Yep, and they are typically the ones who are also less likely to receive any sort of decent homeschooling as well.

Looks like the Oxford vaccine supply to the EU has been significantly cut for a few months - which cant be good news.

You should make one.

Although in my province the provincial level politicians seem to mostly be following the rules, but to be fair most of the rules are not being put in place in BC by politicians but by the public health officer who has broad powers in a pandemic.

Pfizer vaccine for Canada comes from Belgium, yes.

Astra Zeneca is not approved in Canada so haven't received any deliveries of it.

OK Wonder if EU will have words with Pfizer?

I saw a mention of a Canadian casino owner who flew up to one of the reservations to get a jab, is there supposed to be an age limit for those not in prime categories?

Looks like they claimed to work in a isolated community where people have priority even if younger, and also broke the Yukon COVID-19 isolation rules and such.

The fines likely are not steep enough to keep the rich from breaking rules, only normal people are affected by fines. When I did parking patrolling in Whistler, the nicer and more expensive the car the less likely they paid for parking, the worse the car looked the higher probability they paid for parking, it was very consistent like this each and every day for months I worked there, was too consistent to just be random coincidences.

Listening to BBC this morning and EU are it seems looking to block Pfizer as well.

Canada will likely pay the price of not being capable of producing domestically.

Time will tell. But I am keeping my options open. If I have to return to the US to get the vaccine, I will.

From the above link...

The former president and CEO of a Canadian casino company and his wife are the couple accused of breaking Yukon COVID-19 rules and chartering a plane to the small community of Beaver Creek to receive doses of the Moderna vaccine.

Rodney Baker, a 55-year-old who resigned from the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation on Sunday, and Ekaterina Baker, a 32-year-old aspiring actress, both received tickets at the Whitehorse airport on Jan. 21, according to court records.
They just put the people of Beaver Creek at risk.. by breaking Covid rules..
Hmmm Rich older gent and his 'aspiring actress' 32 year old wife
Typical...

I keep thinking about who charters that plane and how they advertise.

Got a secret trip you want to make? Don't want the authorities knowing what you're up to?
We'll fly you to Mexico, Colombia, Iraq, New Zealand...anywhere you want, under the radar, avoiding immigration, customs controls, isolation requirements.
No paperwork needed. No questions asked. Cash accepted.

I am sure the drug dealers could help you, I know people who work in that sector and it much more mundane. Still have to do Immigration etc.

Even the large Airports have private terminals:
