80. Can we have some up here in Canada?

Sucks that our country's leader took the Corona Virus seriously, and Canadians all worked hard and cooperated for the most part, but Trudeau seems to be having trouble with our roll out and getting the vaccine in a timely manner.

And a lot of our own delay is that the damn Conservatives, in a mad rush to privatize everything they could while in power, shut down Canada's vaccine development industry, back decades ago. So we couldn't produce our own like England, and the US.
