If Canada (Ontario in particular) has such a clever strategy, why are we living under a stay at home order where police have been deployed to prevent us from doing anything but grocery shop? I dont see how anyone living in Ontario could have anything good to say about what I would argue is our governments complete failure to serve its citizens in any way, whether protecting vulnerable people form covid, or even affording basic freedoms ot its citizens. It's amazing to me that in the face of an utter failure by our government, people can pretend that we're doing well.

I see you have an axe to grind, but those are two separate issues. And two different levels of government. The federal gov't does not issue stay at home orders. FWIW I think this provincial gov't is mind bogglingly incompetent, and also a bit malevolent.

  > FWIW I think this provincial gov't is mind bogglingly incompetent, and also a bit malevolent. Sounds like we're on the same page then :) I'm confused about the rest of your comment - healthcare, and whatever emergency powers they have unconstitutionally used to try and get us to stay home, are the responsibilities of the provinces. Does the federal government have a role in this at all? Are they somehow setting the overall vaccination policy?

    I think the federal government is responsible for acquisition and logistical delivery to provinces, but not the administration of vaccines.

  It's a ridiculous exageration. The police have not been deployed. The provincial gov't made noises, and the police basically told them to bugger off.
