liberals twits on here!!! Defund and dismantle the CBC!! Its nothing more then a propaganda machine for and bunch of brainwashed clowns

Damn rights she is. People have lost their minds thinking masks will be the new normal yet they do nothing.

You can wear whatever mask you want. Wear a full blown ventilator if you choose. Wear scba if you really can't handle breathing the same air. Don't force people to join you in hysterics, one way or the other.

Doesn’t matter if it’s the wrong backwards response as long as it’s a response. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Imagine if a wave of polio was to hit and she told everyone to unmask.

Masks destroy children's lives. Anyone who tries to put a mask on a child in Alberta should be put in prison for 6 months minimum

Good. You can still wear your mask if you want. No need to for mandates.

Jesus, what's in the water in AB? Have they all gone fucking crazy?

Madame Loonie Toons! What a sad state.

Defund these guys as they divide Cdns and create civil unrest in Canada ! The division they create is threat to all Canadians as it provokes violence all for selfishness of getting a story regardless of fact ! De fund CBC JustinTrudeau

What happens when public health policy decisions aren't independent of Covid conspiracy theorists addicted politicians ! Like Trump or Bolsonaro she would have gotten 1000s more killed earlier in the pandemic!

As she should, teachers got a 6 figure salary to stay home. Not a good use of funds. Sorry but the education system is broken. Kids have been out of school for too long!

What's the plan if there are not enough teachers for all classes? What's the plan for students out sick?

Has anyone stopped to consider the possibility that what we’re seeing is the results of suppressing natural immune system response do to mandates from the last over the last 3yrs and now once “normal” is attempted we’ve left our children vulnerable as the side effect?

Yes. Agreed 💯

My son's class couldn't get a sub last week because too many are sick. So this meant that my son's class was divided up and sent into multiple classes to 'help' (no learning). This week they are in the top 10 outbreak in their division. Such a logical position 🙄

This just in.. you can still have your child wear a mask to school if you choose, you just can't force others to.

All those covidiots who don't have children to send to school, agree with Danielle Smith. I hope Albertans will come out in droves in their next elections and vote for some sane leaders.

Nut bar

She should get on a horse and ride into the sunset with her banjo on her knees!

Liberals would have us live under lock and key for eternity to avoid a light flu. P A T H E T I C

How dare she say kids have to go to school… what a monster

It's over Vaxxers! Now get ready for your damaged dna illness.

Optional masks don’t protect the person wearing the mask, it protects those around them. Therefore, any students who are infectious and not wearing a mask are free to spread their germs willy-nilly. This policy just ensures more infection NDP UCP abhealth Alberta ableg

As a retired medical researcher I can say with confidence Smith is following the real science on masks and keeping kids in schools. And I just love how CBC can't censor me here like on their worthless biased website.

Fake news CBC

Politics, that’s all. Just wants to keep those anti vaxers voting for her. Nothing to do with health.

ThankYouDanielle DefundCBC

defending freedom Bravo Smith VoteNDPIn23

What about Halloween? Will she let the kids wear masks then?

All those people criticizing her, you can still send your child with a mask to school. Masks are still a choice. For students and for grown up teachers. You don’t want to pus everyone to make you feel safe.

there is no defense

I’m thinking the “right on” ravers here don’t actually have kids. Any real parent would be appalled by this. A clear measured response. FFS. How can someone who isn’t even elected by a majority of Albertans be allowed to run amok? What a shit show.

She’s the best.

Good for her, like every year prior to 2020. That's enough now

You know what isn’t measured and crucial, her decision making process. It lacks the aforementioned qualities of a good leader!

Yes! It's about good goddamn time!

⬇️

So she acknowledges that the virus is real. That it is contagious because she is ordering schools online. But can’t bring herself to mandate masks because of protestors her followers. Not a true leader for Canada.

She’s never been the same since the house landed on her sister

Make sure to vote. You don't want to end up like Ontario where only 18% of voters determined the next 4 years

Non confidence vote ?

