As my colleague Brian Lilley reported on the weekend: “Despite being a G7 nation, and one of the first to approve both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, Canada ranks 12th in the world. Why? A lack of supply. Provinces can’t deliver doses if the federal government doesn’t deliver them.”
And the feds just aren’t delivering them, or delivering them fast enough. Pfizer, for example, has told Ottawa it is dramatically cutting back on the number of vaccines it will be sending us. But the European Union countries won’t be facing any delay at all. None.
Like Lilley, I wrote about how poorly the Trudeau regime has done in acquiring potentially life-saving vaccines. I also quoted what the likes of the Washington Post has said about Canada’s vaccine performance: “Canada has lagged behind the United States, Britain, Israel and others in getting shots into arms.”
And: Canada’s vaccine effort has “lacked urgency.”
And: Canada’s rollout has been “slow and chaotic.”
And: In Canada, “joy and relief have given way to exasperation.”
When this writer reported on what was said about the Trudeau government by the Washington Post — no raving, ranting right-wing rag, last time we checked — Liberal MP Adam Vaughan went bananas.
Vaughan tweeted that I was “alt-right.”
Alt-right. That’s a quote.
For the purposes of clarification, the Merriam-Webster people define “alt-right” as those who “espouse extremist beliefs and policies typically centred on ideas of White nationalism.”
Having spent more than three decades exposing and opposing the neo-Nazis, White supremacists and Hitler freaks who comprise the alt-right — and having received no shortage of death threats for same — Vaughan’s insult was a bit of a surprise. My daughter, who is Indigenous, certainly thought so, too.
After briefly conferring with David Shiller, one of Canada’s best libel lawyers, a polite note was sent to Vaughan, and — poof! — his alt-right tweet swiftly disappeared into an alt-dumpster. Vaughan posted a new tweet, proclaiming that he shouldn’t have ever, ever, ever associated Yours Truly “in any way” with the alt-right. “I thank Warren for making it clear where he stands,” Vaughan chirped.
