The Alberta government says it will introduce amendments to the province’s Bill of Rights this fall to strengthen protections for gun and property rights and add the right to refuse vaccinations and other medical procedures.
Premier Danielle Smith announced plans to introduce legislation in the coming weeks to “amend and strengthen” the Alberta Bill of Rights, an act declaring the rights and civil liberties of residents in the province. Smith said the proposed changes will ensure the act continues to serve its purpose in an “ever-changing world.”
“These changes are a reaffirmation of the values that make Alberta one of the freest jurisdictions on earth. They are about protecting our rights, our freedoms, and our way of life,” Smith said in a Sept. 24 video posted on platform X.
