When You Think Of COVID Screw-Ups, Think of Canada

 


 

Who would want to come here, Justin?:

With COVID-19 numbers dipping across the country and several provinces gradually easing back to normalcy, many Canadians have been wondering when it will be OK for unvaccinated people to travel freely once again. Putting a rest to this notion, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday clarified that it is “not going to happen for quite a while.”

People can't wait to not be served in restaurants that are shut, paying inflated prices for common goods and watching churches as they burn.

 

And let's not forget the stellar healthcare:

A Gatineau woman has died after spending several hours in pain, lying on the floor of the Hull Hospital emergency department, leaving her family distraught and demanding change.

Anne Pommainville, 58, went to the hospital in Gatineau, Que., on the evening of June 27, but was unable to sit on a waiting room chair due to extreme stomach pain.

Hospital staff told Pommainville and her husband, Jacques Richard, that her only option was to create a makeshift bed on the floor using blankets.


Also:

The top public health official in Ontario’s Niagara Region says he wants the U.S.-Canada border to stay closed until the fall even as local business leaders and politicians call for the opposite to support the area's tourism-reliant economy.

 

Yes, about that

Niagara Region Public Health says six people were injected with the harmless saline substance on June 16 at a clinic in Port Colborne, Ont.

 

 

Incompetence or malice?

YOU decide: 

Canada’s contract to work with a Chinese drug company on its COVID-19 vaccine included an arbitration process for resolving disputes, but as the deal fell apart last year, the National Research Council never used the provision.

(Sidebar: this China.)

The “collaborative research agreement” between the NRC and CanSino Biologics, obtained by the National Post through an access-to-information request, gave both sides the right to ask for binding arbitration, while barring court litigation to settle disagreements.

 

(Sidebar: these vaccines.)

 

I guess you can just test on unwitting people and see what happens.

It wouldn't be the first time that happened.

**

Crampton’s ruling accepts that the enforced hotel stays are, in fact, “detentions” but deemed them not “arbitrary,” and said they are justified as reasonable public health measures.

 

This is outright contempt for the public. 

These mandatory detentions (yes, he called them that) are not necessary but will be enforced.

Who enforces them for illegal migrants? Who knows?

Do we live in a free country, Canadians?
