Sticking it to Canadians: 'Justin Trudeau has been bragging about vaccination rates. This self-congratulatory spin egregiously misrepresents the true vaccination picture: As of May 17 Canada actually ranked a shameful 2nd to last among G7 nations in fully vaccinating population'

'This is on par with nations such as St. Kitts and Nevis (3.3) and Kazakhstan (4.1).
Vaccine procurement in Canada has been a massive debacle.'

'In November 2020 it was revealed Pfizer and Moderna procurements had been delayed as a result of a deal gone bad between the National Research Council (NRC) and a Chinese supplier. After months of delays, China (a Trudeau favoured-nation) refused to ship the vaccine.'

For those pretending the recommended 4-month delay in vaccine doses was an example of Trudeau gov't foresight, the claim is nonsense. The decision was solely based on Canada's vaccine shortage as confirmed by the chair of the National Advisory Committee on Immunization. (cont'd)

When asked by Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner at the Commons house committee: “Would you (NACI) have made that recommendation if there had been more supply?” NACI Chair Dr. Caroline responded:
“Of course not.”

'If we had had enough vaccines to vaccinate all Canadians quickly and at least those most at risk with two doses of vaccines, we would not have needed to extend the interval ... Given the scarcity of vaccines, you have to make the best decision given what you have."

Oh fer cryin' out loud, you're the AUDITOR GENERAL! AG Defends Ties To Lobbyist | Blacklock's Reporter blacklocks.ca/ag-defends-tie… #cdnpoli

'Auditor General Karen Hogan yesterday defended her ties to a Liberal lobbyist. Hogan awarded sole-sourced contracts to a lobbying firm and fed them confidential copies of her audits months before they were available to MPs and senators.'

"I have taken a look at the contracts,” said Hogan. “We followed the contracting rules set out by the government.”
Hogan’s office in 2020 awarded a $24,800 sole-sourced contract to lobbyist Susan Smith of Bluesky Strategy Group Inc. of Ottawa.

CBC: Canada won't receive any Pfizer shots next week — here's what you need to know about the vaccination campaign:

(1) Deliveries of the Pfizer vaccine will drop by 50 per cent over the next four weeks, delaying some appointments cbc.ca/news/politics/… #cdnpoli

(2) Pfizer isn't treating every customer the same way. While Canada will receive zero doses next week, the company said it "will be back to the original schedule of deliveries to the European Union beginning the week of January 25."

(3) When asked why Pfizer will not make the same commitment to Canada, federal Public Services and Procurement Minister Anita Anand said that she expects the company to treat all countries equitably — but could not say why Canada has been singled out.

Oh, look: The federal environment department says that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's new carbon tax combined with his looming clean fuel standard will disproportionately hit low-income earners, the middle class, seniors, single moms and contribute to energy poverty.

'It is expected increases in transportation fuel & home heating expenses would disproportionately impact lower and middle-income households, those living in single detached households ... those without control over the energy efficiency of their dwellings that use heating oil ...

" ... as well as households currently experiencing energy poverty or those likely to experience energy poverty in the future ... single mothers are more likely to live in lower-income households, and may be more vulnerable to energy poverty ... "
