Are you confusing Alberta and Saskatchewan? Alberta and our Quebec are tied. And anyway the entire range is small, only between 100 to 250 per 100k, not a huge difference anywhere.
And anyway, none of it is surprising. Lots of people don’t like being forced to do things. We pretty much forced everyone to inject chemicals into their bodies during the pandemic. That many have rebelled against that is basic human psychology.
(And for those with reading comprehension difficulties, I personally took and take vaccines, I’m speaking not of my own personal opinions.)

You’re right about Saskatchewan.

Fun fact: A decent percentage of these infections are acquired *while in the hospital*. Meaning, you go to the hospital for one problem, get infected with Covid/Flu/RSV, and then end up being re-hospitalized for that. Why? Because public health refuses to adopt the science of airborne transmission and implement clean air policies in their facilities.
P.S. I am writing this while enjoying a delicious cup of hot chemicals. Miam!

I wrote “you go to the hospital” but in most cases it’s really “you bring your clinically vulnerable infant or elderly family member”. I find it absolutely shameful that every tool isn’t used to protect them, but it’s not unprecedented for the medical community to resist new knowledge and practices. The story of Ignaz Semmelweis and handwashing is telling.
