The reason you're seeing the provinces do a lot of things, is because health is their jurisdiction. The feds are coordinating with the provinces daily to make sure they have what they need. TBH your comment doesn't make a whole lot of sense, unless you weren't sure how health is delivered in Canada. The feds have also been doing a good job on coming up with federal aid packages: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection/canadas-reponse/government-canada-takes-action-covid-19.html Have there been mistakes? yup. Perfect? Nope. But for the most part, so far, we're doing well from a global comparison pov. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The responsible thing to do is to remove Trump from office by any means necessary before more innocent people die due to his disregard for human life. Forget locking him up, that evil piece of garbage needs to be swinging from the gallows. I don't disagree that he's an idiot. My worry is by the US gov't showing discord like this, at a time like this, people will just be encouraged to do stupid things. Its good to point out where things can be done better but when she's talking about more investigations at a time like this it looks like she cares more about removing Trump than fighting the virus.

I think the promising element is the fact that his popularity went up, right after he finally admitted to the severity of the situation. Nothing is more important to president Dotard than how popular he is, so we can hope that he continues to do the right thing....even if it is for the wrong reasons.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just leave the link here since its a long story to reprint but for some reason he started attacking GM and Ventec who are working closely and incredibly fast on scaling up ventilator production. For some reason, Trump decided it was a good idea to attack GMs CEO and criticize the effort, and then be even more confusing on sunday saying its all good. Its a pathetic effort to make people think he's "managing" the effort. Old school 1970s shake the tree style management theory. It was garbage then and its worse now. But, thankfully, some smart cookies at GM and Ventec are doing a good job anyway. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/30/business/gm-ventilators-coronavirus-trump.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's in a tough position. he seems to have listened to Fauci finally and isn't doing his disaster by Easter plan, so there's that at least. And individual states have a lot of power too. She's potentially undermining her own messaging tho. Lets say she was successful somehow in removing him tomorrow. It would throw the states into an frantic polarized state where not much would get done and potentially make things far worse. Trump needs to be voted out at this point.

You need to go back to like grade 6 Social Studies to understand that the President of the United States holds way more power than the Prime Minister. I'm not just talking about the USA being bigger and therefore having more power. The US system is designed to give the President more power compared to the CDN system.

From what I remember - it's the opposite - The senate in the US has the power. I guess you need to go back to grade six: "A US president needs to have the backing of his party and a majority in both the senate and house of representatives to exercise the same amount of legislative power that a Canadian Pm with a majority has.
