Program Title: What led to Alberta’s enormous COVID-19 surge
Description: Alberta has nearly twice the COVID-19 case rate per 100,000 people as the next leading province, and is nearing its highest ever number of active cases. The region of Wood Buffalo, which includes Fort McMurray, declared a state of emergency on Monday. And some doctors are warning that Alberta’s ICUs are headed for a crisis similar to Ontario.
Yet, Premier Jason Kenney has declined to impose new health restrictions since he returned the province to “Step 1” measures three weeks ago.
Today on Front Burner, Maclean’s Alberta correspondent Jason Markusoff explains why Alberta’s third wave response is drawing anger from across the political spectrum, and what’s keeping Kenney from either strengthening restrictions or dropping them altogether.
