I'm curious whether you have noticed the incredibly serious situation in NYC and New Orleans and many other areas of the USA. At the moment they have more people infected of Covid-19 in just NYC than Canada has people infected across the whole country. Almost 1900 dead in just NYC.
Do you not feel this is serious enough of a situation that it requires all the masks this American company makes to be sent to these hot spots? Should the US not try to save its own citizens lives above trying to be friends with Canada or South America?
Why doesn't Canada manufacture it's own masks?
- FpUser 7y agoSame reason US does not manufacture a basillion things they import from China. But yes Canada should learn to be more strategic.
- NicoJuicy 7y agoYour facts also coincide with weak leadership and very bad/recent decisions about reducing subsidies for health institutions (even cancelling a pandemic warning system that already identified strains of corona!) in favor of tax cuts for the already-rich. That is most definitely not the fault of Canada to handle it better than the US. Also, the chance that a non-American company will have a crucial piece of the puzzle for solving this is very big. Good luck with your short-term way of thinking if other countries will put US on the last place on the list. I expect more on HN
