OTTAWA -- Amid reports that some hospitals are rationing mask supplies amid the COVID-19 outbreak, Health Minister Patty Hajdu says Canada "likely did not have enough" personal protective equipment stockpiled ahead of this pandemic.
"I have heard those stories myself from frontline workers; I know provinces and territories are developing different sets of rules for frontline workers around the dispersement and use of personal protective equipment," Hajdu said, adding that the government is pushing hard to build up its supply of PPE.
"Our government has the money, we have the will, we have the workforce, and everybody's focus is firmly on getting PPE."
Could anyone,anywhere, have possibly known what was coming & even been able to stock “enough” medical supplies ... or any other kind of supplies for that matter. It’s ridiculous to try make this look like some political failure. Try looking for ways to encourage vs disparage
TrudeauMustGo TrudeauMustResign TrudeauMustGoToJail CORRUPT DRAMA QUEEN
you know what? i had all the symptoms of this terrible flu the last week of december and first of jan.. I stayed home and was fine. sure not if it was worth screwing up everyone’s income over
Bunch of hateful posters on here. Think they can do better or just like to bitch. Get a life
WeGaveItAway
Hajdu has been saying the wrong thing from the start. She is so incompetent that Canadians are now dying. If only the Liberals had a actual doctor in their cabinet to guide them. WHERE IS DR. JANE PHILPOTT? Oh wait, she was fired by Justin Trudeau for telling the truth...
robmarles3 ...And its Stephen Harper's fault! LiberalLogic
You’re doing a great job thank you from McCreary
GMAN0444 When your Masters in Public Administration really pays off (sarcasm)
So they gave away 16t of medical supplies to China without actually knowing or checking our emergency stocks? The plot thickens.
One needs to ask the question why send all our protective gear inventory to China when you knew this was a pandemic that was coming to Canada. You even brought the spreaders into Canada to make sure it was a Boomer Remover! Great job on culling the nursing home beds!
Lives are at stake. I need to see the top officials charged with murder. They are the reason.
Poor strategic planning !!
For what? 40,000 people have the common flu this year alone in Canada. Shaddup.
'Likely' Too busy collecting and throwing away money towards 'climate change.' Nutbars.
Wonder why after they gave 16 tonnes of it to China?
Liberals lied people died !
“ya think”
No shit, Sherlock.
.....
Shameful. TrudeauLiedCanadiansDied2020 He should resign.
16 tonnes of PPE is a hell of a lot. Of course CTV, CBC, and other Trudeau approved state sponsored media will do everything they can to keep their share of the stolen $595 million stolen tax payer dollars that could have been used to help our Vets and many other projects.
Likely?😄😄😄 So, not sure.
Mmmmm I wonder why Right I remember now you sent it all to China!! CTV news won’t tell u that though!! FAKE NEWS!! JT propaganda machine strikes again!
Sad really sad. Maybe sending all the supplies to China was a TERRIBLE decision.
PattyHajdu How about gross negligence and incompetence. Flip flopping around like a fish out of water on critical life saving measures & decisions in covid19Canada. Pathetic health minister...with no qualified medical degree. Pattyliedpeopledied cdnpoli
Thanks to JustinTrudeau for sending 16 tons of our supplies to China during a Pandemic. TrudeauIsNotFitForOffice
Likely? lol
Lol. Ya think?
Sure excoriated Trump and the US for the same...
You misspelled definitely.
I'm set
She also is not qualified to run a whorehouse
Please... Remind me how much protective equipment was sent to China again by Trudeau's Liberals?.. I'm sorry.. what was that. You don't know nothing about it. Oh, Okay!. LMAO
This represents the inept Minister of Healthcare acknowledging the entire previous 5 years were a abject disaster. She also janks the rug from under Skippies high heels
Well than Justin Trudeau should not have given our supply to China. It is not about helping your neighbors but helping your own first
We did have enough until the Federal clowns decided to send 16 tonnes of it to China.
That’s cuz she was busy picking out curtains for her office 🙄
Hajdu is a clown. She basically flew by the seat of her pants, fibbed, and pulled fake numbers out of her arse. Most of us knew that Hospitals were NOT equipped. Should have closed the border and ban travel to begin with. Who are your so-called experts you rely on?
Please resign as a matter of fact all the liberal minions resign Corruption is definitely the liberals strength trudeaumustgo
But of course it will be Harper's fault.
...and this my friends is why Patty Hajdu failed in Marketing......
No sh.t Sherlock yet they gave tonnes of it away to China
She can’t keep her story straight.... either we have enough equipment or we don’t...... what’s it going to be? Make up your mind... lives are been lost!!!! WAKE up. No time now for incompetence
One day we do one day we don’t ... maybe yes , maybe no...... what a sad collection of politicians running this country
Harper Harper Harper
PattyHajdu Likely didn’t have enough? We obviously didn’t and don’t have enough. Take some responsibility for the actions of your party!
