On it!! #ableg #abpoli

Dear Mark Carney, thank you for bringing us together in Canada. It's good to be among trusted partners. This week we strengthen G7 unity. Next week we open a new era in our strategic partnership at our 🇪🇺🇨🇦 Summit. With a major step on security and defence cooperation.

Revenge of the anti-vax continues in Alberta open.substack.com/pub/womenofa...

It’s dangerous also for education workers (including overcrowded university classrooms), children in schools, “captive workers” such as oil sands workers living in camps, anyone who works in close contact with others indoors, and everyone who has contact with these workers which is EVERYONE.

“The decision to force health care workers to pay what may be a significant amount for immunization against this dangerous disease is outrageous and will put thousands of Albertans who have no choice but to seek care in health facilities at risk" www.reddeeradvocate.com/local-news/m...

This measles outbreak could be controlled with public health measures including vaccinations, public education and political leadership.

Bioterrorism is easier in an unvaccinated population. A thought experiment. RFK Jr.’s anti-vax agenda results in undermining vaccines to the point that most can’t afford them. You end up with a daycare where 80% of babies are unvaxxed. A person with measles or polio stops by for a tour.

My latest in @edmontonjournal.com . The Journal of the American Medical Association recently advised Long COVID in kids may have now surpassed asthma as the leading paediatric chronic illness. Danielle Smith's response: start charging for and limiting vaccines. edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

"Instead, expanded cougar hunting was “based on direction from [the] minister last year and input from stakeholders, ... Those stakeholders were limited to members of the Alberta Professional Outfitters Society and the Alberta Tree Hounds Association."

Her reasons have nothing to do with money. It's a smokescreen, She's alwyas been anti-science and an anti-vaxxer.

Alberta’s Queen of Stupid Danielle Smith, who wasted gazillions on defective Turkish painkillers in a vain bid to own the feds, now will ‘save money’ by defunding COVID shots. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

Alberta’s vaccine coverage is collapsing. Measles is surging. Polio could follow. The UCP cut access to COVID vaccines — and public health is paying the price. What is next on the vaccine list ? Lets ask Dani. 🛑 “Prepare to breathe like it’s 1955.”

PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015. THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Dear rest of Canada: Big week for our premier. She quietly increased the cost of drugs for seniors & cut off funding for vaccinations while continuing to fund her war room, the propaganda machine used to counter any oil/gas bad news stories. Send help, please. Love, A normal Albertan

"Let me exercise my role as G7 chair" -- Carney steps in to stop Trump from taking more questions

The G8 became the G7 after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and was suspended from the group. Stephen Harper was the prime minister of Canada in 2014.

The UCP’s cruelty truly knows no end. How is it acceptable that some of our most vulnerable Albertans will have to choose between medicine or food, or rent, or utilities? #ableg #abpoli

You may have missed this because it was announced via a press release at 4:30 p.m. on Friday: The provincial government plans to start making Albertans pay for their COVID-19 vaccines, starting this fall.

'*NEW* Mutliple sources have confirmed this week, that the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton has been forced to shut down 1 of 3 Units. The unit has been closed indefinitely, due to a severe nursing shortage. This is the last thing any cancer patient needs!’ #AbPoli #YEG

As part of our ever expanding Alberta Disadvantage, we’ve already moved to paying for COVID-19 vaccines. Danielle’s trying to pull us out of Canada, one service at a time.

Happy Sunday! The AHS V207 Update is now LIVE on Substack! Free to view, Free to share! Another weekend of closures, diversions, measles & more! open.substack.com/pub/frazzleh...

Can someone just check that Minister LaGrange understands her mandate is “Preventative” not “Preventing” Health Services? In all seriousness, these are backwards decisions all but guaranteed to not only hurt people, but cost us far more than they “save” in healthcare. #ableg

Also, LaGrange is lying about the $110 per vaccine cost. This study, found with a five-second Google search, estimates the Canadian price at $43 Cdn. The study provides a cost-benefit analysis that shows it makes economic sense for govts to pay for vaccines. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

She's systematically killing Albertans.

There is no defense. Those vaccines wouldn't have been wasted if AB Health had done it's job and encouraged Albertans to get vaccinated. This is the worst public health policy ever taken by a province in my lifetime. She needs to be held accountable. Help us please!

RFK’s HHS decisions are being used to justify anti-vaccine policies elsewhere Alberta announces most people will need to pay for Covid vaccines (unheard of in Canada), citing FDA recommendation against routine vaccination in pregnancy or in healthy children www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?...

Athena: If these contracts are signed, that constitutes almost a billion dollars of purchasing that we've done with Sam Mraiche and MH Care and some and in some cases, his partners, and 600 million of it was done without any competitive process. #ableg #UCPCorruption #corruption

Does Danielle know that her government and their vaccine-adverse tendencies are in fact responsible for the lack of uptake of Covid vaccine?

The main trouble with vaccine deniers like Danielle Smith is the dangerous and contagious results of such anti-vax stupidity is immediate. A historic bane of humanity, today evidenced by the anti-vax movement, is that so many people believe only what they want to believe no matter how stupid it is.

Covid💉 won’t be covered for the majority in AB, by Smith’s anti-science UCP. It ⬇️transmission, ⬇️severe outcomes, like 🏥 & ICU admits, & ⬇️death, making it cost effective. A 🏥admit is ~$9220 per patient per day. This is an ideological decision by Smith’s UCP. #abpoli www.cbc.ca/player/play/...
