Ontario calling back? Alberta premier's comments criticized amid promises of a better life

Alberta is calling with promises of higher wages and a lower cost of living. Although anyone who answered this week got a new message.

From a hospital recruitment pitch to an article in a world-renowned publication, Premier Danielle Smith's comments about unvaccinated Canadians have caught the eye of a growing number of people. And now, Ontario is calling back.

Alex Munter is the head of the children's hospital in Ottawa, and they're recruiting. Seeing an opportunity, he took to Twitter with his own message against racism and anti-immunization — and he's seeing some interest.

Premier Smith hasn't apologized, but has said she never intended to trivialize the discrimination faced by minority communities and other persecuted groups.

Still, NDP leader Rachel Notley said that on her first day, the premier has done immense harm to Alberta's reputation. Tom Vernon explains.

If Notley says you should do something, then you probably shouldn’t.

I live in Ontario and anyone who would move into Doug Fords Ontario needs medical attention for serious head injuries!

Some brave words and the media pounced. We need fresh media in Canada.

This sounds like the issue between California lockdowns and either Texas or Florida freedoms. The Clifornification of Ontario.

Show me one occasion in the past 80 + YEARS. When a member of the Jewish Community, was prevented from getting on a Train.

I wouldn’t call myself “global” anything these days. You might as well just call yourself third reich.

Met your match here Justin . Can’t fire / intimidate this one … or EXTORT …

[paulsmith]

She is right. I couldn't go see my grandson born! I can't cross the border still! My wife got sick and had to go to the hospital myself! I don't see any Jews or people of colour or even trans/LGBTQ having to go through this ever! She is right and her comments are true.

Alberta in reality is better though, highest paying wages and cheapest housing, libs always hated Alberta and always will sadly! better reason to break free from them. so come on down

[lauraarmstrong]

Danielle Smith spoke the TRUTH. Her brave willingness to shine light on the discrimination of those who chose not to take these injections gives credence to Alberta and much needed hope to this country.

Nothing wrong with her comments. Stop gaslighting bout ppl being against her comments, its like maybe 1-2 people found it offensive

[NJ-jufr]

Hey CBC's Global division, if Danielle is Canadian you are obligated to tell her story favourably. She just earned votes and a piggy bank of forgiveness for 3 future blackface appearances and 1 future grope. We anticipate the piggy bank will never be broken.

I cannot believe we are now in a position of Provinces fighting for workers. May be the cost of living and short term gig contracts is driving them away surprise surprise!!!

[backbeat]

i'm with Alberta and Danielle Smith and her welcome voice to so many of us in Ontario and across Canada who have been marginalized. THANK YOU!!!

[joeydementia]

Pray for the Vaccinated for they have put themselves in grave danger

[juswin]

I think more premiers need to be like Danielle Smith

[belledorris]

do not apologize since it was 100% true. if it wasnt why we dont need passports anymore..

[nancyhilman]

Danielle Smith was 100% right the reason. Rachel took it personnel because she was the one pushed this discrimination and even wanted more

[mariaboldt]

It is the truth, don't don't gave up fiding for us, we need this in Alberta
