Which is where the whole politicizing the pandemic comes into place. Canada's vaccine roll out has been complete garbage. Which is mostly because we didn't make our own vaccine (didn't have facilities) and are relying on other countries to give it to us.

India was able to make their own vaccine and so far vaccinated 158M single and 29.1M fully. US 248M and 106M fully. Yet Canada wasn't able to make their own and so far only 14M single and 1M fully.

They won't say it publicly but I'm guessing the real strategy at this point is keep restriction going through the summer and they have worked out a deals with the US where they (and Mexico probably) will get first dibs on all the US's extra stockpile.
