When Canada Lowers the Bar, Part Deux

It just occurred to the moral degenerates in Ottawa that, maybe, Canadian-made testing kits and masks might be a good idea.

Maybe:

Canada’s innovation minister says that the country is moving quickly to increase production of personal protective equipment (PPE) in its fight against the novel coronavirus.

“We are mobilizing industry at an unprecedented rate to scale up operations, to retool,” Navdeep Bains, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, told Global News’ Mike Le Couteur on The West Block.

Why wasn't this done in 2003?

How many masks were shipped to China?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced that companies across the country are now producing medical supplies, including hundreds of ventilators, as part of Canada’s battle to increase desperately needed equipment in the fight against COVID-19.

Since the federal government announced its strategy to tap into the private sector to produce medical supplies, Trudeau said close to 3,000 Canadian companies have reached out to offer their expertise and capacity to meet the country’s need for personal protective equipment (PPE).

And this wasn't done before because ...?




Meanwhile, adults under forty years of age constitute ten percent of hospitalisation cases. The death toll (as of this writing) stands at ninety-five deaths.


Australia, on the other hand, has been handling things quite well, even treatment:

Australia reported a sustained fall in the rate of new coronavirus infections on Tuesday, but officials urged people not to become complacent and stressed the need for further strict social distancing policies.

**
One of the two medications is a HIV drug, which has been superseded by “newer generation” HIV drugs, and the other is an anti-malaria drug called chloroquine which is rarely used and “kept on the shelf now” due to resistance to malaria.




Half of Canadians are on the brink of insolvency:

The MNP Consumer Debt Index, released Monday, found that about half of Canadians (49%) surveyed are now on the brink of insolvency, saying they are $200 or less away from not being able to meet their debt obligations each month. A quarter of these said they are already unable to meet those obligations.

But they still know what their priorities are:

Most Canadians are doing what they’re told to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and would support harsher measures to punish those who aren’t, a new poll suggests.

Your government has done for more damage than the average idiot licking door knobs, you tool of the Crown.


Speaking of priorities:

Canada’s spy agency is moving quietly ahead with plans to collect and use databases containing personal information about Canadians, newly released documents show.

Collect this:

**
The federal government says it will help broadcasters deal with the fallout from COVID-19 by waiving $30 million usually paid by the industry to support the operations of Canada’s telecommunications regulator.

As a result, the government will provide funding to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission so it won’t request payment for Part I licence fees for the 2020-21 fiscal year.

Because the propaganda must go on!

Finance Minister Bill Morneau and several other MPs took steps to protect their health after learning that a UN official they had all met in Ottawa in mid-March had tested positive for COVID-19.

This UN:
The COVID-19 pandemic ended the secret handshakes and deal-making in the world’s power corridors, but Canada’s campaign for a temporary seat on the United Nations Security Council is full steam ahead.

Foreign Affairs Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne and International Development Minister Karina Gould confirmed the continuing campaigning in separate interviews with The Canadian Press this past week.

They say Canada’s voice on the world’s most powerful decision-making body is needed more than ever because of the big decisions that lie ahead in managing the pandemic and its aftermath.

You self-important, delusional, lying sacks of sh--.

Some Manitoba First Nations are asking for military help to prepare for the coronavirus pandemic.
Global News has confirmed a report first published by CBC News on Tuesday morning that two First Nations communities in Manitoba — the Cross Lake Band of Indians and Norway House Cree Nation — sent their requests to Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan in the form of a letter.

“Under normal circumstances, the 15,000 plus members between the two communities are hard-pressed to receive adequate health care services,” said the joint letter signed by community chiefs David Monias and Larson Anderson that calls for a military hospital to be established within their territories.

“The military medical infrastructure can make a big difference in addressing our service gaps on health service such as testing, quarantining, and housing or medivacing First Nation people who are affected by COVID-19.”

I would tell you that the government is the last thing you need but hey! You know what you're doing.
