This is such an amazing thread! Please read - a vaccine developed to fight breast cancer! A vaccine! Please don’t let obtuse governments stop cancer research!
“ABC11 spoke with Lori Lober, a study participant. Initially, she was given a grim prognosis, with median survival rate of less than 2 to 3% for five years. However, the trial at Duke Health gave her new hope. She has remained disease-free for 24 years.”

Why is Andrew Scheer relevant? Like PP, he's the guy who doesn't know when to leave the party, probably because he's unemployable outside of politics.

If you live in Alberta, you should know that today your government will invoke the notwithstanding clause to wage war against transgender Albertans.
Not because transgender persons are harmful, but because the UCP is distracting you from their mountain of failures.
