Ontario asks Biden for a million vaccines amid shortage

[Counselor706]

TORONTO (AP) — Canada won’t be getting any Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccines next week and 50% fewer than expected over the next month, officials said Tuesday, prompting the leader of Canada’s most populous province to ask U.S. President-elect Joe Biden to share a million doses from Pfizer’s Michigan plant.

Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, said he’s angry. He asked Biden to help Canada out, noting there’s a Pfizer plant in Michigan.

Ford notes Ontario is a large trading partner to the U.S.

“I can’t help but ask the president,” Ford said. “The least thing you can do … give us a million vaccines. You have a hundred million down there. Give your great neighbor which stands shoulder to shoulder with you a million vaccines to get us over the hump. That’s what we would love to see from the president.”

Crack smoking Rob Ford's alcoholic little brother is a tool. Course the whiny fuck is going to beg for shit he's slipping in the polls. Took away paid sick days, destroyed the health care system and fucked up the Landlord Tenant act so people are being evicted in fucking January and, gee, I wonder why our numbers are outta control. Oh and let's not forget he's got Mike Harris, who is directly responsible for the cold blooded killing of a fellow Canadian, on the Order of Ontario list. He's such an ass he should be living in Ammurikha.
Be best, Daddy.

Gosh, I'm not doing this out of racism, but over here there's a HUGE discontent that a lot of houses were bought by rich people from China, who are now renting them to locals, at high rent prices.

Here's the contradiction in CornusCousa's thinking: he IS pro-landlords, in the spirit of capitalism (aka "if they don't hike up rent prices, they can't maintain houses etc.) but he's also against China's expansionism in the US and other New World countries.

I don't think anyone living in a car has three jobs...

 

[Champakian]

But they get "free" health care.



What are the essential benefits your government does not provide?

 

[CornusKousa]

Keep in mind it's common for employers to only hire part time workers because they don't have to pay benefits so people work two or three part time jobs. It's more common to live in your car in Vancouver because of the weather, Toronto is colder so there are more tent cities popping up.
And here's a story to warm your American heart, cops have been pouring water on homeless people sleeping outside in freezing weather. 52 division in particular.

But I thought you guys are OH SO SUPERIOR~! And better than the USA in every possible way.

PROGRESS!!! It's the way, with no consequences of any kind!! Just wonderful utopian bliss!!!

The foreign nationals and wealthy are taking advantage of the low interest rates to buy up everything and, yes, charge exorbitant rents.

Just keep saying "Diversity is our strength!!" because if you don't, and you fail to support Rich foreigners and especially the CCP extract your nations wealth and exploit it's people? You'll be called RACIST!!!! And little Trumpsters!!!!

And you don't want that now do you???

NOW You guys want a million vaccines??

With the "America Last" administration coming online today you'll probably get them.

I don't think RocketLauncher is aware that her "country" is run by the CCP yet.

Health (physio, chiropractor etc.) and/or dental coverage, life and/or accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and short- and long-term disability coverage to name a few.

I am shocked, SHOCKED! to find that a "free" health care system,
a superior way to provide health care, is not comprehensive....

Is it a cost thing?

 

[CornusKousa]

Really? You really think I believe all that bullshit? Ffs, you know me better than that.

You're not a progressive lefty???

Not pro-diversity and pro open borders???

My mistake.....I had no idea you were a deplorable.

 

[CornusKousa]

Again, I honestly thought you knew me better than that. I believe we've had some rather interesting discussions as to our political ideologies off board.

I thought you had gotten even more "progressive" since then, you always seem to be standing with them and their ideals.

My mistake!

Anyhow, hope the "USA Last" admin hooks you guys up with all of our vaccines.

 

[Champakian]

Oh, and Ontario has a Conservative gov't.

What the hell is that supposed to mean in Canada?

Shit made me laugh too.

 

[Champakian]

Oh, so the Corporations are the root of all evil.
They must retard and prevent prosperity, eh?

 

[Champakian]

I'm glad the stock market will continue to rise because I worked hard, saved and invested so now that I am retired, I don't have to care that much about who controls the government and my "free" benefits...



I am a huge fan of capital creation. The only thing that bothers me about corporations
is that they buckle to bloated government and pay them lavishly in protection money
because all of that bribery in order to just do business comes out of my end.

 

[Champakian]

PS - when you raise labor costs, you do spur innovation...



... the kind of innovation that displaces workers.

 

[CornusKousa]

I stand alone and against Trump. Dude is a total douchebag.

Yup.

And rather hostile to the collective pursuit of equity and open borders "America(ns) Last" policy.

Thus progressives hate him so very very much.

Both left and right in the US are fucked.

I don't think the right is anywhere near the shit the left is.

Long explanation short, we don't NEED the left...not ideologically, economically nor practically.

They are entirely dependent upon us economically and practically.
