Where Is The Vaccine?

 I gave Trudeau a lot of credit for how he's handled the pandemic in Canada but I was wrong.  We're a country of 40 million people and certainly not a third world country so why the heck do we not have a facility in this great, huge country to produce the damned vaccine?  We have been receiving some from Belgium but that has stopped because countries that do have facilities have decided to use their product to vaccinate their own citizens first.  I don't like it but I understand it.

Billions, maybe trillions, of dollars have been handed out to some of the richest companies in the country as a stimulus to help (?) them through the lockdowns so why didn't our leaders realize that only by producing our own vaccine could we hope to get the country working again?  Those companies won't survive without customers and their potential customers are sick and dying every single day without the vaccine.  Their customers are also falling so far in debt from loss of employment that they might never be able to pay it off.  Spending money on unnecessary consumer goods will take a long time to become the norm again.

I've read a bit about the "great reset" and, even though I don't believe the virus was planned, I do see how powerful people might be in a perfect position right now to become even richer and more powerful.  They have the resources to take advantage of a distressed market.  Unfortunately, this is going to be off the backs of hard working citizens who have lost their jobs and maybe their life savings.

Something I have a hard time understanding is how Ontario, under complete lockdown, can continue to operate financially.  So many people aren't working and paying taxes.  Most businesses are closed and not paying taxes.  Where is the money coming from to pay for the everyday running of a province of 15 million citizens?  Some say that people living in the next century will still be paying off the debt we're incurring but where is the money coming from today and who is providing it?  

Well, we might never know but we'd better hope we're not indebted to a country or countries that will take us over.
