Alberta premier Jason Kenney condemns planned hospital protests
CBC
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is condemning planned protests at hospitals in Edmonton and Calgary on Monday by an anti-mandatory vaccination group.
Canadian Frontline Nurses is planning protests at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton and Foothills hospital in Calgary. In a statement posted online, Kenney said peaceful protests are a constitutional right but they also have limits. "Today's protests must in no way obstruct the important operations of our hospitals, including the arrival and departure of emergency vehicles and workers. Blocking an ambulance is most definitely not peaceful protest," he said. "In Alberta, local law enforcement is fully empowered to enforce the law in a timely fashion, including the potential use of the Critical Infrastructure Defence Act." The act, passed in the spring of 2020, allows fines to be levied against any person or company found to have blocked, damaged or entered without reason any "essential infrastructure." The bill was passed in response to blockades of rail lines in January 2020.
