Canada’s inability to manufacture vaccines in-house will delay distribution: Trudeau

Canada will not be first in line for COVID-19 vaccines, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said during his morning briefing in front of Rideau Cottage on Tuesday (Nov. 24).

“We recognize the disadvantage Canada has of not having a domestic pharmaceutical industry capable of making the vaccines,” Trudeau said.

Trudeau says Canadians will likely have to wait until 2021 for first doses of COVID-19 vaccine

“Since the very beginning we knew there would be challenges because unlike the Germans, Americans and the British we don’t have a mass production capacity for vaccines so we had to come up with broader sources than those sources and that’s precisely what we did and we were even criticized internationally because we got too much access to vaccines,” Trudeau said.

  1. Isn’t the first priority of government to protect its citizens?
  2. There’s a country that borders Canada that is screaming to purchase medicine from them. Why hasn’t any effort been made to create a pharmaceutical industry?

Police say it would be ‘unsafe’ to shut down Adamson BBQ due to large crowds

Toronto police say they don’t have the manpower to shut down a busy Etobicoke BBQ joint that defied provincial COVID-19 lockdown orders on Tuesday by opening for indoor dining.

Canada has turned back only 4,400 so called asylum seekers in 5 years – usual suspects still whining

Canada has turned away at least 4,400 asylum seekers at the U.S. border since 2016 — including some who were hoping to find refuge here at the height of the global pandemic — according to newly released government figures.

Nearly half of those trying to enter Canada over that five-year period made the attempt in the year after U.S. President Donald Trump took office, according to figures released in response to a parliamentary request from NDP MP Jenny Kwan.

Under the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA), which has been in effect since 2004, Canada and the U.S. consider each other to be “safe countries” for refugees and require them to make their claims in the country they arrive in first.

Stop The Small Business Lockdowns

On Friday morning, we sent out a press release that ruffled a few feathers.

The headline? “We’re one of Canada’s oldest conservative organizations, and Doug Ford and Brian Pallister are way out of line.”

We stand by that message even more so now — especially after the Premier of Ontario dropped the hammer on all small businesses, gyms, and restaurants in the GTA (without evidence of community spread), while continuing to allow the big box stores to flourish.

Canadian Universities Have Extensive Research Partnerships With Chinese State To Develop A “Surveillance” Society Against “Far Right Canadians”

Can you believe this? Quietly behind our backs our universities have been reaching extremely lucrative agreements with the Communist Party of China to cooperate in the development of “surveillance and population control technologies and the use of facial recognition, and digital monitoring” against those who question mass immigration and the rise of China to global supremacy. Chinese financial power will be combined with Western scientific research to develop technologies that will allow the Canadian government to surveil “every health record, every banking record, every social media post” of Canadians to ensure the peaceful replacement of whites.
