Alberta Premier Jason Kenney announced Tuesday that the province will be ending the restriction exemption program (REP) at midnight.
At a news conference, the premier said while the restrictions exemption program served its purpose of increasing vaccination rates, it is no longer an effective tool for doing so and no longer needed.
Kenney said scrapping REP was among a number of changes to the province’s pandemic response that were approved by his government’s COVID-19 cabinet committee earlier in the day.
He said his government will follow a three-step plan to removing restrictions: “Alberta will move on but will do so carefully… Prudently.” He said most restrictions affecting children and youths will be lifted this weekend, including requirements for children 12 and under to wear masks.

Calm before the storm, I've lost all hope and faith, I'm sure they will be another varient and we're back to square one again, then they'll create another vaccine then more booster blah blah, this ain't over by a long shot
Finally some people are just starting to catch up with what so many of us have been trying to warn everyone about for 2 years. It's difficult for most people to see that absolutely ALL of this mayhem could have easily been avoided if the corruption, collusion, and propaganda did not exist in the first place. Our systems need complete overhauling so that things like this can never happen again.
It’s about time. My mothering in-law is 90 years old had CV and still alive!!!!!
If you want to keep your job shut up about covid.
People at Coutts border in Alberta I hope stay blocking their border until mandates are lifted Canada wide. I wouldn't trust the Premier with his past track record. The government is playing cat and mouse with the people. If the Canadians at Coutts leave the border it leaves the rest of us in other provinces vulnerable. Doug Ford is MIA and Ontario is still under siege.
And the sleeping masses wonder…why did we acquiesce to this tyranny in the first place? Why take these dangerous shots? Why did they lie to us for 2 years? Questions need answers!
The Police need to remove the protesters Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration and Impound their Trucks. Most of the Public
is against the Protesters and their extreme right wing idealogy. They need to be removed immediately from the Ambassador Bridge.
And if the Police cannot do the job, bring in the military. Cut off all their supplies at all protest areas and remove these lawbreakers.
We live in a democracy ruled by laws. And most Canadians support what these people are against. They need to be removed
from border crossings and downtown Ottawa and be punished financially for their crimes. Why should the rest of us obey the law when these people are allowed to break our laws ? We are paying for our police to do their jobs and for Public Safety. The time is now to remove these criminals and punish them. Bring in the army if needed. Or have the Americans clear the Ambassador Bridge. Enough is Enough. This is not a Protest. It is an Occupation. An Insurrection and Economic Terrorism……
Next up, fire all public health officers nation wide
Beyond disappointed. So guess he doesn’t care that I’m a Special Needs Education Assistant whose daughter has severe autoimmune lupus with kidney disease and Lupus of the brain. If I bring Covid home from my now unsafe school job, well my daughter’s chance of dying and getting it from me are extremely high. She’d likely die. Whose protecting her not you. Kenny. Your also not protecting the unvaccinated students. Way to go.
repeal emergency powers NOW so you can’t flip the dictator switch ever again
If they ever try it again, the convoys go straight to premiers houses!
Canada government is Gross And Corrupt Defund politicians immediately 💯💯💯
End this !!!!!!
Paid shills with our taxes public servants you have no authority or jurisdiction to tell anyone what to do !!!!
Well let's just see what happen for the next few months then we will believe ALL of you … I agree about time to live with covid but I will never learn to live with Kenney and Hindshaw to stay more running Alberta ! You guys need to retire period ! It's so funny how hes so against with these all restrictions now … words from a real politician lol 😆 typical
So please Explain to me how a province of 4,500,00 people only has 173 ICU beds 2 years into the pandemic?????? And why is no one questioning this????? Hey media Do your god dam job!!!!! at one point didn't we have over 700 ICU beds?????? what happened to those??? I guess firing medical workers during a pandemic didn't work out so well?
Too much talk!!😠 STOP ALL THE MANDATES NOW!!! We need our Life back!!!!
Did you make theses decisions or your whole conservatives party You have never made good decisions hmm just wondering what the party has to say
DO NOT TRUST THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT THEY HAVE STOLEN PEOPLE'S CHILDREN FROM THE CONVOY PROTEST AND THE POLICE HAVE BEEN ARRIVING AT PEOPLE'S DOORS JUST FOR COMMENTS THAT THEY'VE MADE ONLINE ON FACEBOOK. HAVE YOUR CAMERAS READY AND START FILMING EVERYTHING BECAUSE IF THE POLICE OR THE GOVERNMENT SHOWS UP AT YOUR DOOR OR CALLS YOU YOU NEED TO BE RECORDING EVERYTHING AND YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY HAS ACCESS TO YOUR INFORMATION. WE NEED TO LET THE GLOBE KNOW HOW AWFUL CANADA HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS AND WE NEED TO HOLD THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND ALL OF ITS AFFILIATES ACCOUNTABLE FOR ITS CRIMINAL ACTIONS AGAINST THE CANADIAN PEOPLE. LOOK UP BRIAN PECKFORD FROM THE NEWFOUNDLAND MP PREVIOUSLY WHO CREATED THE CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONS IN THE 1980S ON DR JORDAN PETERSON'S INTERVIEW. AGAIN HIS NAME IS BRIAN PECKFORD HE IS GOING TO GO AFTER THE GOVERNMENT AND SUE THEM THEN HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING AFTER THE GOVERNMENT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY LIFT THE COVID RESTRICTIONS THE POINT IS THEY CREATED THE PROBLEM THEY FUNDED THE PROBLEM THEN THEY FUNDED THE CURE AND THEY'VE LITERALLY TORN APART THE ENTIRE SOCIETY. CANADIAN SHOULD BE PISSED OFF AND SHOULD NOT LET THESE IDIOTS OFF THE HOOK THEY NEED TO PAY FOR THEIR CRIMES AND THEY NEED TO BE IN PRISON.
