Alberta is resolute in avoiding further lockdown measures, while Canada’s prime minister called on provincial and municipal governments to close down sectors of the economy to contain the spread of the CCP virus.

“With rising cases of COVID-19 here at home, there’s added pressure on all orders of government to keep people safe and to protect jobs,” said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a statement on Tuesday. “But I would hope that no leader in our country is easing public health vigilance because they feel pressure not to shut down businesses or slow down our economy.”
