Having spoken to some experts as to the why, it appears it's because this is a Western Canada based company. It's in Calgary, so their is little interest from current government. Just a reminder how this country works, though, is the the Fed are building a facility in Montreal. Won't be ready any time soon.

But one needs to follow the money. I don't like what I am seeing here. But follow the money. We have here a very crooked government. And sorry for making this post political, but I am sick and tired of this lockdown. IF we have an in-house solution that could have emergency use, f'en us it. OMG. We can't! It's in Alberta! Perhaps fund this company in Calgary and give this vaccine a shot after you finish testing, and perhaps all of us could get a shot by July.
BUT....NO. When it comes to stuff like this, politics need to be put to the side. Who cares that Western Canada hates you? You do nothing for them. I don't blame them. But people are dying, in including people in Quebec. Get the freaking vaccine and don't make this about yourself.
And please, don't defend these actions. Follow the money.
The Providence Therapeutics story makes great headlines, but your anti-Calgary conspiracy theories are frankly pure bullshit.
Completely agree. Honestly it's ridiculous. The current government panders to Alberta to an inconceivable level. They've spent billions of our dollars on pipelines for the exclusive benefit of making Alberta's oil companies and government look better.
Certainly I have issues with the federal government but I'm so tired of the ridiculous rhetoric that they are anti Alberta.
And yes, you no doubt have a laundry list of grievances. We *ALL* do. Unless you think the liberals are anti-every part of Canada then it's just normal "I don't agree with everything the government does" because again, they do plenty of positive (if inconceivably bad policy) things for Alberta.
This rhetoric is being pushed by certain right wing parties from Alberta for political gain. They are putting party over country, and frankly party over their own province.
