Alberta’s $100 vaccine giveaway shows the government is ‘reaching the limit’

The Alberta government is offering a $100 debit card to residents over 18 if they get a first or second dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine. The province is the first in Canada to directly offer money in a bid to lure those reluctant to take the shot.

On this episode of Crisis Management, Jeff Lagerquist and the Public Policy Forum’s Sean Speer discuss the latest COVID-19 developments as kids head back to school and adults head to the polls to vote in the federal election.
