Parents of immunocompromised children sue Alberta government
So far, the court has denied the motion to return the mask regime, but the litigation will soon continue.
As of Feb. 14, Alberta students are no longer required to wear masks at all times. Roberts O'Kelly Law filed a motion on Sunday, the day before the mask regime was lifted, to restore the rights of immunocompromised children to a safe learning environment. A total of five such children were found. The Alberta Federation of Labour, which represents about 170,000 union members in the province, joined the motion.
The motion said that reversing the restrictions was a political decision made by people with no rights or knowledge of health care, under pressure from blackmailers and troublemakers. According to the latest nationwide poll, 68% of Canadians disagree with the Ottawa protesters, and 57% consider the protest "offensive and inappropriate."
The judge dismissed the part of the petition relating directly to the wearing of the masks, because the petitioners did not provide arguments that the lack of masks would cause irreparable harm to the children. Consideration of who has the authority to decide on restrictions and their removal has been postponed for now.
Children whose parents fear for their health are not yet in school. Lawyers who have taken up their rights are gathering evidence that the requirement to wear masks is not a whim or a precaution, but a vital necessity.
On February 10, New Brunswick dismissed another lawsuit against compulsory vaccination. The judge concluded that discrimination could not be said because people had a choice between vaccination and leave without pay.
