The fact that the new Alberta sequence is identical to six sequences from British Columbia makes me think this could be spreading rapidly. Canada is quicker than the US (and just about all other countries) at uploading sequences, so I would not be surprised to see sequences of this showing up in the US in the next two weeks.
26 all from Canada BC
likely just a clustwer closing it

Evidence Now in two Canadian provinces, British Columbia (6) and Alberta (1). All collection dates within 6 days of one another, from May 5-11. Upload dates all between May 23-28.
S:417T is one of the two most classic cryptic wastewater lineage mutations and is also quite common in conventional chronic-infection sequences, the other being ORF1a:K1795Q. Both also famously in Gamma.
The Alberta sequence also has ORF1a:T319S—a rare C->G nuc mutation—and N:G243C, which likely forms a disulfide bond in the predominant N dimer form.
