    1. First we had bike sharing, than ride sharing now with Trudeau we have PPE sharing with China.

    1. “Mw. Thpeakew, if the Hawpew govewnment had done itth job pwopewly, we wouldn’t have thepent tho muth time bwaming them fow ouw incompetenthe.”

      Prinz Dummkopf, et. al., seem to be unaware of the plaque that Harry Truman had on his Oval Office desk, which read: “The Buck Stops Here.” Then again, Truman was an America, so Canadians are much better than that, aren’t we?

    2. Normally Trudeau would be all over Harper for this. But after five years of a Liberal government most in the media would point out Trudeau has had five years to deal with it. Note that Trudeau promised more money for health care during two election campaigns. Trudeauites now own this one.

      The possible exception is the CBC. I don’t watch it, so I don’t know if they are providing an “it’s all Harper’s fault” message

      1. CBC doesn’t think anything is wrong. They worship the daily Trudeau infomercial. Rosie couldn’t be more proud.

  1. Our stock was piled from the heart out. The stockpile will manage itself. Take a mask leave a mask.

    1. Prinz “Quantum Computing” Dummkopf must have adhered to the principle of what was called Schrödinger’s Cat, a creature which could be both dead and alive at the same time.

      Therefore, the stockpile was simultaneously depleted and replenished.

      My, my, our country’s in good hands, now isn’t it? But better him than Trump, right?

  2. Yet less than 3 weeks ago,everyone of these “leaders” was assuring Canadians that they,the government,were totally prepared for the Pandemic..Trust Us!
    Now no stockpile of PPE??

    1. “I sincerely thank all the Chinese scientists and health workers who have been working around the clock, for their commitment to keeping China and the world safe.” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, secretary-general of the WHO

      “Racism, discrimination and stigmatizing language are unacceptable and very hurtful. These actions create a divide of Us Vs Them. Canada is a country built on the deep-rooted values of respect, diversity and inclusion.” Theresa Tam, Jan. 29

      “…the health risk to Canadians continues to be low. We are taking all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of infection.” Trudeau, Jan. 29

      “As I have always said, the epidemic of fear could be more difficult to control than the epidemic itself.” Theresa Tam, Jan. 29

      “For the general public who have not been to China, the risk is low in Canada.” Theresa Tam, Jan. 29

      “Canada’s risk is much, much lower than that of many countries. It’s going to be rare, but we are expecting cases. It doesn’t matter how few those cases are. We are preparing the whole country in the event that you might pick up a rare case. That actually is what we’re doing right now, preparing. It is going to be rare, but you’re going to have some.” Theresa Tam, Jan. 29

      “As you move further away from that epicentre, any other border measures are much less effective. Data on public health has shown that many of these are actually not effective at all.” Theresa Tam, Feb. 3

      “We have contained the virus. There have been 12 cases to date in Canada. That’s a relatively low number compared to other countries.” Dr. Howard Njoo, Deputy Chief Public Health Officer, Public Health Agency of Canada, Feb. 20

      “There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!” Mohammed Saeed al-Sahar, (Comical Ali, Baghdad Bob) Iraqi Information Minister, 2003

  3. Make no mistake, everyone, after this crisis has dissipated, we’re going to see a HUGE PUSH for more & more government! Such inconvenient facts, such as what Brian has shared, will be swept under the rug.

  4. There was undoubtedly no stockpile of PPE as the government couldn’t figure out how to turn it into another boondoggle favoring a Quebec company.

    If Bombardier made PPE,there would have been a hundred years supply in storage, enough to supply the entire planet.

    1. Maybe Bombardier can awaken from their stupor, stop making business jets for billionaires, and re-tool to start pumping out some masks and ventilators, like GM, Apple, and other real companies.

  5. It’s still blumpfs fault. Also America depends on our pulp from the Nanaimo pulp mill. Seriously that’s what the retards here are saying. This country has the collective intelligence of a gnat.

  6. Are we sure it is not because Trudeau sent it all to foreign nations? so there is none left for us?

    (I have not read the article yet)

    1. CF, that was mentioned in the article, as was Trump’s stopping shipments to Kanukistan

  7. Canuhduh wasn’t the only case of idiocy.

    California had “three 200-bed mobile hospitals.” “massive stockpile of emergency supplies: 50 million N95 respirators, 2,400 portable ventilators and kits to set up 21,000 additional patient beds wherever they were needed.”

    https://revealnews.org/article/california-created-a-massive-medical-reserve-with-acute-care-beds-ventilators-and-n95-masks-and-let-it-collapse/

    The Republican Governor Schwarzenegger spent hundreds of millions to build this system, the next Democrat Governor Brown threw it all away a few years later rather than spend $5.8 million per year to maintain the stockpile. Maybe that is why Newsom is not hitting PDT? He knows the Democrats are guilty?

    Obama did the same. He used up much of the Federal Stockpile, but never refilled it.

    https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/los-angeles-times-and-bloomberg-news-federal-stockpile-of-n95-masks-was-depleted-under-obama-and-never-restocked

    ———-

    Maybe Bombardier should get in the business of masks and hospital PPE? If that is what it takes to keep Canada prepared, it would be cheap even at inflated Liberal Party kickback funding prices.

  8. Because, according to MSM and Liberals, “climate change” is the biggest threat. All resources were spent looking for virgins to throw into volcanoes.

  9. But Trudeau can blame Harper and the media will swallow his gravy and stupid urban quims will lick his balls for doing so.
    Canada wanted the drama queen in charge instead of the honours student or even the captain of the football team and this is what it got – death.
    Fuck it and fuck Canada. A loser land full of cowards.
    Last asshole standing turn out the lights.

  10. @rd
    Great links. Thanks. It’s worth noting that Obama failed to renew the budget for the SNS due to the Tea Party Republicans blocking the expenditures.

    How Tea Party Budget Battles Left the National Emergency Medical Stockpile Unprepared for Coronavirus

    Fiscal restraints imposed by Republicans in Congress in the early years of the Obama administration left the U.S. less prepared to respond to the coronavirus pandemic today.
