Wow, Canada Sure Has A Handle On This Coronavirus Screw-Up, Doesn't It?

It's like Canada aims to screw up everything it touches. 

Being the dopey, little idiot on the world stage is only good for a pity laugh:

Political aides have misled Canadians on pandemic management, the Commons health committee was told. An MP cited internal emails by James Fitz-Morris, a former CBC reporter now working as director of communications to the Minister of Public Works: “Mostly true!”



Does this apply to flights from China and MPs flying in from their holidays?:

Cross-border drivers who fail to show proof of a Covid test may face criminal prosecution under pandemic controls introduced at midnight last night. “There may be substantial fines going up to as much as $3,000 or even a criminal prosecution,” said Public Safety Minister Bill Blair: “Cancel your vacation plans. Stay home.”



Why, that doesn't sound controlling at all:

Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister said the federal government’s contracts with key coronavirus vaccine suppliers like Pfizer and Moderna forbid those companies from selling in separate deals to provinces.

In an interview with The West Block‘s Mercedes Stephenson, Pallister said recent comments by Procurement Minister Anita Anand that provinces are free to pursue their own deals with coronavirus vaccine suppliers are “false.”

“My response is that the minister is totally wrong and we can certainly provide you with ample evidence of our work in reaching out to the various companies the federal government had signed up with,” said Pallister, pointing to Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.

“They’ve all told us that they are not going to sell to us because that’s part of the deal they made with the federal government. To me, that’s blocking.”
