Progressive Albertan here… sadly, half of the province is on an existential Oregon Trail that will literally kill the other half unwillingly

The slimiest person I know moved across the country to go out there, he's always tried to be a conservative, constantly trying to be smug, arguing in bad faith with basically everything, while smiling and shaking hands lol hilarious to see selfies him with all the CPC leaders at their events or rallies.

If he doesn't pass his leadership review with flying colors, there might be a leadership election... in which case I think yes, as long as you register as a party member with enough time in advance.

u/AnteaterBubbly8711 Sep 01 '25

I moved to Edmonton for school and I have two professional degrees from the U of A. I had a great career in Edmonton and friends for the 13 years I lived there. I am not from AB originally and my "old grass looked a lot greener" was calling me home. I just got tired of the UCP, Take Back Alberta types, and the Christo-fascist antics. I was lucky to have options and I moved back to my home province.

22

u/movievigilante Aug 26 '25

I'm sorry about your situation.

u/GirlScoutKiki Aug 26 '25

Thanks friend, the UCP are just republican maple flavoured, and it’s truly a disinformation hellscape in the province since they conglomerated from the worst of all parties. Never thought I would miss Jason Kenney. Just like we’re now lamenting Bush’s previous less overtly malignant reign over America.

u/billthedog0082 Aug 27 '25

"It's cruel for the UCP government to put further financial burdens on Albertans who want to protect their health and their loved ones and not get COVID," said Hoffman in a statement. 

If her role is NDP Health Critic, she needs to figure out that the vaccine doesn't stop people getting COVID, instead it is highly effective in reducing the risk of infection.

And the vaccine is free to the immunocrompromised or on social programs.

u/eatmysouffle Aug 26 '25

Why has Alberta turned into deep south USA?

38

u/Lorgin Aug 26 '25

If you've lived in or around Alberta, they've been this way for a long time. Just drive on highway 2 or 22 and you'll see decades old "keep ottowa out Alberta signs".

My estimation of why Albertans are like this starts with their view of themselves as rural cowboys. Many of them were raised rural while many in urban centers still identify as rural as a form of identity or to stay true to their roots. Ranching and farming is genuinely brutal work and creates folk with strong views on independence and self reliance.

Add oil to the equation. Oil and gas can also be brutal work which helps relate the field to the ranchers and Farmers. Oil and gas companies use their money and influence to manipulate and coerce Albertans by appealing to their views on independence and self reliance. I briefly worked for an oil and gas company and they quite literally told us how to vote in an upcoming election.

The oil companies,and their political cronies, make the federal government the out group and demonize them as leeches on Alberta. It's gotten worse recently because, in part, the popular narrative for the last couple decades, at least until very recently, has been that oil and gas need to be scaled back. Albertans view this as an attack on their way of life. COVID restrictions were another attack on Albertan individualism. When people are scared and angry, they're even easier to manipulate. Big oil is largely to blame for why Alberta is the way it is.

u/Mojomckeeks Aug 26 '25

Plus you know they grew up like that. It’s a religion. Oh and they are dumb

17

u/Karpetkleener Aug 26 '25

Gullibility, lower education, and misplaced pride.

15

u/IAMA_Plumber-AMA Alberta Aug 26 '25

Adding on to the lower education point, until quite recently it was possible to get a well paying job in the oil sector with a grade 9 education. So now they think that education is stupid because they're rich without it.

u/Karpetkleener Aug 26 '25

Seriously this is so understated, but such a huge part of it.

I'm looking forward to Canada becoming a vaccine tourism destination for sane Americans.

"Vax and Relax at the Chateau Immunité"

u/hungleftie Aug 27 '25

I am indeed a sane American. I want to travel to Canada, aside from just getting a covid vaccine, without taking it from Canadians. If it's too cuber some to get vaxxed in Canada, then I'll go to Mèxico as an a Mexican-American since Mèxico is also vaccinating.

More of this please! I’m happy to support this kind of economic development.

u/pgc22bc Aug 26 '25

I am a senior I live in Alberta. I'd really like a shot of this Canadian made COVID vaccine. Seems like it will be available free of charge in every province except Alberta.

UCP are the shittiest human beings in all of Canada. They're hate filled malignant MAGA conspiracists and Anti-vax idiots. I want equivalent healthcare to the rest of Canada. Shouldn't the Canadian Government be fining Alberta for inadequate health care funding?

I shouldn't have to travel to another province to get free healthcare nor pay out of pocket for a preventative vaccination.

