Shout out to the awesome nurses at the Shoppers vaxx clinic on Osborne. I was killing time before my flight yesterday and wandered over from the Forks to get that done. The assholes over here are charging people to get it done, and the nurses at the MB clinic were really happy to see Albertans coming in to get it done. Got the flu and C19 shots at the same time... In and out in 15 mins. So thankful for my home province!

I read that around 5.5 million Canadians had their claims approved so far in 2025. Over 3 million of those claimants have already received dental care. Over 40,000 of those who have received care are Manitobans. I can't speak to 'lining Zelensky's pockets' but I can confidently say our friends and neighbours are benefiting from the CDCP.
