Canada is dealing with another surge of coronavirus infections. In major cities such as Montreal and Toronto, the number of cases is skyrocketing. At this point, the country is now seeing more cases per million than the United States, which is a first since the pandemic began.
The vaccine distribution in Canada has been poor, which many believe is a major contributor to the rise in infection rates. Just two days ago, barely 22 percent of the population of Canada have had the first round of the vaccine. In the US, 37 percent have. As of April 14, less than 2 percent of the Canadian population is fully vaccinated.
As a result of this government incompetence, political leaders have imposed yet another lockdown with even stricter enforcement this time around. A state of emergency has been issued for a third time, and a multi-week stay-at-home order has been enacted.
In other words, things are an absolute mess in Canada.
The U.S./Canadian border has been closed for well over a year now, but it seems as though the U.S. is no longer the problem. According to a recent news article on WebMD, the U.S. CDC issued a travel advisory earlier this month, saying that “travelers should avoid all travel to Canada.”
Many Canadian oppose another lockdown. In fact, many groups, including some nurses, have protested the stay-at-home order.

Is Ontario a city?
Canada is becoming WhoVille from the Grinch that stole Christmas.
Trudeau flys under the Radar, but he could be worse than Obiden.
it seems that nothing Canada does effects the world. Canada is becoming a void of freedom. when i was growing up in DC, we used to think C was sooo cool. visiting was so layed back.
they suck now. scared and they suck.
I always called Trudeau Canada’s Obama.
He’s an Obama wannabe, probably talks to the man for advice. I more think he’s like that Beto character in Texas, desperately seeking approval of lefties, doing any idiotic thing they rave on about.
Ontario is a province, not a city.
Aha, Clint corrected it. It originally said, “In major cities such as Ontario and Toronto,…”
No one cares. It’s Canada.
We go to Canada once a year to visit the Niagara Falls area. Great wineries and restaurants. Lots to do. Looks like we’ll have to skip that for the 2nd year in a row.
I’d like to see Niagara Falls.
Not surprising it’s Ontario and Quebec (the providences) that are doing this…they are high on the woke scale. That’s like if the US had California and New York next to each other.
We used to drive over the border to buy beer in Montreal. That’s pretty much all Canada was good for, and now you can’t even do that.
Need to take those illegals crossing and drop them off at the Canadian border
So youre saying government run health care isnt the most effecient? Think of where they would be if our private pharma companies werent so good
Props for Canada for border control. Other than this, Justin Trudeau is auditioning for the part of Newsome’s more inept (if that’s possible) cousin.
I know someone there who is a nurse and said very clearly that the health system was already completely taxed and hospitals already out of beds *before* any of the covid BS started and the government is now just using the pandemic as cover for their years of ineptitude. And yet there are still idiots here who want the same people running the DMV to run their healthcare. So dumb.
Considering that Canada has roughly the same population as California(37M), the amount of people to have been vaccinated is criminal. Trudeau needs to stop auditioning for The Bachelor and start taking care of his citizens.
But but but muh masks
The problem is the idiots that elect him. Elections have consequences. Dems here constantly learn that but blame everything on Republicans instead of facing the truth about their party.
Canada elects ignorant tyrants just like we do hopefully we will all learn to elect people that respect our civil rights these lockdowns are and have been totally illegal by power hungry pols should never happen again.
The leftist fascist green reset scam is really working nicely in places run by Democrats and their ilk like Trudeau. Trudeau loves China’s model. Those people at this point are traitors. They need to be handled as such.
This can’t be true TSN 690 tells me every day that Canada and especially Quebec are handling COVID much better than we are.
