EDMONTON - Alberta’s Opposition NDP leader says Premier Danielle Smith has made the province an international embarrassment by proclaiming those who didn’t get vaccinated during COVID-19 endured the worst discrimination she’s seen in her lifetime. “This is a story about Alberta in one of the world’s most well-read economic publications,” said Notley. “(The unvaccinated) have been the most discriminated-against group that I’ve ever witnessed in my lifetime,” she said. As furor escalated Wednesday, Smith’s office issued a statement clarifying that she did not seek to minimize the experiences of other discriminated groups. Smith’s leadership opponents criticized her, including one who had lost his son to cancer, and she apologized for the hurt she had caused.
