Show us the COVID contracts

We’re a year into COVID now and, predictably, it’s all boiled down to vaccines. The more the delays, the more people and the country suffer.

It’s hard to know just where we are on vaccine delivery. In the absence of our own vaccine production capabilities, we’re at the mercy of foreign suppliers and foreign governments.

The Liberals boast about their impressive portfolio of vaccines from multiple suppliers, but we’re only seeing a trickle to this point.

Like everything else on COVID — border closures, travel restrictions, PPE, and testing capacity; vaccines are too little, too late.

Our health and our economy continue to be hostage to COVID. We get announcements of millions of doses of this or that vaccine for possible delivery.

Provincial premiers are demanding details of vaccine contracts, but the Liberals continue to stonewall them.

With our well being and economy at stake, Canadians deserve to know, too. Information on price, delivery dates, non-delivery penalties, and contract signing dates, would provide a better understanding of why we find ourselves where we are.

The Liberals say that everything is in hand, so why are they are making panicky claims on the COVAX vaccine program which was intended to assist poorer nations with vaccines. We’re the only G7 nation doing this.

If our vaccine contracts are really that great, then let’s see them. If the facts supported the Liberal narrative, you can bet the media would be chock full of contract details.

Who can believe what Justin Trudeau says on vaccines? He’s a proven liar with three ethics violations as prime minister. His fuzzy assurances from Rideau Cottage are wearing thin.

It’s like living in a mushroom farm where the inhabitants are kept in the dark.

Maybe we should be developing a vaccine against Justin Trudeau. It seems that herd immunity may be some time away.
