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.

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.
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?