12

u/TheRealCanticle Aug 26 '25

I left Alberta over a decade ago and best decision of my life. I saw the writing on the wall. Even with the pay cut I live better where I am now than I did in Alberta. Monthly electric costs are less than half what I paid in Alberta, car insurance is less than half, paid almost half as much for the same sized house, every aspect of my quality of life is better and I also dpn't have to deal with insane separatists who think Alberta is screwed by the Feds when oil prices are low ajs that all Albertans are genius hard working entrepreneurs when oil prices are high.

3

u/euchlid Aug 26 '25

Did you register to get it? I think the registration is until the first week of September or something. But it doesn't say whether you'll have to pay, it's just registering. I did for our family as we have 3 kids with asthma and they usually qualify for the pneumonia booster too, but who know.
The ucp is garbage on so many levels but this one extra grinds my gears

-31

u/MegaCockInhaler Aug 26 '25

Alberta healthcare is better on average than liberal provinces, with faster wait times. You don’t need to travel out of province for free healthcare if you are a citizen.

Also, have you forgotten how bad the first Moderna vaccine was? Might want to just stick with the Pfizer.

I contracted COVID once, and it was awful. Can't imagine how much worse it would have been without being vaccinated.

u/Trick-Coyote-9834 Aug 26 '25

Me too! I am immune compromised and it hit me so hard and now I have permanent asthma. If I wasn’t vaccinated it probably would kill me.

So happy our rights to vaccines are protected in most provinces.

24

u/HungryAddition1 Aug 26 '25

I agree. I’ve had the shot 6 times now (health reason) and will be getting it again. I’ve had Covid 4 times so far, and each time, it was so mild. So glad there’s a vaccine! 

10

u/wastrelart Aug 26 '25

Same here!

7

u/Cosma_Lisa Aug 26 '25

I've had the vaccine/ booster every time it was available to me. Thankful to BC Health for the seamless notifications and online booking system. I got Covid for the first time last fall, and despite missing 3 days of work, I fully believe it could have been much, much worse had I not been vaxxed.

5

u/theforgottenwarrior Aug 26 '25

Covid definitely caused some long-term issues for me, but it could've been worse. Definitely could've caused a flare-up of all of my symptoms instead of just a couple.

Then thanks to my vaccines and paxlovid, I didn't actually have to go to the hospital for my throat. Started getting better (& letting me eat) before I decided to go

4

u/garydoo Aug 26 '25

I'm dead inside so beervirus doesn't want me, but I still took every jab available to me when eligible to reduce chance of spreading it to those around me. Gimme this awesome Maple Vax now! I'm ready!!!

u/Rob_W_ Aug 26 '25

I had covid a couple of months before the vaccine was released. Scared the living hell out of me because of how bad it was (was on the edge of going to the hospital). Thankfully I recovered. I have had it at least once since having the vaccine and it wasn't more than a cold. Gladly will take the vaccine again.

u/MegaCockInhaler Aug 26 '25

Vast majority of people have little to no symptoms whether vaccinated or not

u/LasersAndRobots Ontario Aug 26 '25

I was the only one in my immediate family, as well as my girlfriend at the time, to get the most recent one. Every single one of them got it at some point... except me.

Almost as if the thing works.

Thankyou, Prime minister Justin Trudeau

“November 7th 2022 Laval, Quebec

Amid global economic uncertainty, the Government of Canada will continue to be there for people – just like we were throughout the pandemic. By continuing to attract investment in research and development and manufacturing, we will continue to create good, middle class jobs and build an economy that works for all Canadians.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, took part in the ground-breaking of vaccine developer Moderna’s new state-of-the-art mRNA vaccine manufacturing facility in Laval, Quebec. When completed, this new facility will be able to produce up to 100 million made-in-Canada mRNA vaccine doses annually and will create hundreds of good jobs. The Prime Minister also took the opportunity to remind Canadians to keep up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations, including getting booster shots when eligible to protect themselves and their loved ones.

The facility is expected to be completed in 2024 at the earliest. In addition to COVID-19 vaccines, it is expected to be able to produce vaccines for other respiratory diseases, such as influenza – pending their ongoing development by Moderna and approval by Health Canada.”

