Thanks Alberta!
Very proud that Canada has its own leper colony now.
Ontario had the highest number of cases, thanks to the Mennonites.
By far this was led by rural hick Ontario.
Incorrect.
Try per capita instead of total.
Not sure why you got downvoted, this is absolutely correct. Total cases this year is 2,393 in ON and 1,946 in AB, but rates per 100k population are 14.7 and 38.7 respectively
I got downvoted because the anti-vax mouth breathers don't like being called out on their shit. Like the other goon who posted a map of COVID vaccination rates trying to defend Alberta's measles rate. Dunning Kruger champions.
I voted against this UCP govt and will continue to do so. It's the best I can offer.
But also sorry. This place is terrible.
Saskatchewan currently has the most new cases with 11, followed by B.C. with nine. Ontario declared an end to its large outbreak a little over a month ago, on Oct. 6. Alberta, which also had a large outbreak, currently has seven cases.
??? They’re the ones rebounding lol.
The anti Alberta circlejerk here is hilarious, but it’s just plain stupid when you’re wrong.
Alberta has had a huge drop in childhood vaccination rates and has more than triple the per capita measles case rates compared to other provinces.
You can feel free to keep making yourself look like an idiot on the internet, at least you have a safe space to be protected from the consequences of your ignorance.
lol
Ontario is worse!!
So yeah, you’re just choosing to pick one someone you don’t like.
Fucking trolls.
The thing you’re quoting talks about current number of cases, but also talks about the large outbreak in Alberta. Maybe you forgot to remove that second sentence?
Or maybe you think that losing eradication status came from the current count of cases instead of the two outbreaks followed by endemic cases?
Fucking anti science chuds following PP and his ilk.
Thank you Bertans!
Ontario too. Ford Nation is antivax.
Oh yeah... there is no bad idea Ford won't copy
You sure it's not the Mennonites?
You think there's not a lot of overlap on the Venn diagram?
Pretty sure Mennonites don't vote
Confidently incorrect.
It’s easy to nblame the anti vax morons, but we also have to acknowledge the huge impact the family doctor shortages are having on this too.
Our healthcare systems have been gutted and this is the result.
I'm not sure I follow.... you think it's required to have a family doctor in order to get vaccinated?
That’s a contributing factor, yes

In Ontario and New Brunswick, parents and caregivers are required to report student vaccine records to public health to enforce legislation like the Immunization of School Pupils Act. The act requires proof of immunization for students to attend school, with exceptions just for medical or ideological reasons.
During the height of COVID, Oda said limits on in-person appointments and the diversion of health care resources away from preventative care like immunization created barriers to routine childhood vaccinations. Now, lack of access to primary care providers continues to limit vaccinations even for willing families, she said.
Thank you for the info
Sorry, didn’t answer you, not required, but it causes people to not get vaccinated.
I don’t disagree that if we had more and more present family doctors this would have been significantly mitigated.
But it’s primarily the fault of antivax morons. There are populations with fewer family doctors per capita that have higher vaccination rates.
Canada is such a diverse country today, with so many ethnic groups. Some believe in inoculations, and some do not. Mennonites were mentioned being one, but through all fairness, many other "religions" are not on board and will take their chances. COVID thinking was the same, and, we all know those results. However, for the good health of so many, to the few that oppose is a call I dont have to make. However, when I went to school, there was no question of why or should. It was mandatory. Period!!
We did it!!!
Whose eco-friendly now? We're bringing back critically endangered diseases, what have the rest of you brought back from the brink of destruction?
Check out how us smarties down south dropped the ball on screw worm.
Is composting with human bodies Eco-friendly? Asking for a friend.
Depends on the scale.
What's going on Canada?
