        Ontario has the higher number of cases, thanks to - checks notes - THREE TIMES THE POPULATION.

        Wait. Ontario has 25% more cases at 3.2x the population. Per capita - the only number that matters - the infection rate is almost 3 times as high in Alberta.

        Mostly unvaccinated chucklefucks.

      I voted against this UCP govt and will continue to do so. It’s the best I can offer.

      But also sorry. This place is terrible.

          Not sure why you got downvoted, this is absolutely correct. Total cases this year is 2,393 in ON and 1,946 in AB, but rates per 100k population are 14.7 and 38.7 respectively

            I got downvoted because the anti-vax mouth breathers don’t like being called out on their shit. Like the other goon who posted a map of COVID vaccination rates trying to defend Alberta’s measles rate. Dunning Kruger champions.

      Saskatchewan currently has the most new cases with 11, followed by B.C. with nine. Ontario declared an end to its large outbreak a little over a month ago, on Oct. 6. Alberta, which also had a large outbreak, currently has seven cases.

      ??? They’re the ones rebounding lol.

      The anti Alberta circlejerk here is hilarious, but it’s just plain stupid when you’re wrong.

        Alberta has had a huge drop in childhood vaccination rates and has more than triple the per capita measles case rates compared to other provinces.

        You can feel free to keep making yourself look like an idiot on the internet, at least you have a safe space to be protected from the consequences of your ignorance.

              Where are our getting your information from? Your own poles used link even shows Ontario is worse…. And yet you still want to pull this? Fucking lmfao.

              They are worse in vaccination rates as well!!

              Why are the the people who are wrong always the loudest?

              You just have bias, and now you’ve laid it out bare for everyone, it’s always especially sweet when you post your own demise….

              Ontario is the leper colony, but I bet you live there don’t you…?

                  You’re talking about vaccination rates, ONT has more or less the same rates across all rates. Which is worse than Alberta. So to call out one, and not the other, just makes you a trolling dickhead. Especially since Ont is worse than AB in most metrics….

                  I know what I posted, you DON’T and just want to whing, and now called out, you of course do… this…

                  Usual troll behavior from a troll, what a shocker.

        The thing you’re quoting talks about current number of cases, but also talks about the large outbreak in Alberta. Maybe you forgot to remove that second sentence?

        Or maybe you think that losing eradication status came from the current count of cases instead of the two outbreaks followed by endemic cases?

        I like how you’re looking at newest stats and suggesting a trend based on it; but ignoring the existing trend. Seems sketchy, but stay the course.

          No trend needed lol, Ontario has always been worse, but let’s not insult the worst ones! Ignoring the field for the horse. Did you seriously need this pointed out? Yes Alberta is getting bad, but Ontario has and always WILL be worse, they’re trending down still as well.

          It’s like getting mad your neighbors grass is dying, while you’ve had a patch of dirt for decades. It just makes you look foolish, pot calling g kettle black. How many examples do you need to make you hypocrisy and massive bias noticed?

    It’s easy to nblame the anti vax morons, but we also have to acknowledge the huge impact the family doctor shortages are having on this too.

    Our healthcare systems have been gutted and this is the result.

      I’m not sure I follow… you think it’s required to have a family doctor in order to get vaccinated?

        That’s a contributing factor, yes

        https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/measles-vaccination-coverage-1.7525234

        In Ontario and New Brunswick, parents and caregivers are required to report student vaccine records to public health to enforce legislation like the Immunization of School Pupils Act. The act requires proof of immunization for students to attend school, with exceptions just for medical or ideological reasons.

        During the height of COVID, Oda said limits on in-person appointments and the diversion of health care resources away from preventative care like immunization created barriers to routine childhood vaccinations. Now, lack of access to primary care providers continues to limit vaccinations even for willing families, she said.

      I don’t disagree that if we had more and more present family doctors this would have been significantly mitigated.

      But it’s primarily the fault of antivax morons. There are populations with fewer family doctors per capita that have higher vaccination rates.

    Canada is such a diverse country today, with so many ethnic groups. Some believe in inoculations, and some do not. Mennonites were mentioned being one, but through all fairness, many other “religions” are not on board and will take their chances. COVID thinking was the same, and, we all know those results. However, for the good health of so many, to the few that oppose is a call I dont have to make. However, when I went to school, there was no question of why or should. It was mandatory. Period!!
