A large group of health care workers have written an open letter to Alberta’s new premier, Danielle Smith, criticizing Alberta Health Services (AHS) for what they call the organization’s “draconian” policies and “mismanagement” during the province’s COVID-19 response.

The letter states Smith was accurate in describing the unvaccinated as “the most discriminated group of Albertans” in her lifetime.
