UCP members will vote this weekend at the Annual General Meeting to include newly updated wording in a health care policy resolution for Alberta's government. At the conference, members are set to debate 10 governance and 20 policy resolutions for the party. Policy resolution 15 will include newly updated wording that reads: "The United Conservative Party believes the Government of Alberta should ... protect an individual's right for their own healthcare choices and ensure individuals are not discriminated against for their personal healthcare choices."The document states the reason for the updated wording is because recent issues with COVID-19 show government, bureaucrats, government boards, and private business have the authority to discriminate based on someone's health and vaccination status. "This discrimination affects people's ability to fully participate in worship services, social activities, employment, and mobility within their own country and internationally," the resolution states.If it passes, the motion is not binding on the government.Alberta Premier Danielle Smith focused on health care and people's rights to choose, along with the Alberta Sovereignty Act during her leadership campaign.Smith also told the media and her first press conference as premier her proposed Alberta Sovereignty Act would respect Supreme Court decisions if made by the federal government."When the Supreme Court makes a decision, we have to abide by that," Smith said October 11.The AGM will start at 5 p.m. on Friday and will feature a keynote address by Smith on Saturday at 1 p.m. at the River Cree Resort in Edmonton..This is what the Western Standard is up againstThe Trudeau government is funding lies and propaganda by directly subsidizing the mainstream media.
