Eglington in Toronto has been under construction since the 70's... it would take us a century to get a vaccine going

[tranquangkim]

Canadians are too busy to worry about global warming.

We need to actually DO things in this country. A guy who taught drama wouldn't know the need for this in order to have a decent economy.

[BurevestnikM]

Because Canadian recruiters kept asking people How many years in this, How many months in this, and then they placed their drinking buddies on the positions. Job corruption in Canada is at all time high.

[btw]

Softball cover for government incompetence. Our state media is disgraceful.

Because, Canada forces foreign PhD Holders to work as Toilet cleaners in Canada 😂

[KryptaKnight]

We can’t build. It took 2 years to fix a road light to light 🤣

[sqoobie]

Lol have fun while you're here ... people are waking up

[stanislavkogan]

All that's good and games, and yet Israel is producing their own COVID vaccine, Hungary is producing the Russian vaccine - these are just two examples of countries with limited capacities that ARE somehow much more capable in this area. So, what gives?

[DavidWilliams-rknq]

Why can’t we “do it NOW” ? What does Canada Currently Manufacture? NOTHING!!

[williamgreene]

Pm said in July 35 million doses of pzfer as soon as get license. So to precure . So PM is forgetting others have memories. pM is lieing or trying to think we don’t have memories

[davidjohnson-fwco]

Canadians should come to a realization, all manufacturing has pretty much left us cold and dry. Covid has shown we must import everything from critical medicines to ppe and now vaccines. Home grown development of industry, especially critical items needed by canadians should not be made by other countries. the risk is way too big to take this lightly,

[davideo.]

Another great success of the socialized healthcare industry!

Famous Proverb in Canada about PhD
PHD = Pizza Home Delivery ...
With such a state of Affairs forget any research or manufacturing 😂😂😂😂😂

[rosewinter]

I am glad we aren't getting vaccines first. Other countries are at hospital and staff breaking points, they need it now.

[zfhmjmr]

The manufacturer could easily set up a facility here in Canada with the help of the government but school boy Justy is too incompetent for that kind of a deal.

[pinto]

They can do whatever they want. Its just not in the books for those involved with the money and decisions.

[vajraking]

Covid covid, am tired, cant we go back to 2019

[cate]

Because mulroney sold our labs to France.
