Many people in rural Alberta listen to her. They genuinely like her and trust her. She knows that.

This is how you end up with a major disease epidemic.

You really ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Is she trying to sell the far right on vaccines? Because if you compare things to Hitler they might like them more 😅

I lived in the ass end of Alberta people are fucking idiots in AB. So glad I moved out of there. Seriously think of the worst place in AB if it wasn't where I was then it wasn't that bad of a spot spare a handful of names. If anyone knows Alberta well they can probably guess where that is cause it isn't south and only so many roads north.

Edit thought I'd mention there are exceptions, did have a few good employers and all but the random opinion wasn't in acceptance of helping people it seemed and to me we should life all people up to do better as a society. But not every person was a jerk with asshole opinions even in the remote places. To be fair never asked my employers they were just nice to me ... Huh.

I got family in AB... The parents believe the bullshit. But their kids all have lgbqt+ friends and as they get older it's clear they're low key seeing through the bullshit their parents don't.

Hitler and vaccination are very different. What is Danielle thinking ?

That she wants to keep her party together at all costs, including the wingnuts.

Maybe she's anti-vaxx herself as well, I don't know, it's hard to tell.

That woman is batshit crazy and needs to get out of politics ASAP.

The people have an opportunity to remove her every 4 years, more or less. Hopefully enough of them have the good sense to do so. That won't solve the problem of how she got in in the first place.

Yes, she is shit. The only bright spot is that her government feels like it could fall apart at any time.

Yeah I think we have enough textbook examples of that already tho.
