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.”

    How is that even possible? Are restrictions on firearms a provincial matter instead of a federal one?

      As far as I know its federal.

      But now she’s laid the groundwork to blame the federal government for something she doesn’t have the jurisdiction to deal with in the first place.
