Such a huge loss
This is an unbelievable loss to Alberta. Dr. Markland was a powerful voice of compassion and integrity and he was loved and respected by so many.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends. 💔

If this is what the drug companies are charging, why is the Alberta Government going to make people pay ~$100 per dose?
“Moderna and Pfizer were charging more affluent nations and the EU for their mRNA vaccines with prices ranging from $14.70 to $23.50 a dose.”

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell.

The person destroying vaccines, clean water, pasteurization, and almost all public health accomplishment in the last century wants you to know it's your fault if you are unhealthy.
RFK Jr: "This administration wants to encourage Americans to take control of their health -- to eat right, to have lifestyle changes that save us all. And that's the patriotic thing to do, not only for our country but for every individual American. It's a patriotic duty to keep ourselves healthy."

What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research.
Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out.

A leaked email from Senior ADM Leann Wagner reveals that the UCP instructed employees to direct any inquiries from the Auditor General to a lawyer, aiming to control responses.
