After putting 1,650 AHS workers on unpaid leave over the vaccine mandate, 700 of the dispossessed have come together in protest as part of the Alberta Boot Project.
The Alberta Boot Project is a display wherein workers leave their footwear and accompanying messages outside, along with signs that speak of their forlorn indignation over being forced out of a job over non-compliance with Trudeau’s dictatorial policies.
“This project commemorates the thousands of healthcare and emergency services workers in Alberta who have put everything on the line to protect freedom of choice, and as a result have been forced into unpaid [leave of absence] by [the Alberta Health Service],” their Facebook page reads.
“We stand against medical coercion.”
According to one sign, the collective years of service of the 700 is 11,682, meaning that each of the workers faithfully served the Alberta Health Service for an average of 16.7 years.
“We’re here today to draw awareness to the human cost these mandates have taken and to help people realize these are real people and families affected,” Kate King, the founder of the Project, told the Western Standard in an interview.
“… We’re hoping to raise as much awareness as possible so people can see we’re real people who are suffering through this.”
The Alberta Boot Project’s display is currently making its rounds across Alberta and, as of Thursday, can be found at Red Deer.
They plan to move the display to Grande Prairie, St. Paul, Bonnyville, and Lethbridge in the coming weeks.
According to a Facebook post, the group says they have been “approached by a sympathetic MLA and are attempting to create a legitimate database of Alberta Health Care workers who have been affected by this mandate, to present to government as proof of AHS’s fraudulent statistical reporting.”
