Have you not been paying attention to how we obtained COVID vaccines the past 2 years? Why is this any different?
And after that, yes it is absolutely also a provincial problem.
But blows me away that people are making excuses for Health Canada, a federal organization, when they have literally come out and said they have actually managed to get off their ass and managed to secure some supply on certain items.

I’m not making excuses for Health Canada. I just believe(d) that procurement for a pandemic vaccine (under health emergency rules) was different than normal day to day procurement.
If it is not, then my bad, but being involved with Shoppers Drug Mart or London Drugs (or your neighbourhood pharmacy) buying and stocking Tylenol, Advil, and Ventolin (to add in one more medicine) from their respective private vendors would not be something they are usually involved with.
This empty shelves situation is certainly not normal but whether that allows or mandates them to get involved is outside the realm of my knowledge.
— also it has nothing to do with Liberals vs Conservatives
