What should Canada’s response be to the USA not allowing 3M to export PPEs?
This will cost Canadian lives.
Personally, I think it will be a medium-long term distancing. If we can retaliate immediately by withholding medical devices/aid, etc then we should. If this gets a lot worse in the USA and peters out in Canada (assuming we took earlier precautions, which I think we did), we should not send medical equipment OR personnel there to help.
The medical professionals who commute across the border (Windsor-Detroit) should not be allowed to cross the border to go to their jobs.
Longer term, Canada needs to work on distancing from the USofA.... pull out of NORAD, for instance.
Next time America has a 9/11 type incident, we need to remember how we were treated by our supposed ally during this pandemic.
Thoughts?
