Canada's vaccination rate lags far behind the US. Canada has approximately 2% of their population fully vaccinated, while the US has over 20% fully vaccinated. The US is administering 4,000,000 doses a day, which is one for every 82 citizens while Canada is administering 270,000 doses a day, or one dose for every 139 residents.
In Canada, the 7 day moving average of new cases has risen from 2850 March 1st to over 7800 as of April 9th. In the US, where restrictions have been loosened dramatically, the 7 day moving average of cases has actually fallen from March 1st's rate of 67,000 per day to the current 65,000 per day.
Maybe the US isn't so bad after all.

Canada doesn’t have vaccine manufactures, so we have to purchase ours from other countries from around the world. There has been disruption in the delivery of vaccine from around the world to Canada and the Provinces.
Now if you want to talk about good Canadian Beer, we have plenty of that with enough on hand to ensure every beer drinker in Canada is fully equipped for camping getaways
I rest my case.
Soup.

Canada purchased their vaccines by quarters. X amount of vaccines to be delivered in each. This allowed the providers to delay deliveries to the end of each quarter. Oops. Canada also took steps to negotiate lower prices causing suppliers to naturally sell allocations to higher bidders. Bargain basement shoppers often get only the leftovers.
