#C213 I've noticed that the Fed NDP talking point is that Liberals have been promising this for 24 years. In truth, only 4 years. Thread: (ref in tweets 4/5/6/)
1/
 It was only in 2004 that Premiers (except Que who have their own prog) have been calling for national pharmacare.
2/
 Paul Martin’s Liberal gov’t made some progress, then work towards national pharmacare stalled out for 10 yrs under Harper. Justin Trudeau’s Liberal gov’t name Eric Hoskins head of fed advisory council on how to implement national pharmacare in 2018.
3/
 2018 minus 2004 = 14 years. 14 minus 10 years stalled under Harper = 4 years. In other words: Liberal gov’ts, with request from Premiers, have been working on this for 4 years.

FOUR YEARS

listening to Ontario's Vaccine update. Rick Hillier won't answer the reporter Laura's question, why is there no plan.
He claims that they have to wait 'til vaccines arrive.
And gives example ppl able to find out from Toronto - so he's downloading responsibility to cities?

 Hillier seems to think the only info people want in Ontario, is age brackets and who comes first. No info about locations or who will do the vaccinating

 I feel so bad for Ontarians. I thought it was bad here in Alberta. O M G, he's continuing to basically stonewall the reporters. And I think he really believes what he's saying, which means he's "not the brightest bulb" IMHO

 Alberta Premier Kenney just blamed Ottawa for Teck pulling out of Alberta. That's not true. Even the Calgary Chamber @CalgaryChamber recognized the real reason for their withdrawal (see next tweet for quote and link to their article)
2/
 From Calgary Chamber article (Feb. 24, 2020)
“To quote Teck directly, Frontier could not move forward because we, as a province and as a country, have been unable ‘to have a framework in place that reconciles resource development AND climate change’ calgarychamber.com/release-022420…
3/
 also from the article (linked in 2/)
"“We need real, decisive action on climate change, with tangible outcomes and conviction. The success of our businesses, the well-being of our families, and our strength as a country all depend on it.”

Now that plenty of vaccines on their way, CPC MP Rempel Garner has to find something-else to make a (as my Grandma used to say) "tempest out of a teapot" - she's onto a new manufactured (pardon the pun) problem & demanding when boosters for variants will be available

 h/t @JaroGiesbrecht for posting the clip. I’ve transcribed Min Anand’s answer to CPC MP MRG:

 Min Anand cont’d: … Moderna and Pfizer, one of the first countries to get vaccines into this country, one of the first countries to secure the largest number of doses per capita in the WORLD, Mr Speaker. …
