This is the part of Canada that aligns with american usa policies, for the most part. As a Canadian I'm embarrassed. As a human being the useless deaths piss me off but human life is cheap nowadays I guess.
We need to deal with the people behind this shit.
Smith and Parker need to be charged criminally. They should be in jail right now.
Smith is a horrible person, Moe is not far behind.
This is right off Gov.ca inerwebsight
Statistics is a complex thing, the number of people maybe smaller but the the per capita is considerably higher.
There are more cases in ON than AB
If you break it down on a per capita basis, there is a higher concentration of cases in AB due to their significantly lower population than ON.
If a kid gets measles and his parents haven't vaccinated, they should held liable.
Anyone have a link to a data piece that highlights demographic info about the infected population?
I'm curious to see if the low vaccination rate / infection rates are primarily amongst an unvaccinated religious group, recent immigrants (who may've come from countries with lower vaccination rates), etc. With our population growth being entirely driven through immigration -- like even with the scale back lately, it's still 92% of our population growth -- source countries/cultures may matter.
Canada usually has absurd amounts of demographic info easily available, but my little bit of googling turned up nothing on this one, other than articles saying there's no data...
It is more because of Alberta.
Ontario has lower vac rates and is leading the charge, but let’s insult the people with dying grass instead of the ones with the dead yard I guess.
Only because Ontario is bigger; but don't worry, Ford can suck just as much as Smith, they are both awful and, if we lived in a just society, they would both be in jail by now.

Worst by far in North America
Talbot placed Alberta’s shocking measles numbers in perspective. They are the worst in Canada and North America. Even by global standards they are appallingly poor. “We’re at around 200 cases per million population,” he said.
Ontario’s total number of cases, 2,223, is higher than Alberta’s. But Canada’s largest province “has been battling measles longer and has a bigger population of about 137 per million,” said Talbot. “So we are by far the second worst in terms of total numbers in the country and the worst in terms of rate per million.”
The tyhee LOL Doesn't Talbot have some bone to pick with Smith? I was going to look but not going down that rabbit hole.. I just read that article and there was no proof for any of those accusations. I thought there would be some tabular data for those numbers but nope. Just pulled out of the air, all the links in there just go to CBC and other propaganda. Also lots of excuses of WHY ON is higher like they have been "Fighting Measles Longer" 🤣 good one Talbot. I guess they aren't doing a very good job if the numbers are rising.... gotta Get those VAX NUMBERS UP Dougie. When it comes to a disease like this Per Capita don't mean shit it is the NUMBER OF CASES, you want that down to ZERO.
I was going to look but not going down that rabbit hole..
yeap, putting your head in the sand is a common strategy for people like you
Like posting a whole article with no source for any of the Shit that is posted in it because that's all it is. I mean where is this wing nut getting these numbers from? And what benefit would it have for me to look up that info at this time. Other than to prove that she has a bone to pick because Smith did she fire her?
