If we had gotten vaccines, Quebec would not have had a curfew preventing families from getting together and children from going to school.
If we had been able to vaccinate at the same rate as the United States, at least 26% of Canadians would have already gotten both doses.

Why was the Prime Minister not able to get vaccines to Canadians in January and February, to prevent the third wave we are in right now?
