Dani Smith is taking vengeance on Albertans. By ending free, universal vaccine access, she's listening to RFK Jr. over Canadian public health experts (NACI). The price is population health—a moral collapse justified by lies. #AxeTheVaxTax #PublicHealth #ABpoli #ABleg #DanilelleSmith #Cdnpoli

An infographic detailing the "Price of Vengeance" in Alberta, claiming Premier Danielle Smith is using public health policy as political retribution. It shows three main points: 1. Policy Change: Ending universal free vaccine access. 2. Motive (Vengeance): Punishing citizens who followed COVID-19 restrictions by dismantling public health systems. 3. Impact (The Price): Creating a two-tiered health system, increasing out-of-pocket costs for essential vaccines, and undermining population health by restricting access. The graphic is structured with a central headline and three columns outlining these points.

A comparison chart showing that Premier Danielle Smith’s vaccine policies align with US figure RFK Jr., not Canadian public health body NAC-I. RFK Jr. advocates for 'No free vaccines' and 'Payment required,' which match Smith’s new policies (No free shots, costs increased, payment required). NAC-I recommendations are for 'Free universal access' and 'Shots at no cost,' which were the previous Alberta policies. The chart uses red highlights for current Smith/RFK Jr. alignment and green for the former Alberta/NAC-I alignment.

Specifically, Trump dumps shit on No Kings protesters in this AI slop video, while wearing a crown.

But Hillary said "deplorables" once nine years ago, so let's keep talking about that for another couple of decades.

Charlie Kirk's organization Turning Point USA is now selling "memorial merch," because even in the wake of his horrific murder, the grift never ends. Nothing says "modern American conservatism" quite like a company profiting off of grief.

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

RFK Jr. says he met Charlie Kirk in July of 2001 and they quickly became "soul mates."
In 2001, Charlie Kirk was eight years old. 🤡
Soul mate with a child? #cdnpoli

One was beaten unconscious. Others were covered in bruises, struggling to walk or vomiting blood. Another said he’d been sexually assaulted.

These are the stories of 16 former detainees who were deported to El Salvador’s mega prison.
