The problem stems from the fact that Canada is a country full of pussies. Canadians go along to get along. Politicians are afraid of making potentially unpopular decisions and taking risks. If politicians open up the economy and a bunch of Canadians die, the media will say that they have blood on their hands. There is a COVID death ticker and hospitalization ticker. But no ticker for suicide, opioid deaths, homicide, property crime, etc.

Trump had balls. And he paid a political price for that. Conservative politicians see what they did to Trump and said, "I ain't finna go raw squirrel up in that shit."