Covidism is dead. You will not be permitted to resurrect it. Never again. No more lockdowns. No more mandates. No more masking. NEVER.

Very smart and strong leader she is !

ditchthewitch

I totally agree with her and her platform.

Her idea of a clear measured response is to do nothing.

Isn’t that an anti mask Mandate? Cons want to suck and blow at the same time

She is not wrong

Gilbeys subliminal ads. Ahead of their time.

So when enough teachers are out sick that schools become daycares instead of classrooms, will the lack of learning make Danielle happy?

Oecd non covid excess death for 2022. I wonder what Sweden did differently?

Where have all the leaders gone that show common sense, compassion and empathy for people..who understand civic responsibility means taking care of the less fortunate. All we have now are people with a personal political agendas who crave power. She is going to cause deaths.

Kudos to one of the few sane and courageous Canadian politicians to resist the covidian maniacs.

I love how many people think that we should shut down the world every time a few people get the sniffles. Liberals are hilarious. Hide in your homes enjoy staring at the same 4 walls for the rest of your lives

Masking is child.abuse

Keep selling fear CBC!

Oh well. EA's can be used at the drop of a hat. China can buy Politicans, open up Cop shops, interfere in our elections, steal lab secrets. This is the Country Progressives wanted.

defund the cbc

Wear one don’t wear one it’s that simple leave up to the parents or individual, CBC loves stiring up shit. Especially here in Alberta

She definitely drank the free-dumb convoy Kool Aid. Was it at the Wild Rose tea party?

sanity is returning

She will soon start asking for help from other provinces and the Feds with no shame! Just because of her actions

I like her more and more every day.

Service paid for ✔️ Service provided 😲 What a concept🤣🤣

No one is stopping you from quad boosting and triple masking your children, just stopping you from forcing your poor decisions on others

Nobody gives a fuck about the cold kids don’t want to wear mask the shots don’t work and Covid is not even that bad let’s move on

'current wave of viral illnesses' you mean cold and flu season, CBC? 🙄

actively censors opinions different than what they or their master's want to see. It is commonplace in their comment section especially around anything covid related.used to be proud of our national news now just ashamed by their blatant partisanship.

Even Bill Gates would agree with her. He recognises the over-reaching levels of tyranny decided upon by fear-driven propaganda, and the consequences of refusing children an education.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

The surge of flu and RSV is a result of 2 years of masks and isolation. Kids immunity to these viruses is down. Masking them and isolating will prolong the problem. Next season we would be in the same or worse predicament.

She is a bit off on a lot of topics but she is bang on with this one. Only ppl not paying attention think the government handled the pandemic appropriately. Especially as more information comes out it is clear was incompetent over reach.

Defund the CBC ASAP.

You can send your kid to school with a mask, it ain't not mandatory anymore. You're really misleading here.

Oh ferfuksake, how is this a 'measured' response? May 2023 can't come soon enough.

Hey CBC can you refer to her as Q-nut dictator who was installed by alt-right governing party? More accurate than Premier, those are elected and chosen by the populace, she wasn't. NeverVoteConservative

Well we definitely know she’s not with the WEF scumbags. She’s saving lives !! And that’s what counts.

FFS listen to the GD doctors not politicians...

A rational politician who is not driven by Covid-19 paranoia like Trudeau

Sorry lefties. Masks harm children.

That’s great! The only people opposed to this are rich elites that have the means and money to keep small children looked after because they don’t have to work or can simply do whatever they feel like. PM smith is protecting the less fortunate. 👍👍

Measured? Measured in what--bodies?

Sounds about as logical as sticking your hand in the raging fire.

Most kids will be fine. Just vaccinate your elderly or they will die in higher numbers. Death is painful to families. I'm done fighting.

Refreshing to see a politician actually promote rational policies. If you are sick stay home , if not then live normally. If you are immune compromised then take steps to protect yourself. Should have been the policy everywhere.

Political filth!

'Premier'...

A policy of forced infection. Despicable.