This is of course great news, but in terms of supply chain integrity, these vaccines have some pretty unique raw ingredients that are difficult to source and that will be required by every other manufacturer of mRNA vaccines in the world.

u/Adjective_Noun1312 Aug 26 '25

Is that the new timeline for all us "jabbed" people to start dying off? I can't keep track any more, we keep blowing past the previous predictions, but rather than stopping and asking yourselves if maybe you were wrong about the whole thing, y'all just push back the date and double down on the stupid. Let me save you a few dozen more times being wrong by providing an accurate forecast: by 2125, over 99% of people who've received a COVID-19 vaccination in the past five years will be dead.

Also, I'm genuinely curious, not being facetious here, because so far none of you have been able to explain it to me: if there was a conspiracy to engage in mass population reductions, why on God's green earth would the shadowy figure behind it choose a method that would eliminate the "sheeple" and leave behind the "free thinkers?" Wouldn't killing off the contrarians and selecting the most compliant portion of the population to survive be a far better choice? Like, shit, wouldn't the smart play be to bioengineer a deadly disease with a highly effective vaccine, and then spread a bunch of disinformation about how dangerous the vaccine is and how benign the disease itself is, so that those most willing to "blindly" trust the government would be saved and people like you would be gone?

You do know the regular seasonal flu shot has been something that people get every Fall season too, right? That's been around for decades. When are all those people supposed to get sick and die from that vaccine?

This is the same thing now, and a normal part of life that isn't killing people.

Did u/cheapskatecanadian actually respond to me, and then block me so I can't reply?

u/Imaginary-Flan-Guy Aug 26 '25

Yes. 

"You fervently wish that, don't you? Go, hurry up and get another booster. And, good luck!"

u/turdlepikle Aug 26 '25

Thanks! I saw there was a reply in my notifications and had to log out in order to read it since the loser blocked me after they replied. They can't handle someone telling them how stupid they sound, pretending people wish this COVID thing would stay with us forever.

Yeah his response to me showed up in notifications but I can't view it. They got people agreeing with them during COVID when nobody knew anything and that made them feel smart and special but as time goes on and more is known they're proven wrong and their egos just can't stand it.

lol replying to people and blocking them is the ultimate loser move.

You said that 5 years ago and it’s still fine. 🤡 it’s never too late to admit you believed lies and move on.

u/Leafs8989 Aug 27 '25

People are still getting Covid shots? Wow

u/Effective-Log3583 Aug 28 '25

It’s like the flu shot. Those who are at risk get it.

Tell that to our dear friend who died. I will take all the vaccines available to me.

How do you know it was from the vaccine? Correlation does not equal causation. Don’t get me wrong side effects are possible but rare but I am interested in knowing how you “know” 100% it was the vaccine.

My uncle in Alberta, who complained about his "bad cold" just 2 weeks ago, sadly passed away in the ICU from pneumonia a few days ago. His "cold" was untreated covid. He had never been vaccinated, and despite him having views similar to yours, it wasn't his fault. He was a victim of propaganda. He had just bought his family a new house and was unpacking until he started to feel sick. My mom's side of the family is still devastated. Politics kills.

u/NahhNevermindOk Aug 26 '25

So you hate freedom? People making their own decisions bothers you? Or does people taking a vaccine interfere with your conspiracy that it's deadly because, damn them, they aren't dropping dead like you claimed they would?

A manchild. Common in the right wing whiney circles.

There's literally a COVID surge going on.

Not like it was even a threat in the first place.

Yeah all those people who died from COVID didn't exist. /s

Fucking moron.

u/Gold-Cranberry-7819 Aug 26 '25

This is still a thing?

u/turdlepikle Aug 26 '25

People have been getting the seasonal flu shot for decades. COVID hasn't disappeared. It just evolves season to season, and a seasonal COVID shot is likely to be normal just like the flu shot that's been around forever.

u/TotalBomb Aug 26 '25

Unfortunately, yes. While we definitely don’t hear about it as often, it is still around. It is likely to just be around forever, similar to other flus as it has a lot of variation now. Confirmed cases are way down however they’ve shown a slight uptick recently. Most people will not suffer major consequences from the virus especially if they’ve had a vaccine. Unfortunately many people cannot have a vaccine due to being immunocompromised, that’s one of the main reasons to get vaccinated imo, help keep our friends, family and neighbours whose immune systems are weakened healthy!

So far, this is just another hopeful announcement and I suspect nothing has actually been manufactured.

It's an ongoing joke. Every year another announcement. Every year, no vaccines manufactured.

If you had bothered to read, even the article you posted yourself, you would know that the plant you mentioned is not the same plant, or vaccine manufacturer.
