An opportunity for Canadian leadership.
@cathmckenna It would require a commitment to equity. It would require a commitment to science. We don’t have a commitment to either of those fundamental principles in many regions of Canada, sadly. There is an opportunity for local and provincial leadership as well as global leadership.
@cathmckenna Do any Canadian corporations own COVID antivirus patents?
@cathmckenna So... "enabling agreements with manufacturers" involves making *transparent* agreements that are not hidden away from public scrutiny, right?
@cathmckenna Canada lacks patents to share, but must raise its game on vaccine donations & purchases thru #COVAX, build Global South’s capacity to deliver shots in arms, overcome vaccine hesitancy, and get all Canadians vaxxed & boosted. .@moderna_tx not enforcing its patents during pandemic
@cathmckenna Bob's ideas would carry a lot more clout in some quarters if he didn't block people over mild disagreements.
@oasis1948 @cathmckenna I think it's misguided "efficiency", ie. "this person is muddying my debate" or something. I was following him because I share many of his views & appreciate his perspective on Canadian issues. 🤷
@oasis1948 @cathmckenna So you're saying I don't know how to temper my comments according to context & the specifics of the issue under discussion? Maybe you should block me and get it over with. 😀
