How we know that splitting up the MMR vaccine could be dangerous
It's no mystery. History tells us that President Trump’s executive order calling for the MMR to be split into separate shots could do real harm.

Lewis reflects authenticity and genuineness. I'm sure there are many that don't agree with him, but it is amazing how many voters will admire a politician that sticks to their beliefs and answer questions free from spin and emptiness.

Lewis, who was elected leader of the federal New Democrats in March, has taken the helm at a critical juncture for the party. By his account, the tour so far has been "thrilling."

Using the notwithstanding clause to strip away human rights is an attack on democracy and must be fought with everything we've got. It started with the SaskParty's Bill-137 and now it's Alberta with Bill-2. This is rising authoritarianism (a la USA) and we need to call it out for what it is.
