    Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

    The wheels are starting to come off Team Biden's pro-lockdown agenda:



    The WH’s Covid adviser, @aslavitt46, is asked why Calif., still in lockdown mode, has numbers that aren’t better than a free state, Florida.

    Slavitt: “There’s so much of this virus … that’s just a little beyond our explanation”

      President Joe Biden


      Starting this week, our Administration is:
      - Increasing weekly vaccine shipments to states to 13.5 million doses — a 57% increase from when I took office.
      - Doubling our direct shipments to local pharmacies.
      We’re working hard to get America vaccinated quickly.

          Canada keep taking one blow after another on the chin. Not only has Trudeau's vaccine rollout been a failure of epic proportions, he's blown money like a drunken sailor with nothing to show for it. EPIC FAIL.

              .... misleading interpretation. From the same article:

              “Put more positively, this also implies that no other country has provided as much fiscal support for the economic recovery as Canada has,” NBF economists Warren Lovely, Taylor Schleich and Jocelyn Paquet wrote in a report this week.

              “We’re already seeing some benefits here. The recovery in Canada’s labour market by nearly all measurements has been much stronger than in the U.S., where fiscal uncertainty and inaction has provided a headwind in recent months.”

              The economists noted that Canada entered the pandemic with a lower-than-average government debt burden for a developed country, and “even allowing for this year’s outsized shortfall, the IMF puts Canada’s general government net debt burden at less than 50 per cent — easily the best among G7 nations,” they wrote.

              ... and yes every Canadian and business expects to pay higher taxes when Canada expects to emerge from the pandemic in the 3rd or 4th Q 2021.

                You have proven to be the ministry of propaganda for Justin Trudeau.

                With a straight face you continue to try to convince folks that Trudeau's vaccine rollout has been a success. Everything you promised about Canada's rollout has proven to be false. Shame on you.

                  Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

                  Canada has repeatedly asked Biden to share our supply of vaccine. Thus far the answer is a solid no.





                  Poor countries and global health advocates have been pushing wealthy nations to share some of their supply, warning that the inequitable vaccine rollout could leave them playing catch-up for years

                      Canada the only G7 country to take vaccines from fund that helps developing countries - The Globe and Mail
                      Since February 2020, the Government of Canada has announced that it will commit nearly $1.6 billion to the global response to COVID-19. This includes more than $865 million in funding for the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator to support equitable access to COVID-19 tests, treatments and vaccines.


                      • a contribution of $220 million, announced on September 25, 2020, to support the procurement of vaccine doses for low- and middle-income countries through the Gavi COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC)
                      • a contribution of $120 million in support of the ACT-Accelerator, announced on June 27, 2020
                      • a contribution of $40 million to the Coalition of Epidemic Preparedness Innovation announced on April 5, 2020
                      • a previous initial contribution of up to $31 million to the Gavi COVAX AMC

                      Canada is currently the second-largest financial supporter of the Gavi COVAX AMC, which will enable 92 low- and middle-income countries to access vaccines with the support of official development assistance financing.
                      By joining the COVAX Facility as a self-financing country and by contributing to the Gavi COVAX AMC, Canada is supporting collective efforts to develop safe, effective and accessible COVID-19 vaccines for 189 participating economies across the world.
                      All countries participating in the COVAX Facility, either as self-financing or AMC-eligible countries, will have access to a portfolio of vaccine candidates. Distribution will be equitable and based on available doses among countries that have selected specific vaccine candidates.

                        The Ministry of Propaganda strikes again. Canada took vaccine away from poor countries. Canada is the only G-7 country to do this. There's no shame in Canada's game. Pure desperation. Very sad, bro.

                              The COVAX group accepted $251M from Canada to purchase COVID-19 vaccines. As part of the support agreement, Canada exercised it's right to purchase vaccines that the COVAX group did not have the funds to purchase.

                                The COVAX group accepted $251M from Canada to purchase COVID-19 vaccines. As part of the support agreement, Canada exercised it's right to purchase vaccines that the COVAX group did not have the funds to purchase.

                                Dude, Canada doesn't have any vaccine. Canada has no help to offer. Your country is DESPERATE for vaccine. Y'all tried to shame the USA into giving you a million doses. Sad little country.
