Canadian province Alberta has announced it will lift a number of COVID-19 restrictions, including ending its vaccine passport program among residents, The Edmonton Journal reports.
Speaking at a news conference, Alberta's Premier Jason Kenney said the previous restrictions imposed by the provincial government have served their purpose since the omicron variant spread of the virus had peaked in recent weeks.
Starting Wednesday, capacity limits of under 500 for venues, libraries and places of worship will end, according to The Edmonton Journal.
"The threat of COVID-19 to public health no longer outweighs the hugely damaging impact of health restrictions on our society," Kenney said.

Bad acting nominations went to “an otherwise great actress” Amy Adams with nods for both “Woman in the Window” and “Dear Evan Hansen,” LeBron James, “who most likely dunked his chances for basking in the cinema limelight by starring in ‘Space Jam 2,'” and Bruce Willis for, well, being Bruce Willis, apparently. Having appeared in eight projects that The Razzie thought were all pretty bad, they gave him his own category this year — Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie.

Vice President Kamala Harris - a simple visual aid
When folks don’t understand why it’s a big deal that Kamala Harris is the Vice President (no matter your political affiliation), it’s helpful to use a simple visual aid.
See the red box? Until then, she would have been enslaved.
See the blue box? Until then, she couldn’t vote.
The yellow box? Until then, she had to attend a segregated school.
And see the green box? Until then she couldn’t have her own bank account.
THIS IS WHY CHANGE IS NECESSARY.

BEIJING — Not enough food. Inedible meals. No training equipment. Some Olympic athletes unlucky enough to test positive for the coronavirus at the Beijing Olympics feel their quarantine conditions are making a bad situation much worse.
“My stomach hurts, I’m very pale and I have huge black circles around my eyes. I want all this to end. I cry every day. I’m very tired,” Russian biathlon competitor Valeria Vasnetsova posted on Instagram from one of Beijing’s so-called quarantine hotels.
Vasnetsova posted a picture Thursday of what she said was “breakfast, lunch and dinner for five days already” — a tray with food including plain pasta, an orange sauce, charred meat on a bone, a few potatoes and no greens.
The rules for athletes who test positive say those without symptoms go to a dedicated hotel for isolation. Anyone who has COVID-19 with symptoms will go to a hospital. In both cases, they’ll be unable to compete until cleared for discharge.
