If public health officials really want people to wash their hands, they need to be more direct. “Avoid diarrhea. Wash your hands.”

People hate wearing masks. But no one likes diarrhea.

In every way possible we should be moving to make ourselves less reliant on the US.

Again, our governments have nowhere near the urgency on this that they need. Stop thinking things will 'return to normal' after Trump - he is dismantling that country, and it will take a generational rebuild.
Canada, and the whole world, rely on U.S. flu data, which is used to produce effective vaccines

As US data begins to go dark, we will see more vaccine mismatches and worse flu outbreaks

Given Alberta's accelerating embrace of contrarian vaccine nonsense, let's highlight what body of evidence actually says about COVID vaccines:

- Saved millions
- < healthcare costs

- > pregnancy outcomes
- < risk of stroke
