We have a number of posters in the Canada section and elsewhere who do this constantly. They are incapable of participating in a meaningful discussion. As a result, they toss out insults. It is an attention getter and a mark of immaturity.

Some posters have more than one identity here. Because few people pay attention to them, they are compelled to create other identities.

WRT Alberta, or any other jurisdiction, I trust the doctors and scientists there, not the conspiracy theorists and other unqualified individuals who think that the government or the medical community is out to kill everyone.

To those who believe that Alberta Health is lying, I suggest that you contact them directly and call them on their "incorrect information". You can report back here and post their response. I am sure that everyone would like to hear what they say.

I am hopeful that Alberta is on the mend. My SIL is waiting for surgery and COVID has caused delays.
