The unwritten conclusion of that scathing auditor general’s report into how the Public Health Agency botched early pandemic detection is obvious: Replace Dr. Theresa Tam. […]
Consider the shortcomings list identified by the Auditor General, a list of wrongs which is a lot longer than what they did right.
Under Tam’s leadership, the agency failed to update its emergency management plan in 2018 as scheduled or review its pandemic preparedness in 2019 as required.
It fell short of effective data sharing, didn’t upgrade surveillance standards, had challenges with quarantine tracking and lacked the right technology to do the job properly.
And, as mentioned earlier as the most egregious flaw, Tam neglected “forward looking assessments” of what it would mean if the pandemic took root in Canada, opting instead for daily snapshots using a pilot program not approved for pandemic detection and analysis.
Well, that was clearly racist.
Typical for how this trainwreck’s been handled: wait until the horse has bolted before closing the barn door.
Martin is skating on thin ice here. Sadly I couldn’t access the link (it’s me, not you) to get the full story. That said – he’s a media type so he’ll get a pass.
It’s not nice I know…but it’s hard to take anyone seriously who looks like she could be Gilbert Gottfried’s sister.
Why is he skating on thin ice?He dares tell the truth?
Precisely. That and the fact Tam is Asian…and we all know how that’ll end.
Next Governor General?
Heh. Failing that…Order of Canada medal.
… And she is incompetent. And incomprehensible to boot.
She?
Nope. Dr. Theresa Tran(ny)
I think she is Dr. Ho in a wig.

Thanks Don,

Did Dr. Tam used to be a man?
@Scott Chinsota
Yes…and I thought I was the last to know. They’ve worked really hard to scrub the web clean.
Still is.
If Tam believed the world to be overpopulated by humans, believed that to be an emergency, and believed it was her duty to solve the problem; would Tam have done anything differently?
Looks the same as Malthusian zealots designing “self driving” cars to me.
I’ve heard NPCs say this is all Harper’s fault for cutting back on spending. 5 years the libtards have been in charge. FIVE YEARS
I wouldn’t say Icke is laughing now but he could be forgiven for feeling vindicated.
His thoughts on what the elites think of the elderly was dead on.
And in 2009 no less. But don’t forget folks, he’s batshit crazy.
“Pathetic unquestioning media” was a nice touch as well.

Color me surprised. Martin is usually propping up the Libs.
Good time to post this again.
Lt Col David Redman claims a *pandemic response* plan was already in place with Emergency Measures Acts.
He and a colleague were ready to provide advice early in the fearmomgering.
He is very critical of Canadian and worldwide response.
Again…plenty of data:

Redman misrepresents himself. It should be David Redman LCol (retired).
That was my error…I will use that format in the future.
Thanks.

IMO the attempt to place much of the blame on Tam is correct. But, it also serves to deflect from the political errors that were made and gives cover to the PM, PMO, Health Minister etc.
Political Failures
1) Canada failed to partner with the US in the fast-tracking and delivery of vaccines – Operation Warp Speed.
2) Canada wrongly fast-tracked with the Chinese Communist Party to develop, test and deliver vaccines.
3) Canada failed to close its airports in a timely manner to travellers from areas where the virus was known to have spread.
4) Canada’s approach to locking down businesses was arbitrary and totally discriminated against small business.
Canada’s political leadership, PM, PMO, Health Minister etc. failed on every major issue to do with the pandemic.
They were Just In
Trudeaucompetent.The senior bureaucrats failed miserably but what they may not entirely understand is that the politicians are setting them up to throw them under the bus. That’s why Ford and Kenney keep trotting out the public health faces, so that they can blame their advice when the voters finally have had enough.
What more can be added to your post other than had this been a normal country, people would have been fired.
This is Canada and just like China it can cull its citizens whenever the fuck it wants.
Criminal negligence only applies to the private sector.
When is the last time you ever heard of a politician being put in jail? A bureaucrat who wasn’t a spy?
Juthtin Weirdeau and Teresa Man should both be behind bars and add about 2 dump trucks worth of Health Canada fuckholes just for a start.
The only thing Dr Tam has succeeded at is killing the economy.
Taking bets that they all will get their regular pay raise PLUS a bonus for doing a great job. Meanwhile the rest of us are trying to just meet our day to day expenses
“Tam is Canada’s designated canary in the COVID coal mine — and she barely peeped at governments to act until the virus had already danced through the doorstep into long-term care centres and beyond.”
The canary in the coal mine doesn’t peep in alarm. It just keels over.
Since she served the interests of China and WHO so well, she will receive her reward in the form of a senior appointment at the WHO headquarters in Geneva where she will receive a large, tax-free salary and subsidized executive housing.
If the government stenographers of the taxpayer paid media would actually report..Just the public statements,in chronological order made by “Public Health Canada”,put together on the same page,will show how incompetent these “Government Experts” truly are.
The cross talking,back flips and self contradictions are mind boggling..But “Trust us” and “Respect muh authority”..
Of course if any of these Presstitutes actually did so,they would get cut off of their frenzied feeding at the public trough.
“Integrity” We must have experienced the last 13 months differently.
Tam is a communist plant giving orders to turdo who is the chicom lap dog doing as he is told…..
What I’d really like to know is what did he do with his weenie.
If Tam were a white man, she’d have been fired by now.
