I heard that Nashville North at the Calgary Stampede required proof of vaccination for entry. Is that true?

Good. I’m glad that jkenney is finally understanding that the people of Alberta won’t put up with his anti-freedom crap.

Of course not. Jerk

Vaccine passports will not be hard to forge, already sold on the black market as low as 50$ . Just a way to create a new market.

You cannot get on an international flight with showing proof of being vaccinated…There are restrictions in sporting events and you must show proof of vaccination… This will become the future… It’s not right this is what happened

No wonder Canada hates Alberta… Trumphf land lol

AB premier is going in the right direction by re-opening the economy and the return to normal. Similar policies of the governors of Florida, Texas, and few states to respect the will of people, the health privacy act, the no passport mandate, and the democratic process.

It's largely out of his hands, when it comes to the airports.

The assclown is finally doing something right. FINALLY.

Cue a bunch of 'well guess I won't be going to Alberta' tweets from people who've never been and never planned on going to Alberta to begin with

We in Alberta have to get rid of jkenney cause we do need a vaccine passport in our province. He's trying to take everything down from healthcare & wanting fossil fuel that's destroying our planet. He's a wannabe dictator that thinks he can get away with anything in our province

I'm shocked.

Mistake!

If his track record is any indication he will be implementing vax passports tomorrow.

Think again Mr.Premier, Think again.

Few of his base supporters would qualify for one...not surprised by this one bit... ableg abpoli UCP cdnpoli

Good

Buy now, pay later...

Land of the free

Who cares what this guy says. He is destroying health care.

Bravo Alberta! What a Kenney!!!

Perfect. All the anti vax, covid deniers can all go live happily ever after in Alberta.

Pandering to the stupid.

You don't need a vaccine to go to many provinces. However many countries will ask for proof of vaccines. As it is their country, they have the right to control visitors coming in. So those refusing to get vaccines might have to stay home. Their choice.

Glad I'm not Albertan. More hoops for them to jump through when they want to travel.

You know what will dictate these vax passports? The Market, just like everything else. If your place of business is declining because of vax and mask 'freedoms', your tune will change very rapidly towards some sort of vax ID. No exceptions because of your freedumb.

Well, looks like travel to Europe is out of the question for you, Albertans. Of course, we can always ask for vaccine passports again, in 2023, when you're no longer Premier, jkenney....

Has anyone really noticed, that it's the conservative government throughout Canada that seem to be messing up everything....

I wonder if Jason Kenney has any shmick at all that Alberta may not have a choice in the long run?

Every child in Quebec has a booklet that lists the vaccinations that they've had since birth. Many schools don't allow students to attend class if they're not inoculated. How does that 'contravene' anything?

The vaccine passports can be a federal thing

Trumpland

Of course not. And we can chose NOT to visit Alberta because of it.

So Alberta will be respecting Canadian law ? 🤔 Funny how people now find it special when leaders say they will respect people’s freedoms and rights like they are supposed to do eh ? 🤔✊🏿 Imana

Good

Elmasmixedmedia What a dolt. So where does that leave Albertans wanting to travel?

'we will be the covid capital of canada, yeehaw'

I hope it’s mandated federally.

Haha....Sooooo unexpected of him. So Trumpish...always.

Kinda not up to him lol. 🤣
