The politics behind high case counts and low vaccination rates in Alberta
When you look at Canada as a whole, 71% of Canadians are fully vaccinated. But if you look at individual provinces, the numbers vary quite a bit. Here in BC, we're currently at 73% of the total population. In Alberta, it's more like 64%. Although vaccine passports and other incentives have prompted some to get vaccinated, many people are still hesitant. To find out what's behind this reluctance, we've contacted Taylor Lambert. He is the Alberta politics reporter for The Sprawl.
