Whats more disappointing is Trudeau refusing to exclude tax haven registered companiea from the bailout
buttbuttpartywagon
Thankfully canada sent china aid, now we are seeing a good return!
Ikingg
Did they buy at 99% discount ? Way.com ?
BagofWeed
Dumb ass for sending ppe to china in feb and getting knock off sent back stop dealing with china dumb ass

An economy driven world will just bury this and keep going on like it never happened. Good forbid the people and their health come first!
gurlsnuggler
Doesn’t Canada buy masks from the US and supply raw materials for them?
arsetechnica
Canada supplies the materials but the order was seized by the US and redistributed internally... it's a clusterf-ck all round.
gurlsnuggler
It’s time to clutch pearls and pretend to be upset Canada inspected spare supplies for what they could use.
zzpacksmasher
Oh what about all the, "See US, China is so helpful. We are soooo diplomatic." China is a fucking cancer on this world.
sa5cff9r5h101
China sucks, Theirs is coming for spreading China Virus Worldwide. Fact!
iHeartninjaturtles
China makes garbage products. Their stuff is ok if you want a plastic ruler/some mittens. But nothing important-no baby food or respirators.
FakeContext
I wish when people posted articles they would include the date of publication or the sauce at the very least
barnwolf
It's annoying when you realize you're just reading a differently worded article everyday about something that happened weeks ago.
Potatoes2323
STOP USING CHINESE PRODUCTS I normally to use all caps.. but come on people
dropbear128
If it weren't for China being known for making "Cheap Low Quality Shit" I would say they are doing this on purpose.
ispentwaytoolongthinkingaboutthis
Not respirators... masks. Get it right.
TheElementSong
N95s are also called respirators, it’s confusing, they shouldn’t have said that in the headline, masks would have been easier to understand
bambulina
I'd love to say that I'm surprised, but years of using Chinese manufactured goods in the US has taught me better. Shame we're still fucked.
JimmyKrackKorn
Made in China, what do you want?
PickledDundersnoot
It's almost like cheap goods made in China with cut corners, or as counterfeit/trademark infringement are exactly that.
Munchman347
Wait, does that mean all the Walmart Chinese shit is unreliable and cheaply made crap?...
sa5cff9r5h101
Yes
faultysage
Why did Canada buy non-compliant masks?
sa5cff9r5h101
A mask at all times will infect one with pneumonia, plueresy, (lungs) and it wont do anything but conform all to the hoax.
thevortexmaster
We didn't. We gave China 16 tons of medical equipment when this first started and they gave us back that.
barnwolf
Ah, probably wasn't continuously stored in climate controlled areas or something, so they can't be trusted anymore.
thevortexmaster
I'm not entirely sure the were the same ones but ya never know
BionicBeach
Don’t have a source but I was reading that they aren’t. Completely different products and signs that they were even recently manufactured
BagofWeed
Cuz he is a moron he needs to stop deal with china
theblondeboredbadgersays
But he loves China. How could they play him like that?!
AllAboutThatD
I am Chinese(born) and I say this, China is asshoe. Fuck them.
Chaetre
No. We don't want people to hate the chinese. We want them to hate their leadership.
gossegotha
CCP is asshoe. You are my brotha from another mother!
AllAboutThatD
Yes. I love you my brotha.
candleinhisdick

Velonici
Why is anyone still buying from China? Especially important things like this.

Somebody should have told them not to order from Wish!

He got them from Alibubba ! Truth

Yeah I fucking cringed so hard when I heard that in one of his addresses. I knew it wouldn’t end well.

