Jason Kenney

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, facing consistently high COVID cases that are pushing the health system to the brink of collapse, is rejecting new measures and a so-called “firebreak” lockdown of the economy.

Numbers are down three per cent down from a week ago but case counts are still over 1,000 per day

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says help is on the way to battle a COVID-19 wave that continues to overwhelm hospitals.

A military contingent is expected to be in position today to decide where to deploy eight critical care nurses who will help Alberta fight COVID-19.
