A Canadian province has conceded to nationwide demonstrations by the nation’s truckers and will abolish vaccine passports immediately and end most COVID-related restrictions by month’s end.
Jason Kenney, the premier of Alberta, announced Tuesday evening that the passport requirement to enter businesses in the province will end at 11:59 p.m. local time and most other restrictions will be gone in three steps over the next three weeks.
“Now is the time to begin learning to live with COVID,” Mr. Kenney said in a televised address. “These restrictions have led to terrible division.”
“We cannot remain at a heightened state of emergency forever. We have to begin to heal,” he said.
The Ottawa ‘Freedom Convoy,’ which has shut down Canada’s capital in the past weeks, has spread throughout the country and trucks have been blockading the southern border wth the U.S., demanding an end to all COVID-19 mandates and restrictions.

Excellent News.👍
Someone is paying attention...
Bump.
For all items of this sort, thank you for putting “canada” , “convoy” etc, to avail search by key word.
Saskatchewan will end it soon enough and it will be almost impossible for the rest of Canada to not follow suit.
This is indeed a huge win. “My body my choice”.
shocking that Alberta wasn’t with them all the way, but good on them!
are you listening USA?
“Caves to”, as if the truckers were in the wrong?
They blinked.
YEA!
Shhhh Biden was napping during all of this.
It's good to see the politicians noticing the people but geez these guys will likely be coming through here with no experience in driving in a Montana winter.
It's getting in the 40-50’s in the day but below freezing at night when most of you may be driving, watch out for the black ice, you won't know till you hit it so take it easy...
hold the line...
They need to end the no fly across border w/o vax as well. Big problem for many with loved ones across borders.
The following thread notes some important fine-print.
