At 40% vaccination rates, it's gotta be pretty widespread. The problem is a lack of trust in our systems, and it's a direct result of people like Smith spreading their views of freedom and rebelling against all forms of authority. Who would have thought words have consequences? We've allowed our institutions of information(media, primarily) to deceive the population for so long and given legitimacy to politicians that espouse these views that this is the result.
Look, this is just a prime example of what our province looks like with Smith leading it, pushing her Libertarianism ideals. Albertans need to decide if wandering down the path of ignorance in favour of populism is really going to result in robust policy decisions that benefit Albertans, or send them down a path of ignorance.
