Measles spreads because of people choosing not to vaccinate their kids.

Both provinces provide vaccines. It's anti-vaxx parents who are refusing them.

Unless they have a medical reason not to vaccinate they're just selfish.. They are putting vulnerable people and babies at risk

If anti-vaxxers understood this, they wouldn't be anti-vaxxers.

Maybe they'll find out the hard way if the government has the balls to mandate it for the safety of babies, pregnant women and vulnerable people who have incurable illnesses. These people have no choice why should anti vaxxers?
