Canada: One million respirators acquired from China unfit for coronavirus fight

A spokesperson for Procurement Minister Anita Anand said four flights carrying N95 respirators, surgical masks, coveralls and testing reagent from China managed to arrive in Canada last weekend with their cargo. The government has been expecting more plane loads to land in Canada from China this week.

Earlier this week, Conservative MP Chris Lewis asked Health Minister Patty Hajdu in the House of Commons if Canada had experienced problems with PPE from China as had been reported by other countries. "Yes... some of the equipment we received was not suitable for medical care workers, and we are looking at that equipment to see if it can be re-purposed for other kinds of workers who do not need the same level of protection," Hajdu said in her response."Although such products are non-compliant with the specifications for the front-line healthcare response, they are subsequently assessed to determine potential use in non-healthcare settings," Morrissette said.

Burn all the faulty masks. You send them back to China they're gonna try to sell it to someone else. They have no morals.

maybe because you bougth from the Mafia?

More sabotage.

KN95 respirators are not N95 respirators. Were you sent the wrong ones or did you order the wrong ones? Not the same quality or protection according to specs on these masks.

Quality is more important than amount. Canada should ban the low quality product from CCP China, and co-work with Taiwan to fight WuhanCoronaVirus Covid_19 . TaiwanCanHelp TaiwanIsHelping libphil_

Th et Canadians have not yet started the production of their masks themselves?

maggieNYT That's cuz ccp is the enemy of the world. R u really surprised?

ladevita12 Was he surprised? Italy Slovenia Netherlands all bought defects Why didnt Canada make use of then Nafta now USMCA & instal much of Canada´s manufacturing in Mexico & lower countries

kn95本来就是民用标准，不适合一线医务人员使用，这是很简单的道理。买的时候不懂？还是故意碰瓷？kn95的防护执行标准和n95是两回事！艹，这脑子！

Bull anti-China propaganda. Why can’t Canada make them for themselves then to meet their “standards”. Too useless? Lazy?leo_shane

maggieNYT Hmm. I can’t think of the last time I got a product made in China and it was a bit shit. 🤔😏

UROCKlive1 Cancel the check

Trusting Chinese products is over! Pay more for made in your country

21schilling 😂😂😂😂 👍🏻👍🏻when will you say the virus is a scam?

maggieNYT Omg

Is China to trying to tell us something? Hope they get their money back

UROCKlive1 I hate it generalize, but the Chinese under their current prez is nothing but a dictator. He calls the shots. He just portrays a more subtle pic than prez ji jing ping

China you are really starting to piss me off ! BuyCanadianMade

MarkOfTheRedX Canada needs to be able to make our own masks and respirators.

UROCKlive1 Not shocking whatsoever. We are completely fucked

UROCKlive1 🤭😳🤬😭🙏🙏🙏🙏

UROCKlive1 Hope we didn’t pay!!!

Stop buying from China.

Made in China! What else did you think you'll get?

Wow. Might that little prick have to beg trump for some of ours? I can’t wait to sit on these sidelines. realDonaldTrump RealCandaceO GeraldoRivera TuckerCarlson DonaldJTrumpJr BreitbartNews

JustinTrudeau, it’s SHOCKING!

maggieNYT There’s a surprise.

LMAO stupid liberals

China can not be trusted they are a lot of fake things from there even corona death figures are might be fake

Not comforting.

maggieNYT Made in China. Gotta love it.

What can we expect from the CCP? They have a saying 'too young, too simple, sometimes naive, got it?

It’s not China’s fault. It’s the fault of our country and other countries that continue to purchase subpar shit from China. Capitalism is going to be the death of the US and other countries

The Chinese communists are going to kill us one way or another.

Moral of the story is don't buy stuff from the country that gave you the disease your looking to protect yourself from. Duh!

Welp

Hope they didn’t pay the invoice yet.

Official: Canada shooting erupted after domestic disputeTORONTO (AP) — Canada’s worst mass shooting started as a domestic dispute between the gunman and his girlfriend, who survived the attack, a police official said late Thursday. The official... condolences to all who we caught in the middle..😞 I imagine what vernacular they would use if he was a Muslim or poc. I highly doubt it would say “gunman”. Nothing makes me angrier than senseless murder and men who think they own their (former) lovers. Heinous, indelible wrong.
