The vaccine experiment has failed like some experts predicted it would. There is a reason vaccines take 5+ years to develop.

Harper doesn't get off scott free either. He doesn't have a perfect record. Saying that, making a 'plan' and implementing it are 2 different things. Mr. Trudeau did not have to activate said plan, not cimpletely and beyond.
Now my company cannot send our salesmen to the US to see their clients. We cant get new people a lot of the time because the college leavers arent coming in for interviews, they get paid with printed money I guess.
Sure a lot of it we can do over the phone or video call, but it isnt the same. Logistics have also gone down the pan. Our logistics fuel costs are crippling. We can't get stuff over the border each way because our carriers truckers are either quitting (jabby mandates) or parking rigs because diesel is crippling.
At the moment, our HQ in the states is currently cut off from our HQ in Canada. We have had plenty staff take 1 or 2 jabs. Some have had a 3rd. Some had it by chance caught naturally and some declined. Theres enough of them that havent had 3 or nat immunity in each HQ or those that dont want it to affect our profitability because we cant move or trade freely.
Very, very frustrating. Many US staff can't come to us, and many Canadian staff can't travel south, because Biden wants jabby or no entry, and Trudeau wants jabby or no entry. Absolute deadlock.
We couldnt have a staff christmas party in AB or BC this year because of the jabby papers. We can't have conferences or business meetings in different cities because good luck a hotel renting you a ballroom. We have to meet clients or have stealth conferences with large groups in hotel lobbies, smaller groups in coffee shops, minivans, even using our homes! Oh but Bonnie Henry and Kenney says we cant have people over that we dont know in our own damn houses. Absurd we have to sneak rent a big hotel room that opens thru to another, bringing lots of chairs and a projector. Our staff in Quebec can't even walk around in peace after dark or carry on business between clients without hassle from the authorities. Absolutely ridiculous the hoops we have to go through just to carry on a business!!
We have had to raise raw material prices 3 times in the last year alone.
I could go on but omegacanada probably gets the drift.
Global pandemics are hard.
Better to listen to infectious disease and public health experts than people whose contribution is "But my business!?"
Certainly a good idea to review a wide variety of medical opinion and data out there.
We listened to these people. And now Canada is 90% jabbed, the program has been a success as far as rollout completion. Say we reach 95%.
We cant jab more than 100% complete. We cant get any more complete than complete innoculation. Mission is accomplished. What now?
We wait for elective surgeries to be resumed. I wonder how long that will take.
I'd say if we have the bed capacity, then start now.
