So no more catholic schools? Sounds good.

Those aren't public, are they?

Especially with the roving packs of drag queens in there.

There it is, the modern conservative credo.

Well they are publicly funded, and the public can go to them, so...

maybe homophobes are so stuck on the idea that gay people will try force straight kids to be gay because they spent the last 300 years trying to force gay kids to be straight.

And it would essentially have the same effect of 'nada.'

Whooping cough still spreading as southern Alberta outbreak grows

279 cases of pertussis have been identified in region

Pertussis is a bacterial infection that causes severe coughing that can last weeks or months. According to AHS, it can lead to pneumonia and "in rare cases seizures, brain injury and death."

The best protection, Jenne said, is vaccination.

But Alberta Health data shows immunization rates have dropped dramatically in recent years, with 58 per cent of children in the south zone up-to-date on their pertussis vaccine doses by the age of two in 2022, compared to 76 per cent in 2008.
The provincial average, which has also declined, sat at 71 per cent last year.

Diseases like pertussis are actually some of the most infectious diseases we've ever identified. And we need greater than 90 per cent of the community to be vaccinated to have any form of herd immunity, to protect and limit the spread of virus," said Jenne.

Immunization coverage varies widely in southernmost health zone, from a low of 22 per cent in the County of Forty Mile to 79 per cent in West Lethbridge.

"So right now, we know that the vaccine rates are far below that, and it really was a matter of time before we started to see pertussis spreading in the community."

This is what happens when you have a premier that champions stupidity, and a right wing media cheer leading them on.

Parents should be charged with child endangerment and be billed for their cost to the health system. Yay Freedom.

There were a bunch of protesters on the pedestrian bridge just south of the overpass over the Bow yesterday afternoon. Can anyone explain what these people actually want? Can they?

They want attention.

They want people to flip them off and get in their face. Getting repeatedly downvoted on Reddit hasn't been enough confrontation.

To marry their relatives.

I’ve noticed the protestors in downtown and other busier but “slower” traffic areas love standing right on the curb, some leaning just over, practically begging to get hit by a car. I can only imagine they’re stupid enough to believe the car would be at fault in that scenario, or maybe they’re so stupid the thought of being hit by a car while leaning a foot into traffic hadn’t crossed their mind.

[Yamer]

The reality is these have become social clubs for ignorant, grown children that have difficulty fitting in anywhere else.

It would be kind of a sad "aw shucks, good for them" if they weren't such giblet-heads.

The same Islamophobes are now stirring up anti-LGBTQ sentiments in the Muslim community. If and when something bad happens, they'll turn around and blame them. Basically stochastic terrorism.

Not sure those sentiments need to be ‘stirred up’ by outsiders.
