Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's CPSA team has initiated efforts to criminalize Ivermectin, with a court hearing set for August 15, 2025. This decision has generated significant backlash from medical professionals, patients, and advocates who assert that Ivermectin may be beneficial in treating various health issues, including cancer.

Reports indicate that a lawyer for Smith's CPSA has submitted a new affidavit containing unverified assertions, intended to persuade an Edmonton judge to issue an injunction that could close the world's largest Ivermectin Cancer Clinic and prohibit the use of Ivermectin for Albertans. This action is perceived as potentially harmful to thousands of Stage 4 cancer patients who depend on Ivermectin for their treatment.

Attorney Catherine Christensen, representing the interests of these patients, has committed to opposing this move to limit access to Ivermectin. She has raised concerns regarding the motives behind Premier Smith's actions, which some believe aim to limit alternative healthcare options.

The ongoing debate over Ivermectin has contributed to declining support for Premier Smith, who has faced scrutiny for her management of issues related to the Cancer Clinic and other controversies. This recent measure is viewed by many as an infringement on Albertans' rights to make informed decisions about their healthcare.

To highlight this issue, the Edmonton Courthouse has invited the public to attend the court hearing on August 15, 2025, at 10 am. A digital display in the court lobby will present details of the case, CPSA v Makis. Although the clinic's founder will not be present, his legal representatives will address the affidavit and critique the government's rationale.

This situation raises concerns not only for Stage 4 cancer patients seeking alternative treatments but also regarding the broader rights of Albertans to pursue various healthcare options. Attending the court hearing allows citizens to observe the government's efforts to criminalize Ivermectin and to hold elected officials accountable.
