University professors seem to love dwelling there. Two such oddities wrote a column in yesterday's 'Globe and Mail' urging Canada to become a global leader in COVID-19 treatments. Ha! We can't even get the vaccine, let alone be a world leader.
These are not the days of well-funded research, as when Banting and Best developed the diabetes treatment, or when Jonas Salk came up with a vaccine for polio. No, these are the days when every major drug manufacturer fled this country and Canada privatized the Connaught Labs.
The fact that these firms are about making money meant they could not stay in Canada without financial subsidies. But Canada, being Canada, didn't step up. No, we threw it all over to the likes of Theresa Tam. How'd that work out?
I have this sinking feeling that, in trying t re-order the world, Trudeau and his "Laurentian Elite" buddies lied to Canadians about how we'd have everyone vaccinated starting in November. He must have known that was a blatant lie and on 'Power Play', Dr. Amir Attaran, a law and medicine professor at Ottawa U, said so out loud. This expert also said that Canada actually has the capacity to manufacturer the vaccine right now and in citing numbers, said that Trudeau's claims to the contrary were "simply not true". Google yesterday's 'Power Play' and be prepared to be shocked.
Frankly, I think the strategy is to just let the vulnerable die, such as old people. That would certainly save a lot of CPP -- the funds for which are quickly drying up.
