Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pushing back against Ontario Premier Doug Ford's accusation that the federal government's procurement of COVID-19 vaccines is a joke.

Trudeau took a poke at Ford during a virtual Liberal fundraiser Wednesday night with Procurement Minister Anita Anand, who is in charge of securing vaccines for Canada.

Until now, wary of further production interruptions like those that delayed Canada's supply of vaccines in February, Trudeau has been unwilling to go beyond his months-old promise that all Canadians who want a vaccine will get one by the end of September. "We do not have enough vaccines from the federal government and it's a joke," Ford complained, accusing Trudeau's government of "dropping the ball majorly."

"I said, 'No, no, Doug, you can count on that, we're going to get them because Anita has told me we will,"' Trudeau said.

When you screw up as badly as fordnation has you blame others - very trumpian style of management FordFailedThePeople

The Feds and Provinces all failed! I can accept that procurement is impacted by the fact we don’t produce vaccines in Canada. But the rollout is a joke! Provinces had a year, since last March to work on a roll-out. Could have developed and practiced/drills for months prior.

Both are sad examples of leadership. Now they’re just fighting over who the unlucky one will be first overall

Ford’s finger pointing is not working for most Ontarians. We are not fooled. It will never be a substitute for leadership!!

These two need to collaborate on vaccine reducing hesitancy, the real problem. Why are they squabbling about who was “less bad” on the vaccine front instead? This helps no one, failing less bad than someone else isn't success.

He knows Ford is trying to shift responsibility for the circus in Ontario 😷🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇨🇦

Thats right trudeau. Ford has some nerve

It’s not surprising he is trying to focus blame elsewhere instead of being accountable for the provincial government’s terrible management of this pandemic.....the entire province is going back into “lockdown” for the third time today...

He can 'push back' all 'he' wants-the truth is the truth...

Good

Like Trump, Trudeau takes no responsibility for anything. He is not a leader. Everything can’t be fixed with a wink, a smile and a photo!

Hard to think Trudeau did a good job on procuring vaccines when Canada has given a shot to only 14 out of 100 people and sits in about 67th place globally.

Only Justin would praise such a dismal performance on vaccines as an “incredible” job after over 20,000 Canadians have died and people die every day because of lack of vaccines.

That’s bc JustinTrudeau is a clown who think he’s running a circus 🎪

He had all the time in the world to plan the rollout for Ontario. Due to his own incompetence he’s pointing the finger He’s a disgrace of a premier and there’s only one comparable.

On what grounds? Let's take a peek at the numbers from the rest of the G7. Only one of our peer countries have done worse than us. We’re the second place losers and we’re being sent to lockdown again. 🤷‍♂️ Failure is an understatement.

I don't know, he should not push back too hard ... not sure why it will tak so long for all Canadains to be vaccinated. Not like the feds had over a year to secure vaccines.

you have nothing to push back with but post holes.

No matter what Feds say, there is not enough vaccine coming into Canada to vaccinate the pop fast enough. One dose by Sept is not good enough. We need 2 doses sooner than 4 mos apart or risk that the first doses were wasted, especially for 65+ due to weaker immune systems.

Good. All fordnation does is point fingers and blame others. Come to think of it, that's all any Concervative government does. Why are they like this? It's infuriating because we absolutely need a balance of Concervatism and Liberalism. But Concervatives have become a joke!

Something didn’t go right about vaccines and orders , times will let us to know

TrudeauFailedCanada

Was this before or after Moderna delay, and J&J scrapping 15 billion doses due to bad batch at Baltimore plant?

Everything will return to normal once we all take the fun time happy vaccine!

Trudeau pushes back against Premier Ford’s criticism of federal vaccine procurementPrime Minister says Procurement Minister Anita Anand has worked ‘unbelievably hard’ No shock there. He's golden boy Trudeau ...can't accept any blame This Federal-provincial spat is silly. Both levels of government seem more concerned with posturing for an election than overcoming this pandemic and completing vaccinations. In the real world, we get judged by our results, not our effort. Not surprising Trudeau doesn't understand that.
