Given that none of the previously "secured" amounts have actually come true from December until now, pardon me if I treat with extreme skepticism any dubious claims by the federal politicians. I'll be glad if I see it, but I'm certainly not expecting to get two doses (which is what counts for re-opening, not one dose) by July, probably not August, maybe not this September, and maybe not this year.
The only exception is if Joe Biden bails us out, but even then Mexico has a more compelling case for US assistance than does Canada. I hope he sends some our way, but I'm not holding my breath.
