Trudeau has actually done a pretty good job. Canadians vote primarily for good governance, not ideology.
Same as Europe, every province in Canada is it's own 'nation', and Covid is nowhere near as rampant in Canada, as it is in Europe. We still have an economy, functioning emergency benefits, and a rational approach. Sure it might have been better, but neither of us is having to manage this, and monday-morning quarterbacks know squat.
We now have schools and day-cares open, somewhat allowing women the ability to work again. Sure It's cold season and it means more Covid, but that's life - get over it. It's a pandemic. > 70% of the population are going to get Covid, all that authorities can do is manage the curve so that everyone can access treatment when the time comes. If you want piece of mind, get the flu shots that are being rolled out, and save yourself a trip.
We now have the experience of the first wave, and have had months to build ventilators, stock up on PPE, develop treatments, and put plans in place. Sure they might not be the best, but tbey don't have to be - they just have to be 'good enough'. Do what's asked of you, when you're asked, and we should all do as well as possible. Of course, If you think you're special - there are folks behind the barn who would like to meet you.
The various Covid measures in place, are essentially 'war time' measures. But unlike 'war time', families are not receiving the body bags of dead sons, daughters, aunts and uncles, and hearing the horror stories as to what is happening on the front lines. We don't have that, and as a result - the seriousness of Covid isn't penetrating.
Perhaps its time a DAILY Covid, and suicides, death-list of name, age, and location was scrolled on the national news, or published in the daily papers.
Look it up daily to see if there's someone you know. Few are going to posture their 'invincibility' when it makes you look like a walking corpse, and fewer super-spreaders = lower infection rates.
Different strokes.
