Vaccine companies refused to manufacture vaccines in Canada due to lack of facilities. This is a fact. So Canada is waiting on getting them from other countries.
Despite all the flaws of the US system, US is doing much better than Canada for vaccine roll outs as well as lockdown measures. When USA built temporary hospitals and 2 hospital ships, Canada has yet not done it and it's been a year. Main problem here is that instead of building temporary hospitals to boost the hospital capacity like US did last year, we have simply kept locking down which is equivalent to throwing the problem under a rug. It's been a year and even though they were talking about it last year, only as of couple weeks ago, they are planning on using temporary field hospital in the coming weeks. Why wasn't it used for a year to boost the capacity? Also the 2 temporary hospitals in Ontario have only 73 and 84 beds. That's tiny.
