The first responsibility of the People's Republic of China is to its people. That's why it reacted quickly to COVID-19, taking action that led to the near-elimination of the pandemic. There wasn't this nonsense talk we have here about "well, we have to fight the pandemic but we also need to keep the economy going." Saving the people saves the economy, and it didn't happen here. We don't have a People's Republic.
We are now in the pathetic situation where the Canadian army is called in to address public health crises. We need a wall-to-wall array of medical services geared towards ordinary Canadians. Not for profits, not for private interests, but for the people. People like Linda McQuaig chronicled the shutdown and selloff of public medical assets long before the pandemic.
The Canadian government should resign. But since it hasn't, the parties should unite to fight COVID. Not like the United States, which is a partisan contest between two incompetent parties. Canada needs popular mobilization on this issue, but the CLC is missing-inaction. Meanwhile, health-care workers bear the brunt of the pandemic.
