Breaking health and education news in Alberta: new government regulations prevent schools and school boards from imposing mask mandates or moving classes solely online. They must offer an in-person option for Grades 1-12. More to come. #abed #ableg #CanPol #CanPoli #CanPolitics

@jantafrench is that even legal?

@CodieneC @jantafrench The UCP has done this before. They also banned municipalities from imposing any kind of public health policies as well.
This is their version of "hands-off government". #abpoli

@CodieneC @jantafrench Oh, and there's also this from Janet's original article:

'In October, a Court of King's Bench judge found the government's requirement to end mask mandates was "unreasonable" because the decision was made by cabinet and not the chief medical officer of health, who has that power under the Public Health Act.'

Always doubling down on their old tricks. #abpoli

@CodieneC @ned @jantafrench If you got away with it once without real consequences, why try again?

@jantafrench A “free and prosperous” Alberta comes with a large side order of sociopathy.

@jantafrench The entitlement of a few outweigh the needs of the many. This is the UCP motto.
