Alberta has now confirmed more measles cases than the entire United States has reported this year.
The province has been battling outbreaks since March and as of noon Monday, total case counts in the province had ballooned to 1,314. The latest update from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that country has amassed 1,288 cases this year.
It is widely believed by experts and health officials that Alberta’s case counts are higher than the confirmed numbers reflect. A standing exposure advisory remains in effect for the entire south zone and parts of the north due to widespread transmission.
Alberta is the most conservative and most religious province in Canada. The Prime Minister of Alberta is a woman named Danielle Smith.

Alberta is super-rich because they have a ton of oil. But it’s badly managed. And incompetent politicians blame a lot of their local problems on Canada.
It’s just sad.
It’s actually the second least religious, after British Colombia.
