Regaining our elimination status will require more than angrily shaking our fists at those who we have deemed "anti-vaxers." The reality is much more complicated, and much of it is based in rebuilding Canadian health care.

Childhood vaccinations have declined since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. But what also happened in 2020 was irreparable damage to our public health system that has never recovered. How many of you are currently without a family doctor?

Canada has lost its measles elimination status today. Undoubtedly, part of this is because of misinformation. But it does not explain the whole story here, and simply attributing this public heath failure to misinformation absolves those in power of their contributing role.

My husband and I were at a busy mall yesterday wearing our N95s, and we saw only one other person wearing a N95). I was going to hug him but restrained myself (I embarrass my husband enough). Please consider masking with N95s along with getting vaccinated. I promise I won’t hug you either.

Excuse my language, but fucking anti vaxxers who have no compassion or empathy for others caused this. Listen to Science not the keyboard warriors who think they know more than doctors. #Canada has lost its measles elimination status after more than 25 years halifax.citynews.ca/2025/11/10/c...

Canada has lost its measles elimination status...a sad milestone. Now is the time to double down on lowering barriers to routine childhood immunizations and ensuring Canadians have access to credible, science-based information. Link: tinyurl.com/c8nfxvk3

Alberta, watch what America is doing right now - with their refusal to support funding of the Affordable Care Act. If Danielle Smith has her way with the medical system, we, too, will be facing $1000s in monthly premiums just to visit doctors. She wants it that way. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Alberta’s three branches of government, according to Danielle Smith: 👑 Me 👑 Myself 👑 And my Cabinet #DanielleSmith #operationtotalrecall #abpoli #ableg #Alberta #FireTheUCP #UCPCorruption #FireSmith #UCPMustGoNow #Canada

This week on ‘Whatever This Is’ we unpack why Danielle Smith is running Alberta like a cosplay authoritarian because she’s too weak to govern like a Premier. We break down her fake “strongman” act, her panic over recall laws, and what Albertans can do to push back. Follow for more #abpoli #ableg

🚨 Alberta is Recalling. UCP MLA Angela Pitt facing recall campaign in Airdrie-East 👀 Also: Look who’s running in the UCP AGM board elections. daveberta.substack.com/p/alberta-is...

The entirety of the elected UCP are unfit to lead, serve or hold government office in any form. #RecallThemAll 🇨🇦

So brilliant!

The vast majority of Canadians agree that the COVID-19 vaccine should be free — except Conservatives: 🔴 LPC: 90% 🟠 NDP: 91% ⚜️ BQ: 79% 🔵 CPC: 44%

Just fuck off Danielle Smith, you and the UCP is the least democratic party in Canada.. Violating constitutional rights.. Book bans.. Overriding duly elected municipal officials.. Attacking Trans, LGBQT+ communities.. Catering to right-wing Christian radicals.. So FUCK OFF with your rhetoric...

The B.C. Teachers Federation is donating $1 million to support the ATA! The suppression of charter rights is a huge deal and should only ever be used as a last resort. Shame the… (Checks notes) premier of Alberta doesn’t get that. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I know some people in Vancouver that would love this LOL 😂 ;)

#Canada could face ‘worst kind’ of flu season as experts warn evolving strain may be mismatch for vaccine Alarm bells abroad, spread of a new form of H3N2 provide warnings as influenza cases start ticking up /1 thread www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

“In terms of the number of cases, last year was probably the worst influenza season Canada had had in a decade, and it seems like that could occur again this year in terms of severity of disease.” www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

All those people who think they can dodge the effects of the climate crisis because they live in a nice developed country are about to get punched in the face. It’s coming in hard everywhere.

“EMS in Alberta now relies on exhausted professionals who are routinely working long stretches, sometimes mandatory and without rest, to give everything they can without the support they need,” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...

Alberta’s premier is firing back at teachers and their lawsuit by saying it’s ‘not democracy’ to have the courts review Bill 2. As Sean Amato reports, the Alberta Teachers’ Association says it’s one of the only rights they have left. edmonton.citynews.ca/video/2025/1... #Alberta #abpoli

RURAL ED CLOSURES - REAL AB Case #4 A male in his 20s with severe asthma, very short of breath and having trouble breathing. Presents in distress to his local ED - but it is closed, and he didn't know. He calls 911 for help, and there are no ambulances available to respond... 1/5

UCP is KILLING us.

I simply cannot imagine how this charmer is struggling to keep his party together & win over the Canadian people. 🤷‍♀️🍏

More distractions for an under democratic government embattled in scandals. License plates didn’t do it, maybe speed limits will distract the unhappy populous? This in a province that outlaws photo radar. Stupid? Dangerous? Both! #ABpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

calgaryherald.com/op... Everybody should read this. The PREMEPTIVE use of the NWC is not what it was designed for, and it will have negative ramifications on ALL ABs/Canadians. You can be in favour of getting kids back to school, but this isn't the way...

ATA President Schilling's response should give everyone pause. #ableg #abpoli

Please take a moment to appreciate this very, very small water sausage!

Organized religion is a cancer but there are plenty of men who dgaf about religion and are rapists so...

Smith will chair yet another task force. No topic is beyond her reach and expertise. No minister is worth her trust.

Condo owners in City-Centre are having to pay tens of thousands of $ for repairs & security due to social disorder. That’s not the fault of police or the city - it’s on the UCP. If, as they claim, they’re doing all the right things already, why does this problem keep getting worse? #ableg

The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough. 25/47

Conservative MPs, just like Poilievre, have done NOTHING to improve the life of their constituents. In fact, their leader has no solution because he has no plan. He's an opportunist who, like Trump, uses hatred and disinformation to convince ignorant people that blaming is better than helping.
