  1. Why, yes, yes, it did. And budgets will balance themselves as always. Nothing to see here. Move along.

    Lying here in the darkness
    You hear the sirens wail
    Somebody going to emergency
    Somebody’s going to jail
    If you find somebody to love in this world
    You better hang on tooth and nail
    The wolf is always at the door

    Thanks, Don Henley, for that New York Minute.

  2. Of course they wasted the money, they are desperate to get our children on the clot shot, for life- and think of the trillions big pharma can divert to political parties via lobbyist.

    1. A paragraph from the article:
      “What did all that cash buy us? As of mid-October, 2021, an impressive 57 million doses found their way into Canadian arms. That translates to around $96.50 for each dose. By all measures that’s a lot of money. Nevertheless, most of us would agree the goal was worthy.”

      I stopped reading after that last sentence.

  3. Did Canada Waste $440 Million out of Its COVID Vaccination Investment?

    First off, “investments” are intended to make money. Capital is directed toward coordinated activities which are intended to produce revenue which is greater than all required expenditures. The difference of revenue less expenditure, if positive, is the goal of all investments, and is always measured in dollars. Governments do not, and cannot, “invest”. They have no cost of capital, because everything they have has been stolen from producers, they have no market-priced production/delivery costs, they have no “voluntary” paying customers, and their activities reap no returns measured in dollars. There is no investment. The constant and deliberate misuse of this very specific business/economics term is disgusting, and obviously intended to deceive the dim-witted.

    Secondly, the use of the word “waste” is questionable. All governments steal and distribute. They steal from less-favoured and/or less powerful groups and distribute the stolen proceeds to those they favour. If one stops thinking of government as their “friend”, or “servant”, (which is a puerile and dangerous atrocity of thought), and begin to understand that governments are wholesale looting operations by thugs with clean fingernails, one will start to realize that governments “waste” nothing. The money was stolen and the money was given away as intended, for the benefit of those in the government, or it patrons/masters. Governments are mafiosi without the sense of integrity or code of honour.

    1. I put it slightly differently: investments have a return and a risk, and both are quantifiable.
      So please, teacher’s union (ferinstance), tell me how dumping more money into your salary bucket every year satisfies either of those points.

    2. Well, I’ll be damned.

      I was wondering if any police force or union was going to come out and say “Enough of this authoritarian shit.” Good for them (although there’s probably not many of them).

  10. As Milton Friedman quoted : If you put government in charge of the Sahara desert, in 5 years they would run out of sand.

    1. Yeah, we’re going to be living with the consequences of governments’ actions on this file until my nieces and nephews are in long-term care facilities (or as we’ll probably be calling them by then, “Soylent Green re-processing stations”).

      1. The ‘Great Reset’ is crashing the US Dollar from is Currency Status of Reserve Currency…
        As you can tell, it’ll take all investment with it as it’s currently valued in US dollars worldwide.
        Holding dollars would be equivalent to toilet paper as it’s valueless in the world markets.
        Western Nations too would be decimated as we have no reserves.
        Could happen anytime when you see US dollars in gold suddenly explode higher as the US no longer has Status.

        1. Western Nations too would be decimated as we have no reserves

          So you’re telling me, Jojo, that Fort Knox and the NY Fed Reserve Bank does NOT have all those tons of gold they’ve claimed to possess since WWII?

          Holding dollars would be equivalent to toilet paper

          Slim Pickens/Colonel Kong would be yip-yip-yahooing on his magic carpet ride of destiny loooong before THAT would ever be allowed to happen.

  12. Depends on what return they were hoping to get, I suppose.

    Was it to beat the virus or secure public health or however they put it? I don’t know how much they spent but it was all a waste if that was what they were hoping for.

    If it was an investment to gain total control of the population though…

  14. All the money spent on the not-vaccines was wasted. they are killing people don’t ya know.