Ask what the standards are. It might be politics. Just saying. When your house is on fire you don't check if the extinguisher is certified.
sa5cff9r5h101
Soon you will see made in America.
Plagen
Yea, I don't. But if I pull the trigger and it doesn't spray anything out, it doesn't work.
Bystandr
We need to be making our own respirators and masks. We have the tech to do so. The N96s' should be cranked out, use the army engineer corps
iudicandus
I would argue... this is exactly why NIOSH doesn't approve Chinese masks. Not because they don't work, but to promote national production.
iudicandus
On top of... yeah there are probably some shitty factories pumping shitty masks out.
Bystandr
to do the respirators if we have to. Should be no issue getting someone in the private sector to scale up with a bit of help from the gov,
Bystandr
but if not or not in a timely fashion, push it ahead. Do what needs to be done so we can stop relying on anyone else let alone China.
Bignholy
That would require a national program, which apparently is the wrong thing to do for some goddamn retarded reason. I mean, this right here
Bignholy
is the entire point of having a nation, isn't it? To handle large scale problems?

yes, i like this description
Plagen
At this point, WHO IS BUYING FROM CHINA!? This has happened to MULTIPLE countries.
gurlsnuggler
These weren’t purchased.
Plagen
Even if they weren't, who GIFTS faulty stuff to another nation? Fuck China. They are a cancer on this earth.
gurlsnuggler
Learn about people complaining about US food aid for no good reason. Who complains about a gift?
Plagen
If the food was poisoned, I'd complain about gifted food.
gurlsnuggler
It wasn’t. But you don’t ship massive qualities of anything and expect everything perfect. People looking for reasons to hate on US...
gurlsnuggler
Also, don’t pretend you care. US were pressuring 3M not send masks to Canada 2 weeks. There’s more than one cancerous country.
Plagen
There is. Like other dictatorships and totalitarian regimes. And the current US presidency.
gurlsnuggler
Didn’t see complaints when Canada sent spare supplies that needed to be checked and tested.
Plagen
And of all the supplies they send how much was defective?
mity0k23
Maybe we don’t need the absolute cheapest shit. Price equilibrium is dandy, but quality vs price is something to consider too.
thevortexmaster
We didn't buy them I'm pretty sure. We gave China 16 tons of medical equipment when all this first happened. They gave us this back
mity0k23
I’m just talking stuff in general.
thevortexmaster
Ahhh my bad
mity0k23
Been trying to buy as local as I can when I can, but I think I’ll be even more vigilant towards Chinese goods after all this is done.
thevortexmaster
No doubt. I've always been a local kind if guy but it's definitely pretty hard to get zero chinese stuff
BagofWeed
He could have just had them made in canada but he is a moron shopping on ali bubba
mity0k23
Ali Bubba... lol
Morphumax101
There have been several different countries that have basically reported the same thing... Stop buying from them
ToneLock
Netherlands bought masks; TNO tested them and found 600000 of them them unfit for health professionals.
mansikkamaria
Same thing in Finland. Bought masks from China with 5 million € and they were unusable. Shame, China, shame.
thevortexmaster
We didn't buy these. It was in return for us giving them supplies
gurlsnuggler
There’s the source. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/23/canada-china-respirators-coronavirus-205461
TheBestRussian
No, we did. Maybe not THIS batch. Alberta bought a bunch and it’s all shit.
thevortexmaster
Oh I'm sure we did buy some
The2020ElectionWasStolen
even more shitty then'
thevortexmaster
Agreed
fooglephish
Weren't there also tests coming out of china that did jack shit?
thevortexmaster
Not sure but I don't doubt it
robulosity
Yeah they sent a bunch of tests to Prague and like 80% were trash
thevortexmaster
Brutal
feeltheice
Everything in response to medical needs that China has sold after robbing other countries blind has been utter shit. Masks, respirators etc
secretdpp
Morbidly curious if their body bags can even take the weight of a body
oumajgad
What's interesting we always hear about xxx things not working. They never say out of how many. One milion sounds horrible. What if they 1/?
oumajgad
send 30 mln? If they send just 1 mln, sure, dick move. But 10x, 20x or more? Just a bad batch.
feeltheice
We are dealing with medical equipment. 0 is to high of a failure. At this point it’s malicious.
BigOrkWaaagh
I mean I would have said 0 failures is exactly what you want.
idontknowhowthissiteworks
Italy recalled the N95s. And found China’s vivid-19 test kits were only 30% effective.
TurdBurglar3000
That makes me livid(-19)!

