2. the gap in fully vaccinated/2nd doses remains vast in favour of MB
anyways Alberta and Manitoba historically had been pretty close (or Alberta ahead) on vaccinations, then our premier declared COVID over , while Manitoba was mired in a brutal 3rd wave and their vaccinations kept on shooting up. is interesting to see these trends maybe narrowing (and no it is not thanks to the Kenney pennies)

Alberta has many more cities / towns with more people.
Manitoba has Winnipeg, Brandon, Portage, and then some other smaller towns.
Also, if you dig deeper into Manitoba, you'd notice the dense population areas have VERY high vaccination rates, while the Southern Health region has much lower rates, and is actually dragging the overall numbers down.
I haven't checked in a while, but many areas in Winnipeg were almost at 90% both shots a month ago.
Alberta on the other hand has many more 'rural' cities and towns with Brandon & Portage population numbers.
