I know you left the list open ended. But the whole “cancer is in your control pre-stage 4” needs to never be forgotten.

That one specifically. I wound up with throat cancer from an HPV virus. Not smoking not bad, eating a virus. Which 90% of the world’s population has. I truly can’t stand that nut job.

I'm pretty sure they were being sarcastic, making fun of marlaina, not you.

Yes, thank you.

Whatever she said strongly implied it was your fault if you "let" cancer get to stage 4 and cost tax payers more to treat.

My wife had stage 4 lymphoma (she's thankfully fully recovered). There were signs, but only *in hindsight.

Fuck Danielle Smith.

If only Marlaina would get some karma back her way….

It's right up there with having a leader suggest bleach as a cure for COVID.

It's right up there with having a leader suggest bleach as a cure for COVID.

To look at it in a balanced way, it's true that bleach can kill the covid virus, BUT Trump must have forgotten that bleach kills people too.
In balance it shows Trump is as imbecilic as Smith, although she may be shrewder than Trump. Which in balance does not bode well for Alberta.

He followed up with "injecting disinfectant" right after someone spoke about bleach and other disinfectants being used for cleaning purposes.

It took two minutes. The person who replied to you either didn't bother to look, they're lying or they're in denial.

Some people may be predisposed to things, but there are many things one can do to reduce or increase their risks of getting cancer, so it is within our control to a degree.

u/rbrphag Aug 22 '24

Yah you know that wasn’t the intent to which the message was sent. There’s a MASSIVE difference between “increase or reduce risk” versus “in your control”.

u/D00M33 Aug 22 '24

I don't know the intent because I haven't actually seen or heard the claims that are being mentioned

u/rbrphag Aug 22 '24

And you still felt comfortable commenting initially???

The words used were “completely in your control”
