It’s the most conservative province for other reasons. The biggest thing I see where I live is blind tradition, but massive oil sector and agricultural employment also has an impact.
It’s like there is a significant overlap between the people who allow organized religion to dictate their world views and people who believe in anti vax conspiracy theories or something.
We’ve been keeping track of the outbreaks and our government has been providing updates through https://news.gov.mb.ca/news/index.html?item=69301&posted=2025-05-23 (That’s the latest update so far. I would check back there before you come just to keep up to date on things as they progress.)
I was in the impression (read somewhere) that most case are in religious enclaves ?
Well, as long as it’s not ridiculously contagious, we can have a little measles in our religious enclaves.
As a treat
Yes you were. I’m assuming so, anyway, but I thought you may need an answer to your question.
Most of Alberta is a weird self-flagellating bunch of faith-voters, so they essentially qualify.
No, we’re not. It’s the third least Christian province or territory.

Interesting, today I learned.
Oh and that’s one more reason why BC is awesome, it’s the least Christian region!

Christianity also correlates with transphobia.
I know in Manitoba two of the “hotspots” were reportedly from Gretna (pretty religious) and a church in Winkler.
Thanks for the info! Going to Manitoba this summer, hopefully Winnipeg is spared from this haha

Good resource, I’ll keep an eye on it, thank you!
No problem. I also added another resource that lists measles exposures around the province https://www.gov.mb.ca/health/publichealth/diseases/measles-exposures.html
I don’t think measles cares about your religion … I wish it did but it doesn’t
No but the people who don’t believe in science and can’t be bothered to even attempt to keep a virus contained are overwhelmingly religious.
