COVID-19 Controversy
Travel Scandal
In December 2020, Allard took a family vacation to Hawaii despite federal and provincial government advice to avoid non-essential travel and the border between Canada and the United States being closed.[8] Premier Jason Kenney originally defended Allard stating that such travel was important to protect the travel industry, including Calgary-based Westjet.[9] On January 4, 2021, Allard resigned as Minister of Municipal Affairs over the matter.[10]
Vaccination Campaign
In September 2021, Allard sent a newsletter to her constituents that encouraged the government to support "natural immunity" which was criticized by the opposition Alberta New Democratic Party.[11]
