Trudeau showing his lack of competence

It was easily foreseen that suddenly Canada is pulling vaccines from an entity that was designed to provide Vaccines to countries who could not afford to purchase them.
In fact, the signals have been sent by our illustrious Prime Minister for months. The only thing I do not understand about this Prime Minister is why he did not do his Mr. Dressup routine every time he came out of his residence to speak to the media? Why not come out in Punjabi dress heralding that Canada has nine doses of vaccine per person, then the next day, dress in Inuit garb and do it all over again?
The most predominant signal that the Liberals are “nothing but deck chairs on the Titanic” is the need to keep the contracts with Pharma’s secret.
Knowing the propensity to seek spotlight whenever the PM can, one would expect if the contracts were the gold standard of wisdom, he would be parading them around like a rooster who just got his daily grooming.”Coloured socks cannot save anyone”, only the vaccine can!
So it’s now a matter of picking the space in time where the least amount of incompetence is displayed to the public, for our election. Obviously the Moderna stall of vaccine caused the COVAX pull so Trudeau could try to demonstrate some agility in looking competent?
So the window of opportunity to “look like” you know what you are doing is closing. If he gets to April and vaccines start showing up in size and it looks like he can appear competent for a month or two, then it’s a summer election.
So the next step will to do a little cry and promise more of our taxpayer money to bribe you for your vote. No matter the direction, “incompetence is reining supreme”!
