Alberta cabinet minister Leela Aheer says Premier Jason Kenney should apologize to Albertans after photos circulated of a dinner he held with three ministers on the patio of a government building. "We made every reasonable effort to be physically distant outdoors rather than doing an indoor meeting fully compliant with the rules," Kenney said Thursday. "Changing the names of schools and educating people about these atrocities is not 'cancel culture.' Cancel culture is what has happened to our First Nations by not acknowledging these atrocities and those responsible," Aheer wrote. Sir John A. Macdonald and Hector-Louis Langevin, among others, were architects of the residential schools where children died because of disease, neglect, and beatings."
