CALGARY – Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says he won’t “take a lecture” from federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu on how to handle COVID-19.
Hajdu earlier penned a letter to her Alberta counterpart saying she agrees with the Canadian Paediatric Society’s description of Alberta’s move to lift all COVID-19 measures as an “unnecessary and risky gamble.”
Numerous political leaders and healthcare experts across Canada have condemned Alberta’s decision to eliminate isolation, testing and contact tracing measures.
