"Many of the workers in the plant were recent immigrants to Canada or temporary foreign workers. Some didn’t speak English." Therefore Dreeshen et al thought disposable. DISGUSTING Alberta history. #abpoli
“We cannot fully explain why Alberta OHS abdicated its important responsibilities in response to the largest outbreak of COVID-19 in Canada,” Dr. Tucker and Dr. Foster wrote. “We can say that political pressure, deference to public health (authorities), negligence, and incompetence all contributed to the tragedy. Further evidence suggests that government officials prioritized the interests of the meat-processing industry over the health and safety of meat-packing workers. Whatever the causes, their inaction represents a clear case of industry capture and regulatory failure.”

Day of Protest Oct 3rd, Alberta Leg 10AM to 1 PM #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Poster advertising a “North American Day of Protest Against Data Centres” on Saturday, October 3, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Alberta Provincial Legislature in Edmonton. The poster uses bold black, red and cream typography and an illustration of a large data centre rising above a rural landscape, with its foundations depicted as red, tree-like roots spreading across the land. Text emphasizes land, water, people and communities, and says “Big Tech takes more than power. It takes our tomorrow.” The event promises music, speakers and solidarity.

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
nbcnews.com
America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

A cow looks into the frame against a bright blue sky with clouds and sunshine. A speech bubble reads “I VOTED FOR OPTION 1 TO REMAIN IN CANADA. NO TO THE OTHER NINE QUESTIONS.” Text at the bottom reads “SHE HAS TO BE PUT TO PASTURE.” The graphic uses the cow as a visual political metaphor.
