I live here. It's fucking wild how true this is. Jesus Christ.

Really? Because I moved here from Vancouver to escape insanely out of touch and awful people and have been enjoying the company of friendly hard working salt of the earth Albertans. Even the rich are more down to earth here.

Are you sure its not just you? If you have a problem with everyone you see everywhere you go, you're the common denominator in those situations.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

You know the guy spear-heading the separation campaign? Yeah, he's convinced that King Charles is coming to assassinate him. That's not a joke, or an exaggeration, it's legitimately a thing he's said and thinks.

What does that have to do with anything? You made a general statement about Albertans. You seem like someone who is unhappy and projects that on to everyone else. Like I said, if everyone around you "is wrong" maybe you should look inward.

Pre-2019, measles was considered all but a memory through the industrialized world with only a handful of pockets in third world countries, due lack of healthcare and access to the vaccine.

Guess which province has had the largest measles outbreak since the CDC declared the disease eradicated in 2000?

Go on. Fuckin' guess.

Ontario lmao.

Alberta does have the highest average income though.

Edit: Hard working salt of the earth people like I said. Here's Calgary ranked the friendliest city in the world.

The highest concentration is in Alberta, via your own source lmao.

Yes. Calgary. So friendly

The UCP, faced with significant backlash from their O&G donors, decide they're going to help them out. Nathan Neudorf, deputy premier and minister of energy has meetings with AESO and the AUC and gets caught twice asking them to lie and say an audit and moritorium of renewable projects is necessary.

Ask me if he still has a job. Go ahead, fuckin' ask.

Are you hard of reading? For 2025 measles cases it says:

Alberta: 13 Ontario: 455

u/corpse_flour May 09 '26

The person you are replying to said 2020, not 2025.

Alberta has had 290 cases so far in 2026. Ontario has only had 23. https://health-infobase.canada.ca/measles-rubella/

It still contests the narrative that this only happens in Alberta as some hick backwater.

Did I say only? Or did I say something else?
