How did anti-vaxxers get such a stranglehold on Alberta politics? The anti-vax movement that supports Premier Smith is rooted in protest groups that oppose the Canada’s climate change and environmental policies. Opinion by GillianSteward
Danielle Smith had been premier of Alberta less than a day when she grabbed headlines far and wide by declaring that unvaccinated people were the “most discriminated against group” she had seen in her lifetime .”The unvaxxed were so discriminated against, Smith said, she is going to make sure they are protected under the Alberta Human Rights Act.
Smith was pandering to the 53 per cent of United Conservative Party members that had elected her leader a few days before. Likely the same members, mostly rural, that ousted former UCP Premier Jason Kenney in April because they were still angry about vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, masking and other public health restrictions that no doubt prevented rapid transmission of COVID-19 and saved thousands of lives.
“If you believe that corrupt, traitorous eastern elites are selling out your economy and livelihood to satisfy foreign environmentalists based on spurious climate science, it is not too far of a leap to believe those same corrupt elites would sacrifice your economy and livelihood to satisfy the interests of pharmaceutical corporations based on what you believe to be equally spurious vaccine science,” writes Enoch.
