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 posted Tuesday, Smith said her government aims to amend the document in a few weeks to ensure people have the right to make informed decisions without fear of undue pressure or interference by the government.

"It is my firm conviction that no Albertan should ever be subjected (to) or pressured into accepting a medical treatment without their full consent," she said.

The changes outlined by Smith would also ensure the province respects "the right of individuals to legally acquire, keep and safely use firearms."

They looked at USA's ongoing dumpster fire to the south and said "that looks nice and warm."

Conservatives are a plague

Conservatives have adopted the franchise model and applied it to politics. They conform themselves to head office (in this case Republicans in the US) and get to piggy back off the propaganda that gets put out by them. The US being the media powerhouse that it is, it's pretty effective. Alberta is the most obvious example of this.

The first PM to do this was Mulroney with Reagan (and his -nomics bs that's led us to this hellscape).

If we had been smarter back then we never would have elected that idjit in the first place. All he did was follow Reagan around like a lap dog.

Having lived through the Trump years in the USA I do not grok how anyone can think it a proper way to run a government. It was not even the proper way to run a trash fire.
