I'm in Burlington, Ontario, today.

Popped by a neighborhood Shopper's to get my COVID-19 shot.

Administered by an Ontarian. Paid for by the Alberta government.

In Edmonton, the shot would have cost me $100 and I'd have had to wait weeks.

Make this make sense.

Opinion: Yet another emergency for Trump to use to shake Canada down Despite a trade deal being in sight, Donald Trump sees Ontario ad as another excuse to tighten the screws

Candidate who lost by 100 votes to embattled councillor withdraws recount application | CBC News DJ Kelly, who narrowly lost Ward 4 to Coun. Sean Chu in Calgary's election in October, says he has withdrawn his application for a judicial recount of election results.

The big problem with Alberta's "Local Authorities Election Act" is that it doesn't (or at least didn't) allow for recounts where machine counting was in place. That is why my ward was stuck with the worst member of #yyccc.
