Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
Question: Why do Trudeau supporters refuse to tell the truth about Trudeau's failures on the vaccine? We were told that every day without the vaccine meant another life lost. How many have died because of Trudeau's failures?
And now we find ourselves rattled by yet another breakneck twist in the Trudeau joyride: An administration once celebrated as a global model for handling covid-19 now finds itself on the receiving end of growing global pity, as it becomes an example of a nation getting vaccines very wrong indeed.
When it comes to vaccines, however, there is far less ambiguity. In contrast to Britain and Israel, most European Union members, Serbia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Turkey and even the perennial U.S. boogeyman, Canada is not vaccinating at anywhere near world-class levels. According to the Bloomberg vaccine tracker, at the time of writing, Canada is hovering around 38th place in terms of vaccine doses administered per 100 people, having issued just over 1 million shots to a country of more than 37 million.
By now, there has been ample documentation as to why this is, and the roads lead back to specific and flawed decisions made by the Trudeau government at critical moments. An ambitious early deal with Chinese vaccine producer CanSino fell through when the Chinese government vetoed the shipment, likely for political reasons that were hardly impossible to anticipate given the gloomy state of Canada-China relations. The government likewise negotiated slowly and poorly with Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, accepting an excessively pessimistic premise that large quantities of vaccine would neither be ready nor deliverable before April, leaving Ottawa startled when injection season wound up kicking off in December. In what seems destined to be yet another iconic Trudeau moment of halo-slipping, his government has been blasted for dipping into a vaccine stockpile intended for the developing world to supplement the deficient supply it obtained on its own.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus
The province I live in Nova Scotia has been blessed with very low COVID-19 infraction and mortality rates, amongst the lowest in the world.
Nova Scotia Health authorities actually donated it's allotment of vaccines to communities in the far north where the infection risks are much higher amongst a much smaller population. That redistribution has paid off with over 75% vaccination rates in that part of the country.
Now that vaccines are arriving at the rate of 500k doses per week and accelerating I expect my parents who are in their 80s will get their notices to get vaccinated next week.
Healthcare workers have been receiving vaccines for many previous weeks in Canada.
Cross border truckers from the USA are the next tranche of essential workers to get vaccinated.Comment
