It's Time for an Alberta Vaccine Passport

Published: Sept. 9, 2021, 8:32 p.m.

Albertans are vexed and the Kenney cash-for-a-jab scheme to bribe bad faith anti-vaxxers to get vaccinated.

They are not going to change their vehement and vile attitude against vaccination for a mere hundred bucks.  They will believe that Kenney is desperate and that they are winning the Conservative Culture War when It comes to COVID.  And they are!

the Unvaccinated are clogging up our hospitals, ICUs, overwhelming our caregivers, and preventing responsible citizens from health care.  They are costing taxpayers unnecessary additional health operating costs and undermining our economic recovery.

Coddling with carrots must be over.  Their bad-faith fabricated farce about "Freedom" is not being taken away.  They can still refuse to get vaccinated but now with consequences. A comprehensive and forcefully applied Vaccination Passport will respect their choices but not allow them to add to the COVID risk to the rest of us.  The rest of us have Rights too, and ours are in the Charter.

It is time for Kenney to put away his Libertarian Ideology and do the right thing for a change.  Consider what is best for all Albertans, not just policies that pander to the radicals in his Political Base.