But send what we did have to China .... Dipshits
Resign PattyHajdu You are way over your head
Lies. Lies. We can't believe a word you say. Lies. Lies. You're lying to us every day. We're saving every post of yours. You're going to go to jail. Lies. Lies. Lies.
ResignPattyHajdu TrudeauMustResign You ought to be tried for criminal negligence causing death in Canadian courts.Your exposure 2 Communist China's CCP $ is responsible 4 not closing borders,not quarantining arrivals,for giving our PPEs to CCP. Your corruption kills COVID19
jennifer_cirka As the Minister Of Health PattyHajdu one would expect you to have known this in February when your liberal_party gave away 16 tons of medical supplies even after Canada’s first case of coronavirus Jan 25th. TrudeauMustResign TrudeauTraitor TrudeauLiedCanadiansDied2020
Uh oh. You’re off script Hajdu. You’ll be hearing from your masters in the PMO and WHO
You think?! 🤦♀️
Has she blamed that on Harper yet; or is that coming tomorrow?
The liberal way.
Yet we shipped 16 tons to China.
Not surprised, I had to buy knock offs. Ridiculous
Likely did not? Even worse they had at least 2 month to see this was coming and didn't start procurement until just days ago
The media still protecting this unqualified mess as well as PMblackface. Traitors all the way around.
Ya think?
noshit
This is why we pay her the big bucks, folks.
You mean gave it away. There fixed it for you.
Likely or certainly?
Boy Hajdu is really quick to pick things up. Her statement was simply brilliantly insightful,,,duh
And if this gentle critique is coming from it needs to be multiplied by a factor of 5 to accurately convey the magnitude of this blunder
So... she lied?
When will people realize that Trudeau and his Government refuse to tell the truth about their incompetence!! They are convinced if they feed us all this daily BS we will believe them, thats how cults convert the followers!!
You jokers gave it away.
She’ll also be a scapegoat when this is over but deservedly so...
The boxes of masks didnt Match her $250000 curtains
You live....you learn
And while she discouraged Canadians from buy their own supplies this happened (which she applauded) 👇🏼
Soooo, this was a lie 👇🏼
What a statement to make when you already know the answer to that.
Ya think? 🤦♀️
Not having enough PPE is a million times worse than having too much PPE.
I’ll give Trudeau/Hajdu a partial pass on sending PPE to China. Trying to contain the virus there was the right strategy and sensing PPE could have helped. Not doing more to contain it there was the mistake.
WHY, you may ask......Cause Justine GAVE it all away at the beginning of this PLANNED-demic
Today's 'No Sh*t, Sherlock' award goes to PattyHajdu!
Masks4all. It really saves lives. Dear friends, Facing a severe outbreak，Europe mandates that everyone who goes out must wear a mask. Please help to send the video to your communities to learn about how face masks helps prevent COVID 19 spread.
She apparently doesn’t know wj\\heathers she’s coming or going .
Do you guys seriously ever have anything positive to report ,,
TrudeauLiedPeopleDied
Incompetence
You not she blamed previous governments even though it's the liberals second term Guess when they said rmthey had plenty earlier they were lying Same as the health doctor saying hospitalization for under 40 was 30% when she knew it was between 9 and 12 Liars all
Blaming past governments.
You think?
Is it too late to tell. You failed your duty.
It’s true we didn’t but who knew a world pandemic was coming? I think your doing a great job to get what is needed. We know it’s it’s still going to get worst. Thank you for great guidelines to keep us safe. Now if people would just follow them. 🙏 Besafe. PattyHajdu
When your government gives away 216 tonnes of it, NO SHIT.
This is what happens when you have a graphic artist as a health minister. Total incompetence, the entire liberal caucus.
Other countries having a half-baked pandemic plan does not give you the right to have one as well. This is one of the most feeble excuse I have ever heard from a government.
Hopefully we've learnt our lesson & make sure we are prepared enough...this is likely not the last pandemic...
There is no “likely” about this. Not even a little. My husband has been rationed 3 masks per 18 hour shift
Time to start producing protective equipment in Canada for the long term..
More like truedough gave it all to China!
What was your 1st clue PattyHajdu ? But I distinctly remember hearing over and over that after SARS Canada was 'prepared'................. Next!
No kidding and perhaps we should not ah e sent 16 tonnes of PPE to China a couple weeks ago in the middle of a pandemic? trudeaIncompetenceKills
Ya think? PattyHajdu shameful
My Canadian Company can make 100,000 face shields a day.... we have contacted all levels of government and no one is responding.... USA is currently buying some😞
NavdeepSBains said Canada was called upon to help China. We sent 16K tons of equipment. So if we didn't have enough protective equipment for ourselves...than someone should answer for that reckless decision.
This liberal government is dangerous for Canadians! No confidence with this federal liberal government !
