A nurse is suing Alberta Health Services (AHS) for firing her after she publicly criticised AHS' handling of patient care during the pandemic and its treatment of unvaccinated patients and staff.

Debra Carritt says she first went through official channels with her concerns, from her direct manager up through to the province’s health minister. When that failed, she went to the media.
