Firearms advocate and former member of the Alberta Firearms Advisory Committee Teri Bryant was appointed to the newly-created role.
“As a lifelong firearms collector and enthusiast, I could not be more excited for this opportunity to represent Albertans and stand up for our province’s way of life and lawful firearms culture. I cannot wait to meet with other passionate Albertans with Minister Madu on our tour to find out how we can get a fair deal for Albertans,” said Bryant.
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 health-care experts across Canada have condemned Alberta’s decision to eliminate isolation, testing and contact tracing measures.
OTTAWA – Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu has sent a letter to her Alberta counterpart saying she shares concerns about the province’s plan to lift all of its COVID-19 health restrictions.
In the letter, addressed to Alberta Health Minister Tyler Shandro, Hajdu says she agrees with the Canadian Paediatric Society’s description of the move as an “unnecessary and risky gamble.”
She says recent modelling for Alberta forecasts a more serious resurgence in cases fuelled by the Delta variant, and all governments need to take reasonable steps to protect Canadians.

Science expert Hajdu on coronavirus: ‘The risk remains low to Canadians’
Sarah Hoffman, who is deputy leader for the NDP, says an independent review is necessary to look into the United Conservative government’s decision to end isolation requirements, contact tracing and asymptomatic testing.
Public Health Director Theresa Tam urges people to continue to isolate themselves, get tested for COVID-19, and inform their close contacts, even if it is no longer required.
Alberta’s case levels have risen and the Delta variant is now dominant.
… Kenney recently said he was not surprised eco-groups are criticizing the inquiry as unfair and tilted toward a prejudged outcome.
“They don’t want the public to realize they have been receiving massive amounts of money from foreign sources to shut down the largest job-creating industry in Canada,” Kenney said on July 22.
“They don’t want the disinfectant of transparency to come down on them. That’s why they went to court. Thankfully, the Court of Queen’s Bench threw their case out.”
Alberta has a strong case for reform of equalization policy and more generally of its treatment in Confederation. Inequitable equalization payments are typical of Alberta’s status as an exploited cash cow and of the indifference and even disdain it is subjected to by a powerful Laurentian elite, progressive mainstream media and the reigning Liberal party. Central and Eastern Canadians should pay close attention — if they care about national unity and economic growth.
A controversial two-year long inquiry into allegations that foreign actors attempted to unfairly sully the international reputation of Alberta oil and gas is scheduled to be completed by July 30.
On that day, commissioner and forensic accountant Steve Allan’s report will be due to Energy Minister Sonya Savage. She is compelled to publicly release his findings within 90 days of receiving them.
In 2019, Allan was initially tapped to report back by July 2, 2020. He had a budget of $2.5 million to investigate any funding furnished by sinister actors to environmental groups, and whether any organization receiving that money to smack-talk oil also receives government grants or holds charitable status in Canada.
The Alberta NDP wants COVID-19 immunization clinics in schools when classes resume this fall to ensure more students get their second dose of vaccine as soon as possible.
Edmonton NDP MLA Janis Irwin mocked Jesus and the Bible, used bully tactics, interfered with a citizen’s right to free speech, and encouraged vigilantism against a street preacher.
And she sported a huge grin during a stunning display of reprehensibly rabid intolerance on Friday.
The biggest factor, said ATB Deputy Chief Economist Robert Roach, is employment.
“A big driver, especially in Alberta is economic conditions: are people going to find a job?” said Roach. “They come here looking for jobs, and if they can’t find one, or the opposite happens, and unemployment starts to rise, they tend to leave. So that’s exactly what’s happened.”
And who caused that?
Hinshaw described the Lambda variant as a ‘variant of interest’, with experts monitoring it to see if it gets upgraded to a ‘variant of concern’.
A Polish-Canadian pastor who was arrested and jailed for holding church services in defiance of Alberta’s Public Health Act alleged that provincial health officials and law enforcement apply a different standard to Muslims who violate lockdown orders.
Pastor Artur Pawlowski, who made international headlines when he was arrested in the middle of a busy highway on his way home from church, told The Christian Post (CP) that authorities pick on Christians because they know they will not fight back.
