Patrick Lennox, Former RCMP Intelligence Manager, on Alberta’s election data breach:

That data—the full names, addresses, and phone numbers of almost 3 million voting age Albertans—circulated for at least a month in the Maple MAGAsphere, but has almost certainly been captured by state based authoritarian adversaries including Russia, China, and the United States.

This poses a massive public safety risk and exposes the October 19th referendum process to profound levels of foreign interference from the global far right. Alberta is completely exposed. All of our elections data is in the far right wind.

Have you heard about young people dying suddenly after COVID-19 vaccination?

Our new study in @PLOSMedicine shows there's absolutely nothing to that. If anything, the opposite is true.

Saying the quiet part out loud: “Do your own research” is mostly a farce.

Many physicians are so busy with clinical care and administrative burden that keeping up with the rapidly expanding medical literature is genuinely difficult.
Many physicians also lack formal training in program evaluation, epidemiology, and biostatistics—skills required to rigorously assess study design, bias, confounding, and internal & external validity.

The general public is even less equipped. Without training in scientific methods, most people cannot reliably interpret primary research, assess evidentiary strength, or distinguish high-quality data from noise, hype, or misinformation.
This isn’t a moral failing. It’s a structural reality of modern medicine and science.

Flu is high right now, and this year H3N2 is spreading fast. Most people hospitalized because of the flu are not vaccinated.

Even if the vaccine isn’t a perfect match, it still helps reduce severe illness and hospitalization.

@TheBreakdownAB Why weren’t RSV beds/parameters in place in ANTICIPATION of surge, esp with the gamble of minimizing proven public health prevention measures?

[Lenny&Squiggy 🇨🇦🐈🐈 @lenny_squiggy]

@TheBreakdownAB Public Health should be at presser & whoever’s responsible for the ‘whole’. This is multi sectoral.
⬆️ RSV/flu activity was anticipated-others started campaigns & masking protocols in Oct.
Why didn’t AB?

So sad… and sadly, so predictable. We need a longterm plan to bolster the system - but so far, we’ve just seen it torn apart. https://t.co/idlD6uAbGY

Antivaxers are the biggest threat to humanity, hands down.

More than nukes, volcanos and asteroids combined...

Nothing else will matter when viruses overwhelm our health care apparatus and push us back to Neolithic times.

All because these jackasses won't take a vaccine...

⚠️Measles is out of control in Canada 🇨🇦.

2025:
5,353 measles cases, 7% admitted, 95% under-vaccinated, 2 kids dead.

Truly horrific numbers for a vaccine preventable disease.

Research hailing the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine keeps coming. There's more evidence that the vaccine lowers risk of preterm birth, hospital stays and death.

Please, please get your vaccines.

Good for you. Good for community. Good for healthcare system.

Each year without fail the Canadian healthcare system reacts to the surge of respiratory infections and increase healthcare use with total amnesia. As if it was unpredictable. A total surprise. Take a bad situation and make it worse. Happy holidays from your drowning local ER.

COVID vaccine linked to lower risk of death regardless of the cause, large new study https://t.co/sfvtQjuOcL

Very obviously this is a correlation study. Still, key message: NO big harm signal. On the contrary.

NO "turbo cancer". NO "sudden death." Etc.

@PfParks What a nice announcement—widows, orphans, sick and disabled….
Merry Christmas and hopefully those empathetic groups- ya know those ‘Bible’ types - will take you off our hands once and for all!! 🙌🏼🎄

PROFIT before humanity in Alberta.
