‘If they try to impose mandatory shots on children, we will say no. If they demand that we segregate the unvaccinated from normal activities, we will say no,’ Danielle Smith emphasized.
(LifeSiteNews) – Former Alberta MLA turned talk show host Danielle Smith has pledged that should she win the leadership of the United Conservative Party of Alberta (UCP) and become Premier, there will “never” again be lockdowns, and people’s conscience rights would be protected by law.
Smith made the promise via a video she posted Tuesday on Twitter.
“What happened over the last two years … must never happen again,” Smith said.
“The right to express your opinion, travel freely, make an honest living and to be treated as equals are at the very core of what it means to be Canadian, regardless of background or beliefs.”
Smith continued by saying, “So let me be perfectly clear, as premier, our province will never lock down again. Your kids will stay in school. Your business will remain open. You will be able to travel.”
“And I will amend the Alberta Human Rights Act so no one can ever be discriminated against for their personal political beliefs or the medical decisions they make for themselves or their children,” she added.
Smith then said boldly that if “Ottawa attacks our charter rights and freedoms again, we will not enforce those policies here.”
“Because the freedoms of Albertans are non-negotiable,” she added.
Smith’s video has gone viral, and has at the time of writing around 178,000 views.
Current Alberta Premier Jason Kenney in May announced his intention to resign as UCP leader as soon as the party elects a new head. This came after he only narrowly passed a confidence vote from party members, no doubt due to his track record of locking down Alberta hard.
Under Kenney, Alberta pastor Artur Pawlowski was jailed for nearly three months after speaking out against COVID mandates when he gave a sermon to truckers blockading the highway in Coutts, Alberta.
