I live in New Brunswick and you would swear this is another American state. Lifted pickups with big trump 2024 flags doing burnouts, rcmp here is cozy with the local gangs as long as they get a cut, everyone asking why they haven’t seen you at church.
Time to spin up the get-measles-to-beat-measles grift. $100 for shot of measles will give you measles, but then you’ll have immunity. Probably.
No, wait - $200.
My next door neighbours kids recently had whooping cough a couple of months ago and they posted about it on the towns facebook group (this is where official announcements are posted because the internet IS Facebook to many here). They invited other parents to bring their kids over for playdates so they could catch whooping cough so they could be immune afterwards.
I don’t know how many people actually showed up but there were over 20 likes on the post and several comments expressing interest.
They usually have one trump flag on one side and a “fuck Trudeau” black flag on the other side. Sometimes it’s one of those “no step on snek” flags. Why? A lot of people think Canada is part of America. They watch American news. They testify in court about their first amendment rights. A SIGNIFICANT population of Canadians are MAGA Republican.
I mean I felt helpless during the US election but I feel helpless when I hear stories like this as well. What on Earth am I supposed to do in cases like these?
I wonder if there’s some sort of natural treatment that could give immunity. Like maybe a dead virus or something. No, not a vaccine! Those give people autism!
New Brunswick antivaxers… probably
