Incumbent Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and the ruling United Conservative Party (UCP) have introduced new legislation reinforcing the rights of the citizens to decline vaccinations.
Under the administration of former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, who served as the 18th premier of Alberta from 2019 to 2022, Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine mandates in the private and public sectors in Alberta and other parts of Canada became a norm. The vaccine mandate resulted in thousands of job losses and discrimination for those who refused the experimental medical procedure.
Smith, elected as leader of the UCP in 2022 and premier in 2023, proposed Bill 24, known as the Alberta Bill of Rights Amendment Act, on the first day of Alberta’s fall legislative session on Oct. 28. Bill 24 proposes the addition of specific protections for individual medical autonomy and personal freedoms. (Related: Alberta premier pledges to amend Bill of Rights to include HEALTH FREEDOM.)
“Society relies on the ability of its citizens to make decisions willingly express themselves freely, own property and use it as they see fit and it also relies on citizens autonomy over their bodies and the right to make their own choices about the medical treatments they receive,” Smith announced at a news conference on Oct. 28. “No one should be pressured into accepting any medical treatment without their full consent, including a vaccine.”
The proposed amendment codifies a citizen’s right to refuse any form of medical care, including vaccines, except in cases where the individual could pose a significant risk to themselves or others.
In addition to reinforcing health freedom, Smith also proposed strengthening protections on personal autonomy, property rights and the freedoms of expression and ownership.
The proposed amendment would also ensure that any deprivation of property must be legally sanctioned, with the government compensating citizens fairly for any confiscation. This proposed change introduces safeguards against unauthorized seizures and strengthens Albertans’ security over their legally owned properties.
It would also expand freedom of expression to cover spoken and written language and other forms of expressive conduct. Additionally, the proposed amendment would secure Albertans’ right to acquire, keep and use firearms within legal parameters.
If passed, the amendments would enable Alberta courts to declare any conflicting provincial law unenforceable to make it easier for Albertans to uphold their rights. The scope would also extend to all provincial government actions, including legislation, policies, programs and actions by heavily government-controlled entities such as municipalities, police and hospitals. The amendments would also require notification to the Minister of Justice for any legal action challenging Alberta laws under the Bill of Rights.
Moreover, new clauses clarify that although Alberta’s government may impose reasonable limits on rights, these must align with the principles of a “free and democratic Alberta – its unique cultural values and commitment to individual freedoms. If approved, these amendments would take effect upon Royal Assent. However, it would only apply to rights infringements after the passage. In other words, ongoing property cases initiated before the amendments would be excluded from these new protections.
