I started studying the anti-vaccine movement more than fifteen years ago along with one of my colleagues, Dr. Kacey Ernst. It was clear to us even then that this movement was organized, effective, and growing.
Unfortunately, many of our colleagues at the time felt it wasnβt a problem. 1/2

Alberta's role in Canada's loss of measles elimination status embarrassing, former chief medical officer says | CBC News
The latest federal data shows Alberta accounts for 38 per cent of Canadaβs cases.
βA lot of people worked for a long time to achieve that measles elimination status, and to lose it in one year because of a failure of government action β¦ for a disease thatβs totally preventable, it just makes me sad."

This is because Alberta's UCP is doing a shitty job.

Tax cuts for the wealthy only benefit the rich | LSE Research
Trickle-down economic policies are destined to fail, research suggests. David Hope explains why the issue is so controversial.
Many regular Albertans still believe that if the O&G corps are making money that they will do well financially
This is not true
Gone are the days when O&G needed Albertan workers & paid them well
Automation has stolen those jobs
& the UCP don't care

The Recall Act is bad law made for bad reasons. Now the UCP rues its invention.

Every urbanist needs a close friend who navigates the city in a wheelchair/w mobility challenges & a friend who does city life w small children & a friend who does it living w age-related challenges.

Danielle Smith's power comes from convincing Albertans that they have an enemy in Ottawa
If she didn't distract Albertans with her Ottawa-is-to-blame schtick she'd actually have to fix our problems
