Amid multiple massive Freedom Convoys throughout Canada, the Western provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan have become first provinces to end COVID-19 vaccine passports.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney on Tuesday announced an end to the vaccine passport system in Alberta, effective midnight last night.

At an evening news conference, Kenney said the restriction exemption program has served its purpose, but is no longer needed since Alberta passed peak of Omicron infections about three weeks ago.

“The threat of COVID-19 to public health no longer outweighs the hugely damaging impact of health restrictions on our society,” said Kenney, adding his government would only move forward if it does not threaten the capacity of the health-care system.

Capacity limits were also nixed Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. for venues with capacity limits under 500, including libraries and places of worship.

Alberta premier Jason Kenney announced that the province would be phasing out COVID restrictions effective immediately.

Starting next week, Alberta will also no longer require youth to be masked in schools, and children aged 12 and under will not be required to be masked in any setting.

Albertans no longer need to show their proof of vaccination to dine in restaurants or sit in entertainment venues. As of Monday, masking requirements will be lifted for students of all ages. pic.twitter.com/bDpxrH2TOp

Not to be outdone, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe announced on Tuesday that the province will begin scrapping COVID-19 restrictions—starting with vaccine mandate—effective at 12:01 a.m. on February 14.

During a news conference on February 8, Moe said, “Today, with Omicron, the benefits of the proof of vaccination policy no longer outweigh the costs.”

The premier noted that COVID-19 vaccine mandates have caused divisions in families

Does this mean that trucks can now go back and forth across the US border with Alberta?

Based on the reactions of the truckers in many of these videos, it seems to me that even they had no clue of the groundswell of support they would be receiving.

They are clearly moved to tears by the crowds. They must have thought they were in this alone and didn’t realize that they were the match that started a worldwide revolution.

This is going to reset the Great Reset.

Now Klaus Schawb and his minions are going to have to punt. I don’t think they expected this either. They probably figured that with the help of the MSM they could marginalize and dispirit the truckers and they would give up.

The WEF elitists vastly underestimated the masses they so despise.

End the mandates, this is the final and most odious offense they have inflicted upon us. Until then no dice.

Jason Kenney is a Canadian version of Mitt Romney.

Did the Soviets realize that a strike of Shipyard workers in Gadansk would bring their whole rotten structure down? The only question remaining is if the Government will resort to violence. That did not work out very well for the dictatorship in Romania.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has left loopholes in his announcement.

The truckers maintain the blockade on the Alberta border with Montana at Coutts and there’s a second blockade to the north at Milk River.

Such an easy solution.

The truckers are not looking to overthrow the government.

The left’s over reaction and misinterpretation of the situation shows what they are really thinking.

Aside from being totally humor challenged, and incapable of thinking through the consequences of their own actions, they are masters of projection.

Every hour, another mandate is dropped, and Fidel Trudeau is looking more ridicules. The elite’s great reset is looking like the great reject.

At this point it is about the government, at least in the sense of the Turdeau government.

If Turdeau had been respectful and willing to listen, it would still be about the mandate. It was Turdeau who raised the stakes, and now he must lose it all.

“if the Government will resort to violence.”

According to Pope John Paul II, violence is a proof of weakness. Moral strength from family, friends and patriots always defeats the weak leaders who wish to be violent. Always. I hope every trucker prays the rosary daily to increase moral strength.
