I surprisingly found something I have that allowed me to get a free vaccine. My friend said all she had to say is "I have a condition on the list" but I think I was asked what I had when booking. The vaccine nurse didn't ask.

I hear you. This list is well hidden, and most people don't know about it

Your husband will be able to get a free COVID vaccine. You and your children might be able to get one if you have any of a lengthy list of conditions p. 4-5. Yes this government sucks.

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.

This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

It’s been ten years since this promise.

Canadians are still waiting for a voting system where every vote truly counts.

It’s time to finish what was started in 2015 and deliver proportional representation.

“Someone” walked away with $70 million from AHS — and the only thing the Premier said is “wasn’t me!”

Judge Wyant's report on the AHS scandal reads like a 'bad spy' novel

It's comically bad, and it's really bad, and so far, no one is accountable, either.

🔴 In the past 48 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported an additional 29 killed (23 of whom were recovered from the rubble) and 21 injured arriving at hospitals.

This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 68,116 and 170,200 injuries (likely 3-5x higher)
