We're certainly looking pretty good here, compared to other countries.
I've become quite impressed at how quickly we've been able to ramp up these vaccines.
My first shot is scheduled for Monday.

I think you have to do more than just look at where we’re at now and look closer at how we got here and what could have been done better. Earlier in this thread we had an argument about how junkies lives weren’t worth as much as some 90yo covid patient
If anyone actually feels that way then the fact that care homes and whatnot were essentially left to their own demise and tens of thousands of people likely died when they could have put preventive measures in place should be at the top of the list of how poorly the pandemic was handled.
From a personal point of view I can agree it’s nice to see some kind of light at the end of the tunnel but really I was never in danger, my mental health is the same as it was prior to the pandemic, I’m substantially better off financially than prior. It’s all roses for me.
On a global level I can give the govt. at both levels some credit. And as much as people dislike Bonnie she was in an impossible situation from the start especially saddled next to sack of shit adrien Dix. But as I’ve maintained all along, we are Canada, we should be doing above average.
Also, how much of tempering expectations was done for political gain in positioning for an election? No one will ever know but given Trudeaus track record nothing is out of the question
