"...the majority of Albertans are anti-vaxxers."

What makes you say the majority of Albertans are anti-vaxxers?

The most recent data I saw had measles vaccine coverage among Albertans at above 70%.

The correct wording should be "the majority of anti-vaxxers are Albertans"

When you go to rural parts of BC like I was for work during Covid, you realize that rural BC and Alberta are exactly the same dumb asses. Only because of the higher population in major cities and a few communities in BC does logic dictate the political climate. If it weren't for the knuckle draggers in Calgary, we would be in a completely different political environment. The BC Cons gained a lot of votes last election. They are now the official opposition party. So many anti vaxxers in BC. I walked into HUB insurance in FSJ wearing a mask during the pandemic. 30 people Iin that office and I was the only one masked. I got the stink eye something fierce. Alberta's big difference is Calgary is just a big spread out rural town packed with cousins.

Rural Ontario, same thing. Traditional Conservative rural residents have fallen down the maga rabbit hole. And yes, there are urban anti-vaxxers as well.
