Anyone Who Believes That Canada Has Handled the Coronavirus Pandemic Better Than Anyone Else Has Been Living Under a Rock

Does anyone need reminding of how badly this country screwed up?:

Jan. 19: A Health Canada briefing note prepared for Health Minister Patty Hajdu states: “Based on the latest information that we have, there is no clear evidence that the virus is easily transmitted between people,” as the CBC’s John Paul Tasker would later reveal in April.

Health Committee documents reveal the Public Health Agency of Canada led by Dr. Theresa Tam knew explicitly that there was person to person spread of the coronavirus in China as early as January 15, 2020.

Here’s what Theresa Tam recently said about masks:

“Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer, maintained in a press conference Monday that while face masks can cut down on the spread of the coronavirus when worn by someone already infected, it does little for healthy individuals.”

Here’s what she says now:

“Canada’s top public-health doctor says wearing masks is a way for people who might have COVID-19 without realizing it to keep from spreading the illness to others.
That’s a change from previous advice.

Implementing public health screenings at airports for travellers coming from Wuhan:

 
January 17 – (US) The CDC implements public health screening at 3 major U.S. airports 

January 22 – (Canada) Major airports are directed to implement health screenings in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver

Experts say there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about whether China is concealing the full impact of COVID-19 and that federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu is wrong to dismiss this question as conspiracy theory, particularly since U.S. intelligence is reportedly warning the American government of this.

Health Minister Patty Hajdu told senators Friday that Canada’s less fractured political culture has been an asset in the fight against COVID-19, especially compared to  America.

(Sidebar: unless they told you the truth about China and the WHO, right, Patty?)

Canadian companies are producing personal protective equipment (PPE) for COVID-19 on such a large scale that Prime Minster Trudeau said the nation is soon to be self-sufficient, according to CTV News.

During a pre-taped interview at the Collision tech conference on Thursday, Trudeau spoke highly of the numerous financial programs that his administration has implemented to keep the economy stimulated and to encourage innovation against fighting the virus.

Yes, about that:

Calling himself a "wartime president," President Donald Trump today signed the Defense Protection Act, a significant step that would allow the military to produce, among other things, personal protective equipment (PPE) such as face masks as part of an effort to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The U.S. International Development Finance Corp is talking to companies about reshoring the manufacturing of personal protective equipment, generic drugs and pharmaceutical ingredients, DFC Chief Executive Adam Boehler said in an interview on Monday. 

Boehler said letters of understanding for some initial projects could be signed within the next month. The Trump administration has been pushing here for U.S. companies and importers to move manufacturing out of China.

3M Company MMM has been in focus since the coronavirus outbreak. Although the company was somewhat slow in its initial response to the growing demand for respirators in the United States, it ramped up manufacturing of N-95 masks. The company has been constantly working to meet domestic demand for N-95 masks since President Donald Trump urged the company to increase its production capacity.

Last month, the company said that it would triple its monthly production of N-95 masks after winning a pair of contracts from the U.S. Department of Defense worth more than $200 million. Globally, 3M expects to double its annual output of N95 masks to 2 billion.

The company’s expected earnings growth rate for next year is 10.2%. Its shares have gained 25.5% in the past three months.

How is a country like Canada "nearly" able to produce all the personal protective equipment the country needs yet the US is ready to export its surplus?




Remember - getting your hair cut will kill your grandmother:

The Public Health Agency of Canada went ahead with plans to host a convention just as the global pandemic due to COVID-19 was declared.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, the agency paid a total of $319,167 on March 12 to host delegates at an Ottawa convention, a day after the World Health Organization declared the pandemic.

“The meeting in question was the biannual Canadian Immunization Conference,” said Natalie Mohamed, spokesman for the agency. “A deposit was to be paid by March 31. The process to award the contract and pay the deposit was already underway when the pandemic was declared.”

Mohamed said the deposit was non-refundable.

“We are in discussions with the vendor to renegotiate dates,” she said.

People have had to re-schedule weddings, holidays and surgeries but hey! Convention!




Are you really going to be cheap with your globalist friends?:

Canada’s contribution includes $180 million to address the immediate humanitarian and development impacts of the pandemic and $120 million towards a new initiative called the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator.

The ACT Accelerator was created in April by the World Health Organization, the French government, the European Commission and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to ensure equitable access to medical treatments. It supports organizations, health professionals and businesses in their efforts to develop a vaccine, as well as drug therapies and diagnostic tools to battle the pandemic.

Yet people still trust these idiots with their lives.

In other news, New Brunswick has reported no more cases.
