Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canadian companies are now producing so much personal protective equipment needed in the fight against COVID-19 that Canada is almost at the point of being self-sufficient.

He'll underscore that contention today with a visit to a Kanata, Ont., brewery that has retooled to make hand sanitizer during the pandemic.

He touted the various federal financial support programs aimed at helping businesses survive the pandemic-induced economic shutdown and to promote innovation to help fight the disease. Indeed, Trudeau said so many have stepped up that "even as, like every country, we're having to import massive amounts of PPE because we didn't have enough from the beginning, we're now getting to a place where we're close to self-sufficient on that and able to turn around and share with the world, particularly the developing world."

China is the dominant supplier of PPE. With the outbreak starting in that country, there was a severe shortage of equipment as the disease first started spreading around the world in March. Countries were out-bidding one another for supplies that were often never delivered.

While Trump eyes tariffs, Americans really want more Canada - Macleans.caA new poll of U.S. attitudes show that Americans want less 'America first' and a lot more Canada. A third of them would even prefer to live here. Lets invade them😂 And there is about 1/3 of extreme far left radical Antifa and BLM hate group supporters in the USA. Remember folks, when you donate to BLM, blacks don’t get any money, 95% of it goes to white democrat politicians. Quick, build a hedge. 😂
