AK SJR21

Urges Canadian government to allow U.S. citizens, including truck drivers, to pass through Canada without discrimination regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status for delivery of goods.

Cites Alaska's dependence on Canadian routes for travel and goods transport, and warns that vaccine mandates will disrupt supply chains and increase food insecurity across Alaska, other U.S. states, and Canadian provinces.

Claims COVID-19 vaccine mandates will reduce the number of employed truck drivers during an existing shortage, causing severe interruption to the flow of food, medical supplies, and other critical items.

Argues that constitutional religious liberties must be honored and that individuals may decline vaccination for religious reasons; asserts that natural immunity from COVID-19 recovery should be recognized as superior.

References a 1942 agreement between Canada and the United States regarding the Alaska Highway, which stipulated that no discriminatory conditions be imposed on the use of the road between Canadian and U.S. traffic.
