A couple of phone calls would have done it

 So, the federal government -- meaning you and I -- blew $391,000 after-the-fact to find out Julie Payette was a disastrous choice.  That's what they paid a "consulting" firm to learn of the bad job she had done in the Montreal Science Centre and COC when it came to running a harmonious workplace.

For Trudeau to say she was properly vetted is simply a bold-faced lie.  How could they have missed her dreadful performance and all the formal complaints about harassment in those workplaces?!  Instead of forking over $391,000 to crony consultants, why did no one pick up the phone and call the people who knew all about her incompetence, arrogance and temper in dealing with employees and colleagues?!  Just another example of Trudeau's arrogance and inability to listen to any opinion other than the one he and his school-chum buddies hold.

Could someone also tell me why no other province or the feds have adopted the Nova Scotian model of rapid COVID testing?  There, downtown bars and restaurants have recruited volunteers to rapid-test patrons upon entry so they can remain open.  Apparently, since these pop-up clinics were launched in December, just a handful of the nearly 14,000 people tested were confirmed to have the virus and most were asymptomatic.  This no-brainer meant such people did not inadvertently shed and spread the virus into the community.  

Duh?! 

Millions of rapid-test kits have been purchased by the feds and are available right now, so why aren't they being used in other provinces?!  Apparently, because other provinces insist that all tests must be given by someone with medical training -- not by trained volunteers, as Nova Scotia is doing.

I smell the nurses' union here.  Once again, the useless Tam needs to step in and order other provinces follow suit.  But she won't.
