We've got our first signs of life in the battleground of Edmonton-Centre.

This riding has historically had some of the closest races in all of Canada.

#yeg #Elxn44 #cdnpoli
Liberal Randy Boissonnault opens up a bit of a lead on CPC incumbent James Cumming with 8 of 209 polls counted.

#yeg #yyc #Elxn44
And Edmonton Centre swings (which might be the first of many) as James Cumming regains the lead.

City of Edmonton manager Andre Corbould confirms that:

- City will require proof of vaccine/negative test at all city facilities

- City will require employees to be vaccinated (or they workers can pay for regularly testing out of pocket)

#yeg #yyc #ableg #covid19ab
Corbould says front line staff who would be taking payments/passes are the ones who will be looking at passports.

Early reports have Edmontonians being patients and supportive, high 90s in compliance so far.
Corbould can't say anything about the percentage of which documents are being used today, but they accept any legit options like your vaccine receipt or vax passport.

Kenney Facebook live!

Q- You need to stop open and closing, you're hurting people's mental health?

A- Kenney says that's one of the reasons Alberta has treated restrictions as a last resort, unlike say Australia and NZ hard lockdowns.
Kenney knows everyone wants predictability - which is why he erred on the side of caution this summer.

But he says the disease changes, so too does human behaviour.

Adds that 20% unvaxxed adults are the largest part of the hospital crunch.
Q- Do you remember when you said vax passports were illegal?

A - He remembers, but he says he always said there could be exceptions.

Adds he sought legal advice from lawyers about this and they said there can be circumstances that justify a policy framework like this.

QUESTIONS!

Q- Will new rules be enough to prevent hospitals bein overwhelmed, and when will we see effects?

A- Says it's up to Albertans to follow the rules to know if they'll work.

Hinshaw says it typically takes 1-2 weeks to see impact on cases, longer for hospitals.
Q- Do you expect a challenge getting people on board and dealing with enforcement?

A- Hinshaw believes the majority of Albertans want to do the right thing. Says she's heard from biz that they want to follow the rules.

Adds that non-immunized are also inclined to follow rules
Q- do you have enough staff to enforce?

A- Dr. Yiu says they do have a finite staff, but she's confident they have enough inspectors.
