Let’s go back to April of 2020. The world is still very much in the first wave of COVID-19, and governments around the world are scrambling to find some way to get back to normal. On May 6, the Government of Canada announces a deal with CanSino, a Chinese company that was developing what was then one of the world’s most promising vaccine candidates.
The arrangement was that Canada would conduct human trials for the CanSino vaccine and then, once it was approved, we’d manufacture it within our own borders.
But there’s just one problem. When CanSino tried to send Canada its first shipments of the vaccine, it was arbitrarily blocked at the border by Chinese authorities. Why? Probably retaliation for Canada’s arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou for extradition to the United States.
As a result it wasn’t until Aug. 5 that Canada could finally announce a contract with Pfizer and Moderna, makers of the two most widely used vaccines. The Canadian government has weirdly refused to publicize their contracts with these companies, but what’s emerging is that we are definitely not at the front of the line for these shots.
But wait, there’s more. Evidence is continuing to emerge that Ottawa repeatedly turned down domestic offers for vaccine production. PnuVax approached the federal government in mid-2020, promising that they could be cranking 1 million doses out of their Montreal facility by December. The feds ignored them, and decided to instead centre all of Canada’s vaccine production at an under-construction government facility that won’t be completed until next year.
Or there’s Calgary’s Providence Therapeutics, who had a vaccine candidate that was showing early success in mice. They petitioned the federal government for support to bring it to clinical trials, but they got no answer as well (they’ve since struck a deal directly with the Manitoba government).
Ever since this pandemic began, COVID-19 has cost 1,800 Canadian lives per month and at least $500 million per day. We’re so far behind the rest of the developed world that as of right now, it looks like we won’t achieve mass vaccination until SIX months later than everyone in Europe and the United States.
They cured the flu…
Wohoo…
Oh wait a second, they replaced the flu.
Bummer.
Like our Budget will fix itself too?
Looks terrible to me, for us, on nothing really to show for this wasted money.
I think 6 months is being way too optimistic. There’s zero chance of that. It’ll be more like a year.
Look how long it takes to get a .Gov ship in the water and operational…..years and 4 times the estimated cost. I wouldn’t trust .Gov with my last dollar, even less with my well being. Vitamin C & D plus Zn and it doesn’t screw with my cellular makeup, either. SARS was worse and nobody got locked down, or forced to wear a mask. I never met a SARS case and I have yet to meet anyone with the Chinah Flu. Probably never will.
You first
for the mRNA vaccines, the government could have enquired with moderna and pfizer what would be required to get a manufacturing line up and running for those back in January last year, and it could have been build by now, but that would require planning and foresight, of which the liberals have neither.
Same with widespread rapid testing, it was approved on March 20, 2020, less than a month from now it’ll be a year, and still not widely available…
just another day in soviet clustefukastan .
and no info on cbcpravda
“It looks like we won’t achieve mass vaccination until SIX months later than everyone in Europe and the United States.”
But you have universal health insurance so there’s that.
” . . . we won’t achieve mass vaccination until SIX months later than everyone in Europe and the United States. ”
And the results of clinical trials won’t be seen before 2024, assuming we’re ever allowed to see unbiased results at all.
Good luck.
So what? Le Dauphin is just so dreamy. His beard, his long, flowing locks, his girlish lisp.
And…he cares. He really cares.
Oh my, I promised myself I wasn’t going to cry
Trudeau crawled into bed with the Chooks and we got butt fkcued. Why does Canada have anything to do with China? Indian is a democracy that isn’t trying to conquer the world. Why don’t we get all our throwaway crap from them?
And Indian women can be pretty hot too!
Indian people are generally a lot smarter too. China sends their best and brightest here to steal IP from our companies. They haven’t invented anything since gun powder. Mao made a point of killing any citizen with half a brain. Their genetic pool was emptied
This will never end.
China has afforded the morons in the House of Commons an unprecedented opportunity to instill fear in the electorate.
They will NOT let that go.
And they are still polling in majority territory. And O’Fool is still solving “problems” no one else knew he had (read: Sloan & Poilievre demotions).
So what? The virus spread will end when it does what all viruses do… become endemic or herd immunity is reached, not when enough get vaccinated with a vaccine that doesn’t stop the spread.
and Pinko O’Stool will git right on it and hire Kantsella to bad mouth Max , and maybe Pierre Poilievre !
The PMO, the Privy Council and the upper levels of the bureaucracy of Canada are over-full with either mendacious half-wits or pathological traitors.
To give Juthtin credit, he is both.
It’s ok, all this lockdown and economic devastation is having tremendous positive effects dealing with the officially declared Climate Emergency.
When this all started a year ago, my brother and I said, this is the big play. AGW was not moving the Great Reset needle fast enough. Fewer people were paying attention to the climate scam. So poof a worldwide pandemic, complete with emergency health measures and hourly fear updates to cow the populous.
According to the Rockerfellers 2010 book ( can’t remember title) stated how and when the COvid 19 would start and end. Remembering this was 2010, the book claimed a start in 04/01/2020 and the end 03/31/2025. Coincendence?
I’m personally for “Trexit — Take back control!”.
Quibble:
Governments around the world were scambling to get back to normal.
NOT SO. Everyone here can instantly come up with a personal Ten Top Reasons why that is unmitigated bullshit.
It is puzzling that not one of our major news media have picked up on this,

Couple that with the expulsion of the two researchers that were in the Winnipeg lab and you have to come to the conclusion that Canadians are the dumbest people on earth for not demanding the resignation of this government. Oh what am I saying it’s a forgone conclusion that we are the dumbest people on earth because we will continue to vote for imbeciles that promise solve the world’s problems when they can’t even organize a birthday party for an orphan.
Everyone in the country knows Trudeau is a corrupt, lying imbecile, even the people that vote for him. However, as long as he continues to take money from western Canada and deliver it to eastern Canada he will get re-elected. It’s as simple as that.
Should be good enough for a Liberal majority. Canada=bad joke.
I think politicians around the world are pushing the Great Reset because they are very worried about the Grand Reckoning that is coming their way. Guys and gals like Trudeau, Cuomo, Newsom, Whitmer and Pelosi, are already starting to feel the heat and if it were not for the media blocking for them they would all be done by now.
i hang my head in shame for the county that i love
The point that enrages me is that Premier Moe asked for a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility at the U of S ! This would have gave us a facility to manufacture a vaccine! This was of course was ignored by Trudeau!
