But that's the point. Despite the spin about previous governments killing our production facilities, the fact is Canada had labs that could have been repurposed to manufacture the vaccines locally. What we didn't have was a government with the business mindset to adopt modern manufacturing and financial techniques and partner with a vaccine maker to build local production.
The USA did, and they're about to open up vaccine availability to all adults, while we're nowhere close.
Give 'em their props. They were earned.
