EDMONTON — Premier Danielle Smith says she plans to reinforce the right to decide whether to receive a vaccination or other medical procedure in changes to the Alberta Bill of Rights.
In an online video, Smith says her government is introducing legislation in a few weeks to reinforce medical freedoms, affirm property rights and add the right to legally acquire, keep and use firearms.
Smith says she believes law-abiding gun owners have been targeted by the federal government, and she hopes the changes will better protect them.
Smith’s announcement comes as she faces a party leadership review in early November.
Alberta conservatives have been known to boot their own leaders from the top job, including former UCP premier Jason Kenney.
More coming.
