My 87 year old mother called me to tell me she had an off phone call today from
Save-On-Foods pharmacy. They told her they were offering a $300 vaxx to her age group for FREE. WOOHOO free stuff. I am glad she called me because firstly, she had no idea what they would be vaccinating her for (she is currently sick with some sort of respiratory illness) and secondly wasn’t sure if she already had a shot. I called Save On to see what they were offering (haven’t heard back yet) so I checked online and it’s the RSV shot, something she doesn’t need because she has probably had it and has antibodies and secondly she’s sick so NO. She says “but it’s a good deal, FREE. After all we have been through, after all the illness and deaths she was still thinking about it, unbelievable. I told her if she’s currently sick with RSV and gets a shot it could kill, her a lie I know but what the hell. you never know. She’s not getting the free shot but I’m thinking it’s going to expire soon and they have to get it into arms to have it covered by Heath Canada.

“Alberta is entering the final stretch before the October 19 vote.
Elon Musk’s endorsement of Alberta independence has added another major voice to the debate, while opponents of change continue warning Albertans about economic collapse, lost trade, and uncertainty.
But Alberta already possesses extraordinary advantages: world-class energy reserves, vast agricultural resources, a young skilled workforce, and one of the strongest economies in Canada.
The choice on October 19 is not an independence referendum.
Option 2 creates leverage. It demands a better relationship with Ottawa, stronger democratic representation, greater economic freedom, and meaningful constitutional change.
The coming days will be critical. Advance voting, turnout, conversations with undecided voters, and showing visible support will all matter.
A major rally will be held at the Alberta Legislature on October 17 at 3 PM.
