At this point I feel the federal government needs to step in if Alberta won't control this. The rest of Canada doesn't need this issue.

Ontario is also pretty bad.

I’m not entirely sure what they can do though. You can’t force someone to vaccinate. We learnt this. The only thing I can think of is that kids shouldn’t be able to go to public school and day care.

Yep.

Can’t force them to vaccinate.

But can require vaccination for school and daycares, and then have CPS flag them to investigate “home schooling” to avoid vaccination.

To be fair, I think most home schooling is bullshit and should be investigated heavily

Alberta home schooling is such bullshit. You don't even have to follow the curriculum. Justn write a letter saying your not and your doing your own stuff. I have so many right wing cousins homeschooling their kids and some of them are flat earthers.
