> As an example of domestic prioritization, Canada prepaid for a whole lot of vaccines (enough for everyone to be vaccinated three times over - so six shots) but when push came to shove the US horded their supply to inoculate citizens first. There was no "hoarding" or "export ban"; The Trump Administration was simply smart and bought the doses when potential vaccines were still early in development, long before FDA approval. Manufacturers are simply fulfilling their contractual obligations to ship the dose to the first investors. Canada could have done the same, giving more money to promising tech earlier, to get the doses earlier.

It, unsurprisingly, failed spectacularly. > we value supporting local content and want to make sure our artists are able to make a living because, honestly, we really value the arts up here Then why are special laws required at all if people really want that content and are interested in buying it?
