Canadian Anti-Vaxxers? For Real?
The United States is one of just a few countries with large anti-vaxxer rolls. A reader sent me this, but I’m struggling to believe that Canada is also on the list of the unfortunate nations.

Obviously, I have no way of knowing if this actually happened, but let’s set that aside.
I’ve thought about this too.
Here’s someone who has the strength of character required to admit he was wrong about Trump.
One would think someone with even a bit of intelligence would look at this and say to himself, “This doesn’t look like draining the swamp to me. In fact, this looks like he came to town with enough new alligators to make shoes and belts for an entire population.”
Silly me.
