Alberta Faces Worst Measles Outbreak Since 1997 Amidst Calls for Action

Alberta is experiencing its worst measles outbreak in nearly 30 years, with 129 confirmed cases surpassing the previous high of 123 in 2000. This surge, attributed to declining vaccination rates, has prompted alarm among health experts and renewed calls for stronger government messaging. Former Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Mark Joffe described measles as a severe illness with potentially fatal complications, emphasizing the need for increased vaccination. Doctors urge the province to implement widespread immunization clinics and improve public health communication to curb the outbreak’s continued spread.

Facing President Trump’s tariff threats, Canada’s Alberta province, the nation’s largest oil producer, presented two scenarios for North American energy cooperation. One involves a strengthened U.S.-Canada energy partnership, increasing oil exports to the U.S. to bolster its global energy dominance and maintain low consumer prices. Alternatively, continued trade conflict could lead Alberta to diversify its oil exports to Asia and Europe, impacting the deeply integrated North American energy market. This diversification is already underway, with active discussions with several countries outside of the U.S. The choice hinges on the resolution of the ongoing trade dispute.
