A peace officer in Spruce Grove has added his name to the list of people who will refuse mandatory vaccination orders..The city informed it’s staff this week they must prove they are double dosed by November 29..Peace Officer Montana Kasper has informed officials he won’t be following the order and is now waiting for the other shoe to drop. City officials still haven’t informed staff what will happen to those who don’t get vaccinated..“But it says it’s a ‘condition of employment’ so I take it that it could mean losing a job,” said Kasper, a peace officer for two years..“For it to be a mandatory order, I think it violates our rights as protected under the constitution,” he said in an interview with the Western Standard..Kasper noted the letter signed by 3,500 health care workers sent to Alberta Health Services protesting the forced vaccination order and lettters of opposition written by doctors like Calgary’s Eric Payne, and the letter of protest signed by hundreds of City of Calgary workers..Asked what he would do as a peace officer if he was told to arrest someone for not being vaccinated, Kasper replied: “I would probably refuse the order,” noting the “atrocities committed across the country by police that violated the rights of people.”.Kasper said he will now contact a lawyer in preparation for filing a lawsuit if his case gets to that..Dave Naylor is the News Editor of the Western Standard.,dnaylor@westernstandardonline.com,.Twitter.com/nobby7694
