Premier Danielle Smith says she plans to reinforce the right to decide whether to receive a vaccination or other medical procedure in changes to the Alberta Bill of Rights.

In an online video posted Tuesday, Smith said her government aims to amend the document in a few weeks to ensure people have the right to make informed decisions without fear of undue pressure or interference by the government.

"It is my firm conviction that no Albertan should ever be subjected (to) or pressured into accepting a medical treatment without their full consent," she said.

The changes outlined by Smith would also ensure the province respects "the right of individuals to legally acquire, keep and safely use firearms."

Alrighty, I live in BC. Next pandemic I vote we close the road passes to Alberta to anyone not vaccinated.

Why wait? Albertans are already a plague of assholery in BC.

Its almost like they don't enjoy spending time in the wasteland they've created πŸ€”

Come on BC, pitting us against you is exactly the way they accumulate more power.

John Rustad doesn't believe that COVID is a serious disease, regrets his COVID vaccine (sorry, "so-called vaccine"), supports anti-LGBTQ2+ agendas, doesn't believe in climate change, and...has a good shot of being your next premier.

You're in the same boat as us - christofascists controlling the narrative, then controlling the government, then the media, then our bodies and our lives. By lashing out at "stupid redneck Albertans" you're wasting effort that should be spent taking down the people pushing this narrative. Meanwhile, we're wasting effort defending ourselves (and counterattacking), instead of ... that's right - taking down the people pushing this narrative.

BC and Alberta together. And Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, the other four provinces and three territories - we need to STAND TOGETHER AGAINST FASCISM, and not let them drive wedges between us.

Solidarity.

That seems a little extreme. Just "involuntarily treat" everyone who crosses the border.
