Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

As of today, MB has reported 20 confirmed measles cases
As of April 19, all of Canada has 1177 measles cases (158 of which are probable and not confirmed)
Where are you getting your info from?
The OP's article.
"One in Ontario, Canada, has resulted in 1,243 cases from mid-October through April 29. "
It's literally the 2nd sentence of the 3rd paragraph.
Additionally Canada's Health Minister has updated the total to 1,384 as of today, May7th.
If your own Health Minister being quoted in a Canadian News Source isn't good enough then I guess this conversation is over.
This is strange. I'm trying to find the full stats, however this says as of Nov 9 2024, Canada had a total of 130 cases. Granted this was only 6 provinces, but the 6 most populated.
The spike lately is certainly way more than I was aware of, though everything I could find about MB specifically has 20 total in 2025 so far.
Let me know when you figure it out. I'm happy to revisit.
You may be correct on MB though. I pulled that number from a news article that I can't get into again because I exceeded my daily threshold of free ones. I'll just concede that I'm incorrect on the case count in MB specifically, at least until I can get into the dang article again.
Oh dude, no worries. I was wrong about the totals too. There's way more cases in Canada than I was aware of. It's weirdly difficult to find the specifics. Actually really surprised there's fewer than 1000 in the US overall as well.
