Premier Danielle Smith says she is glad to see many employers and businesses changing their protocols on vaccination, but critics suggest these changes are being made because of"harassment and threats."
"My sense of where we're at right now in Alberta is that most employers have made the responsible decision to not discriminate against their workers," she said Monday. She says representatives came to the government, hat in hand, but were still"discriminating against the athletes." "The AWGIC is working closely with the Wood Buffalo 2023 Arctic Winter Games Host Society to encourage the adoption of the recommended health measures at the time of these Games including masking, hand sanitization and other actions."
Sabir said the premier should instead do more to encourage businesses to choose Alberta instead of bullying them.On top of the example of the Arctic Winter Games, Smith said she'd"heard" of discrimination against hairdressers employed at an Alberta film set.
