Canada is once again known internationally as a country with measles. I am heartbroken and scared for all of my friends who are going to be having kids in the next couple months because of the horrible and very real risk their infants now face.

Alberta as we know it today simply would not exist without the millions of immigrants and refugees who built it, who loved it, and who were proud to call it home - including my grandparents and my mum. This bitter xenophobia is as unAlbertan as it’s possible to be. I’m ashamed. I’m disgusted.

So great to read about the research being done by my fellow @wchriuofa.bsky.social members in the 2024-2025 annual report, Lighting the Way! #WCHRIAR2025

So very proud! Children’s pain matters.