Covid *. Damn autocorrect.
TacoSauna
Remember when people stopped eating french fries b/c we had beef with France? Why can’t we do that for real to China when it matters?
woodchucc3211
Chinese food is about the only thing we will stop getting from “China” even though it’s all American

IBroughtASpareDrainpipe
Because we have met the enema, and he is pus.
shawn98ag
I remember in America just changing what we called them to "freedom fries" and still eating them!
Quessir
The US being over $1 trillion in debt to them is probably why. Also US companies are expanding into China for the first time and making bank
leroy666
cause nobody stopped eatin french fries but six idiots from the deep south.
Bizarkly
No bat soup for *you*...
SacrificialClam
Because we actually need masks and other countries don't make them fast enough (yea, I know, China doesn't care about quality)
Theoldredeyes
Because they have tried on many occasions but people kept saying that it was discrimination so it was pushed back.
Cheomesh
Well, all the Chinese places in my town seem to have closed up now, so...
FEMAcampsarereal
Remember when France was right and you were fucking wrong, and you looked like dumbasses. Well, this isn't that.
TacoSauna
Yeah, dude. It was lame as fuck. You’d think the a-holes protesting outside hospitals would at least be picketing for sanctions on China 1/2
TacoSauna
Also... cool your jets turbo.
callmesmitten
People actually did that ? What morons.
TacoSauna
They’re the same idiots protesting corona virus
WoeToHice
Except they didn't, not really. And for fuck's sake, stop trying to make massive consumer boycotts a thing. You know when those work? (1/4)
WoeToHice
When the target market are people who have the luxury of choice. It's virtually impossible to find products that don't have China (2/4)
WoeToHice
somewhere in the chain, and when you do find something, guess what's the price difference? If you wanna punish China economically, it (3/4)
WoeToHice
has to be done at the appropriate level -- sanctions, tariffs and all that shit _governments_ do. (4/4)
TacoSauna
Agreed. Government with a conscience and the balls to back it up would be nice.
HyperStress
The beef being letting you go to Irak by yourself
brahmstalker

TacoSauna
It was a stupid beef. Point is we protest the dumbest shit.

Thats dumb. French Fries are from Belgium not France.

I strongly associate those people with the types protesting now.
TacoSauna
Yeah - agree completely

Yes sure, americans not eating something fried next you will tell me we didnt manipulate our encrypting machines for you guys.
hwatL4bloopy
Wait what was the issue with France ?
TacoSauna
It was shitty posturing by some conservatives in the states because France would back the Iraq war. You guys didn’t do anything wrong.
FEMAcampsarereal
They said invading Iraq was a bad idea. The US couldn't handle the truth.
Rudywasoffside
They didn’t support the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Fucking assholes, right?
hwatL4bloopy
So that's where the freedom fry thing comes from?
Rudywasoffside
Correct https://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/03/11/sprj.irq.fries/
IBroughtASpareDrainpipe
Their snails were too fast. Thanks, Obama.

Only petty idiots did the French fries thing, this would involve actual money

my guess? ppl wanna save that dolla

We fat asses did not stop eating French fries, some people just called them “freedom fries.” Kind of like how some Chinese products got
TacoSauna
lol fair point
Imgerruinedimger
Seriously, we grow our own potatoes. All we did was change the name. Nothing in manufacturing changed.
proudPOC4justice
Luckily We can still eat fortune cookies
proudPOC4justice
I usually call them “Lucky Chinamen crackers”

Rebranded as “made in Vietnam.”
combatwombat0
Wait, what?
Rudywasoffside
It’s come out that some Chinese exports were falsely labeled “made in Vietnam” to avoid the tariffs.

Yea..and Texas Toast.
ImNotSureWhatAGoodUserNameIsSoThisWillHaveToDo
What was Texas toast called before?

I thought Texas toast was just absurdly thick slices of toast. Sure I’ll have a half loaf of bread in one sammich