COVID19Canada Should Justin Trudeau and his Gov. be sued by VICTIMS FAMILies for Gross negligence for NO HEALTH CONTROLS at Airports & Roxam Rd illegal border entry and also for lack of planning & coordination of MEDICAL SUPPLY ? PierrePaulHus PierrePoilievre nationalpost
No country or province or state were ready .Now we know better we you can do better In the future.
So Trudeau lied at his 20 minute campaign update this morning when he said we have enough in our stockpile? Good to know
So the why in the FUCK 😡 did our government ship 16 tonnes of it to China? 😡 😡
No kidding you useless interior designer.
PattyHajdu Twitter January 24, 2020. Lied!
JLCWood2017 Was that even before we gave it away? fireThemAll
Liberals are useless scums. We all knew it. Never rely on government.
WTF! PattyHajdu Twitter January 24, 2020 👇🏻 SHE IS ABSOLUTELY INCOMPETENT! RESIGNPATTYHAJDU
And traitor Trudeau gave what we had to the communist Chinese.
But we sure have a stock pile of incapable federal government leaders.
They are all liars.
Good. She has admitted guilt. Let's take her to court. See if we can drive these Liberals into poverty. We may have a class action against Wynne for spending our money on her green energy scam
And who’s fault was that ?! Liberal gov’t who sent our stockpile to China, the country that has two men held hostage & refuses our Canola & pork. Fault lies at your feet PattyHajdu
Then why in the blue hell did she send 16 tonnes of our equipment. To the disgusting Commies who are making the world sick?
Neither did the states
PattyHajdu Please step down and resign already. Take Tam with you. We need people there who know wtf they are doing and are not simply puppets.
pattyhajdu Excuses coming from the HEALTH minister. Why did China get 16 tons of our stuff? Go away.
What the criminals at CTV aren't telling you 👇
Didn’t the Liberals give away a ton of stuff a few months ago?
Let me rewrite that for you, Minister: 'Of course we did not have a large enough stockpile. No western government did.'
Wearing a mask would definitely be something she should consider.
Oh, was that before or after they shipped 16 tons of medical equipment to China?
Do you think Trudeau figured out she’s a graphic artist yet?
What an idiot. It took her that long to announce what the medical community have been telling us for weeks?
So which countries stockpiled enough supplies? USA? Italy? Spain? France? UK? Germany? the list is long me thinks. And as for shipping China supplies they have shipped it back in case anyone bothers to read
Which explains why Trudeau's propagandists are telling us that masks don't work. They've been misinforming us from day one. TrudeauIsNotFitForOffice
Incredible the drivel spewed by these Libturd so called Cabinet Ministers
Instead of outsourcing everything to China make it in Canada
No surprise. Health budgets are an easy target for cuts at any level of government whether federal, P/T, municipal....& worst case scenario planning usually gets replaced with midground planning due to costs. Doubt public health planning will ever be easy to dismiss again.
is that before or after shipping 16 tones of equipment to China?
This one didn't age well either... Am I surprised? No.
We seem to have plenty of heroin though here in Vancouver free for junkies.
Thank Trudeau for that!
Which raises the question as to why her government sent equipment to Communist China in February. Of course CTV liberals won’t dare ask that question.
Likely?
Now go back to Justin Trudeau's 20 minutes of campaigning today where he said they have enough in stockpile. The left doesn't know what the left is doing that's why Canadians have no faith in what we are being told
What a high iq statement
Especially when Trudeau gave away 16 tonnes of it to China. China caused this mess.
Context please. She said no one stays in pandemic preparation mode and no one anywhere has enough supplies for the sudden onset of this virus. Who can afford to have that much fear in stock all the time?
JustinTrudeau
Now that is an understatement
The weak willed Trudeau gang was incompetent, ignorant and just stupid not seeing what was happening in Wahun China in mid January. They sent over doctors and others to get the info.
Stating the obvious. Low IQ.
This does not age well. Less than two months ago, Hajdu said she is prepared for coronavirus.
Oh and why is that Because you clearly stood firm and downplayed this virus back in Jan? You thought it wont spread outside of China?
All in the Canadian Government need to be arrested, along with all the heads at the news medias. Traitors selling out the lives of Canadians to please an enemy IMO
SeakasPerson PattyHajdu is a farce. This woman has no clue at all. She can spend over 1 million on her office renovations though. She needs to be fired ASAP
She has an astonishing grasp of the obvious.
No. They gave it to China
Maybe they shouldn’t have sent it all to China then?
PattyHajdu We have a 2nd pandemic, a flood of incompetent politicians.
This was the headline you choose from the conference this morning? It’s clickbate and denigrating leaders who are doing so much to make sure we are prepared.
Something we all knew after giving away 16 tons of it!!! This has to be political suicide at this point.
How can she still working at this position?
We seem to have an abundance of incompetent unqualified politicians though.
No shit
Of course we don't, Liberals are in charge.
Likely did not🤔
Now we start learning the truth.
