Hi,

Then why not let the Mexico and Canada PAY us for them?

Vaccines on loan?

That sounds like foolishness to me!

While every country must look after its own citizens you can also help in the global fight too.

Canada, like the USA looks after its citizens while not forgetting to share with other global communities. Its a matter of supply and balance.

It does you no good to vaccinate only your population if the whole world is sick ... new strains are mutating daily that your vaccine may not offer effective protection for.

Global problems require global solutions.

Hi,

Fine, but how about being paid for them?

Canada and Mexico seem to have plenty of cash available after Trump's new trade agreement.

China should pay for it all!!!

Canada HAS already paid for them but from AstraZeneca India.

AstraZeneca is back logged with production orders from all over the world so in an agreement with AstraZeneca America and your POTUS it was decided (by your president) that the USA would 'loan' the back ordered doses to Canada in order to save lives by getting the vaccine into your fellow mans arms ASAP.

Once India has caught up on the Canadian back order the 'doses' would be shipped to the USA not Canada thus paying back the loan. No money was ever lost here Sieger ... it is simple slight of hand. A way to speed up needed medical attention for friends .

In the end this is just political smoke and mirrors to cover the fact that political adversaries would use this human gesture to weaponize against your POTUS's good deed.

JMHO

Hi,

Of course you are welcome to your own opinion, but on the other hand, so am I.

I suppose you think that our POTUS is a great friend of Canada, and is so willing to do good deeds for you (our fellow man). What about the hundreds of billions of dollars he so quickly denied Canada when he cancelled your pipeline?

And no, i don't believe in the "Global Warming Theory" either, despite what our socialist "believe" is so apparently true.

India has the second largest population in the world, so yes, no doubt, they have their own back orders to catch up on.

Do we need yet another additional vaccine approved for U.S. distribution?

Obviously not, according to Biden's press conference of this week.

I have no idea why your so angry at me !!!
No ... I do not like your President but I don't like Trudeau either.
No ... I am not a socialist.
Global warming ?? who knows but I think its just a normal earth cycle ... but I reserve the right to be wrong.
Anyway at my age I don't really care.

You are accusing Canada as somehow being responsible for YOUR presidents actions ... that we have somehow stolen from you personally !!!

I have merely pointed out to you why I think Biden did what he did.
Not defending him because again ... I DON'T CARE.

I have NO issue with you and I don't want one either.

Peace brother :) I just want to talk about Lugers.

Luv you 2 cirelaw for real :D

I think the rich Florida landowners who keep moving around and spending tens of thousands on hurricane repairs should pay for it all... :thumbup:

In 30 years we never spent money on hurricane repairFlorida is self sufficient. The hurricane mostly hit in the states! We only had Andrew which was a category one!!!! We have storm shutters and generators! People move here for no in state come or estate tax!

personally know of 6 retired ex co workers that retired to different parts of Florida - all moved to PA. , AL. , or DE. in less then 6 years -

I lived 3 years in PA Villanova Law School and 43 years in NJ, Since 1985 here in Fla. True its hot in the summer but almost everywhere is! Ask them why and what part, please This was our back yard and front!

That So True! We get allot of Canadians They always drive slow in the passing lane! Snow Birds!

Nice try cirelaw & sheepherder but I'm not biting http://i.imgur.com/NXpGI.gif

No offence to our neighbors up north meant!

Alex Trebek (on Jeopardy) once explained that Spanish explorers looking for the source of the Colorado River asked what was further North.

The local Indigenous people said "Ca Nada" nothing

Even Canadians told me that "North of 7 isn't heaven" when I was driving up to Algonquin park for canoeing
