The Canadian province of Alberta will be ending its mandated vaccine passport system at midnight along with other coronavirus restrictions.
During a press conference on Tuesday, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney laid out his three-step plan to end coronavirus restrictions in the Canadian province. On the issue of vaccine passports, the premier said the QR code system for vaccinated citizens will still be in place for businesses that wish to enforce it, though they will not be required to do so.
When asked why he will continue to allow businesses to discriminate based on vaccinated status, the premier cited the “free market.”
