    Ah: there’s the clarification from the minister.

    We continue to prepare for the arrival of vaccines by bolstering infrastructure across the country, including with the procurement and distribution of freezers. *To clarify vaccines have not arrived in Canada yet, but we continue to prepare for their arrival.

    Kinda got to agree with Jacqui here . Other ministers tweeted the same pics with the same misleading info. Pfizer vaccines, Pfizer says, are coming to Canada on UPS planes.

    Very misleading tweet by this Minister. These are not pictures of vaccines arriving.

    Unless this jackwagon is Aboriginal, he’s a generation or two away from a being ‘foreigner’ himself. An irony of which he and folks who think like this seem blissfully unaware. His comments are unworthy of the place in which he is lucky to live.

    Don’t care which side of the fence you’re on regarding masks & . But if you’re at a protest rally in & can’t pronounce a “foreigners” name....Just call him what he is...DOCTOR. Thanks for all your work Dr Shahab✊🏽 That dude wasn’t protesting

    Indefensible shit. Completely and utterly indefensible. Selfish, out of touch, amoral.
