‘Confusion, fear, or anger’ over Alberta’s COVID-19 restriction rollback

Program Title: ‘Confusion, fear, or anger’ over Alberta’s COVID-19 restriction rollback
Description: The Alberta government's plan to lift public health restrictions has fueled anger in the province for more than a week. There have been protests in Calgary and Edmonton over the decision to soon end COVID-19 isolation requirements.

Physicians are worried about the speed of these changes and how ICUs might be overwhelmed as a result. The situation has gotten so tense that Alberta's chief medical health officer, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, who came up with the plan, had to defend it in an op-ed this week.

Maclean's Alberta correspondent Jason Markusoff talks to guest host Antoni Nerestant about the fallout to the rollback of COVID-19 restrictions, and its political implications.
