My area (very “right wing” with a lot of virus deniers mind you) has been praised for being the model of how these vaccines should be distributed. I guess I have the mentality of “if we can do it, anyone can”. It just baffles me that so many places are fucking this up.
I’m actually hesitant to tell anyone where exactly I live in fear that people from places doing a shitty job will flood our area to get vaccinated, as there are no “waiting lists” and we already have about a quarter of our area’s population vaccinated.

our current PM failed to bring it back. unsurprisingly, this wasn't a top of the heap issue. for anyone. anyone to claim otherwise is just being a partisan political hack. so now we're at the mercy of other nations who obviously want to vaccinate their nations first, so we're seeing the bullshit the EU is trying to pull, by barring their companies from exporting any vaccines until they're all vaccinated first. trudeau was on the ball with negotiating contracts in the beginning. conservatives lambasted him in the beginning for overbuying vaccines that they thought was a waste of taxpayer dollars.
if we had gone the conservative route, we'd be in a much worse position than we are (but some just NEED to hate on everything trudeau does). at least trudeau was willing to take the heat of the potential of overfilling our basket and the perception of "wasting" taxpayer dollars. now we're just hoping one of these companies, or many of them, hold true to their contracts and their governments don't intervene.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

however, I do predict that once our care homes and caregivers are all taken care of (the former is complete, the latter is under way), as well as the more vulnerable first nations people get taken care of (under way), society will start to open up again like it did last summer. last summer was basically like normal life here for a few months.
it's all about the ICU capacity. once the old people and most vulnerable stop going to the hospital, we'll be back to business as usual. still wearing masks, still distancing, probably not 100% capacity at businesses, but better than we are now.
we've already gone from about 500 cases a day in november to about 100, and out of that only about 25% of it is in the major city (Winnipeg). the main problem right now is the northern communities and reserves.Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall0 -

It’s Harpers fault...and Trudeau blamed Chrétien. Lol. Trudeau has had 6 years to address this issue? He is currently PM? Canada is the only g7 country that takes vaccines from a fund intended for developing nations...
Didn’t Trudeau shut down committee responsible fore Canada’s pandemic readiness...

Good news on first dose efficacy of Oxford/astra vaccine. Double the lives could be saved using an optimal 3 month gap.