THIS IS THE TIME FOR ALL CANADIANS TO STAND UP TO THEIR GOVERNMENT AND LET THEM KNOW THAT IT'S THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN CHARGE NOT THE GOVERNMENT. THE GOVERNMENT IS SUPPOSED TO SERVE ITS PEOPLE NOT IMPRISON ITS PEOPLE OR SCARED PEOPLE OR JAIL ITS PEOPLE OR PUT FINES ON ITS PEOPLE. IT CANADIAN PEOPLE ARE GOOD PEOPLE THEY ARE NOT CRIMINALS. THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT IS THE CRIMINAL HERE AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE REALLY SORRY BECAUSE THERE ARE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF LAWSUITS COMING DOWN THE PIPELINE. DO NOT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE. Don't think that they're lifting the restriction without a hidden agenda. IF YOU DON'T EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO TELL THE GOVERNMENT WHERE TO GO THEY'RE JUST GOING TO KEEP DOING THIS TO THE CANADIAN PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE BILL GATES ALREADY CALLED THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER PANDEMIC IN THE FUTURE. SO YOU PEOPLE BETTER PREPARE YOURSELVES THAT IF THE GOVERNMENT GOT AWAY WITH THIS ONCE YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS AGAIN. DO NOT FORGET WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO THE CANADIAN SOCIETY AND OUR ECONOMY THE GOVERNMENT LITERALLY DESTROYED THE CANADIAN PEOPLE AND IT'S ECONOMY AND THEY NEED TO PAY FOR THEIR CRIMES AND THE PEOPLE NEED TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE AND HOLD THEM TO THE FIRE. POWER TO THE PEOPLE.
Drop all Covid mandates. We should be able to live free, maskless lives without being forced to take a vaccine.
Funny thing with these politicians like Kenny is they implement such rules and once their political status get questioned they start regretting implementing their rules. Honestly if you really really don't like these rules then step down as a politicians at least you can sleep better at night knowing you didn't implement the rules you have questioned and regretted at the end.
TOO LITTLE TOO LATE, JASON KENNEY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED with a new conservative leader!
And he can take Hinshaw and his corrupt attorney general with him.
He is not ending the pandemic, THE PEOPLE have said ENOUGH is ENOUGH and politicians are running scared.
Today all mandates and mask’s gone all I will except
Thank you for your balanced approach…you are very responsible leaders…as per all them countries…I agree
with you for adjusting like other countries ahead of us as done.Thank you.
Jason Kenny satellites or satellite towing a sun in the sky, squadron of helicopters, illegal police, illegal helicopters, illegal satellites 2021 1 billion dollars crop devastation insurance drought illegal Jason Kenny from liberals conduct, behavior conspiracy French Quebec?
The money spent on 400 million vaccines could have gone to hospitals
I cannot stand this guy…a mess of leadership
Thanks for doing you're job!
From what I see ….Kenny ……watch your back your on the way out
Way to much about covid,……..what about jobs , price of gas , heating food ///////the real issues. Your wasting our time about covid.
So , can I get on a plane then ? Didnt think so
We've studied the polls and the science has changed
Great News!!!
public will eventually revolt politicians and health officials! …"let them eat cake"
"we need to prepare for an angrier world" – Klaus Schwab WEF
Wow , this man rivals Hitler
Do you need a qr code to eat out ?
If you all want to wear your masks and get multiple shots, go ahead. Is it that many have felt "privilege " for masking and vaccinations, and now all will be treated the same , as equals , bothers some. Thought you were all about the science. Was it that many felt more virtuous for their compliance, and now the science that was so worshipped is no longer in your " favour" you object. Most of the people that dissagree with you, don't care either way if you get vaccinations or wear masks. Just let people live their lives, mind yourselves, or are you , your self appointed brothers keeper? Live and work together for a more unity filled existence, not toward division of your own families and communities.
COVID IS SO 2020 – it's disgraceful that they do not lift all land-border restriction – it's not rational or conventional thinking….
