NEW:

Premier Danielle Smith confirms her government will ban any masking mandates in K-12 schools going forward. #yeg #yyc #ableg #covid19ab Image
This comes after a court ruling this week that deemed earlier government efforts to curb school masking mandates as unreasonable, and that schools were not technically barred from having them despite opposition from the Education minister.
UPDATED:

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith confirmed her government will ban any mask mandates in schools going forward.

She also says the province will explore if an appeal of a judge's ruling this week on mask mandates would be “appropriate.” #yeg #yyc

"They're the most discriminated against group that I've ever witnessed in my lifetime."

Danielle Smith says unvaccinated people have suffered greater discrimination than those based on race, gender, sexuality.
Smith says this isn't to take away discrimination from those other groups - but we aren't going to create a segregated society based on a medical choice.
Smith says we have to stop victimizing becuase they made a different choice- but if she needs to make the apoint that this type of discrimination is unnacceptable, then she's changing the Human Rights Act.
