The unvaccinated “have been the most discriminated-against group that I’ve ever witnessed in my lifetime,” Alberta Premier Danielle Smith told reporters at the Alberta legislature.
B.C. Premier John Horgan says comments this week by newly elected Alberta Premier Danielle Smith referring to the unmatched discrimination against people who did not get vaccinated against COVID-19 as “laughable.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a situation in my lifetime where a person was fired from their job or not allowed to watch their kids play hockey or not allowed to go visit a loved one in long-term care or hospital, not allowed to get on a plane to either go across the country to see family or even travel across the border.Horgan said a minority of people did not get vaccinated while the majority did so for themselves, their families and communities.
“So these are these are critical times and for the incoming premier to focus on a sliver of the population who chose not to get vaccinated when there are all these other challenges seems short sighted to me,” he said.
