TORONTO -- When surveying the COVID-19 landscape in Canada, one province stands out.
Quebec has nearly twice as many confirmed cases of the disease as any other province, and more than 1,000 more related deaths than Ontario, the only other province with a total anywhere close., Quebec stands out even more. One out of every 250 Quebecers has tested positive for COVID-19. In Alberta, which has done more testing per capita, that figure stands at approximately one out of every 750 residents. In Ontario, it's one out of every 800. No other province comes close.
"It's a difficult situation, because clearly what's going on in Montreal is very different than what's happening in much the rest of the province."Unlike most other parts of the country, where new COVID-19 caseloads are generally decreasing, Quebec's daily numbers have been holding steady since mid-April, according to Jay Kaufman, an epidemiology professor at McGill.
"We haven't really gotten much better or much worse, which probably isn't good news," Kaufman told CTV's Your Morning on Thursday. But it isn't just numbers that make the novel coronavirus pandemic seem different in Quebec than anywhere else in Canada. The province has attracted criticism for

Because you dummies, Quebec knows who is vulnerable. Protect the vulnerable and move on. Better too early than too late.
I totally agree.
MONEY,MONEY,MONEY..........
Because they realize there will be no vaccine.
Let's just make sure they stay in their own province.
How selfish and inconsiderate to let their citizens be free and go out and earn a living and pay their mortgage and save for their kids education and pay taxes What an inconsiderate selfish bunch of bastards they are

Because there as dumb as a post in Quebec!
If only Trudeau had acted fast and decisively like South Korea, we would have a VERY LOW FLAT infection rate...the mess Canada is in is entirely attributed to Trudeau’s inability to LEAD and simply do NOTHING and follow the clueless WHO who believed EVERYTHING China told them!!!
