On April 12, Jason Kenney took to Twitter to condemn residents who protested following the enhancement of Alberta's COVID-19 public health measures. 

He wrote that "a protestor was arrested for shouting racial insults at a First Nations woman on Enoch Reserve," continuing to say that "dozens of protestors also trespassed on reserve land, & Chief Morin’s car was vandalized."

He claimed protestors in Edmonton were allegedly calling for Dr. Hinshaw to be "locked up" and chanting "just say no" to COVID-19 vaccines. 

"I condemn these actions and statements," said Kenney. "It is increasingly clear that many involved in these protests are unhinged conspiracy theorists."

He concluded his Twitter thread by calling on the people responsible for the events to stop the threats and lawbreaking.
