and that's the problem, Ford is taking out his frustrations on liberal holdings- there are at least 5 "blue" neighborhoods that are nowhere near the median for infection that were declared hotspots where they get provincial funding to vaccinate ALL adults, while there are at least 14 areas that are far above median that get nothing because they voted "red"...
Adding further to my confusion, it sounds like your "blue" areas are considered Conservative and "red" areas Liberal -- just the opposite of what those colors represent in the U.S. But I think I get it. Ford and the Conservatives are punishing Liberal enclaves. It's sad to see that going on. I used to think our Canadian neighbors had better sense than to do something like that.
We have seen some of that going on in the U.S. Notably in Florida where Gov. DeSantis sent a pop-up vaccine clinic to a rich, conservative suburb while ignoring areas that voted liberal.
A big problem in the U.S. right now is vaccine resistance. It has resulted in a glut of vaccine where people don't want it and a shortage where people do want it. Predictably, given how the vaccine has become politicized here, it's very much dependent on politics. Vaccine resistance in areas that voted overwhelmingly "red" lead to gluts in those areas while and folks in areas who voted "blue" can't get it fast enough. A generalization, but pretty accurate.
Here in the liberal/blue Maryland suburbs of D.C., it's hard to get an appointment. I felt lucky to get the one-shot J&J vaccine about a week before the rare clotting issue was identified. To tell the truth, given the choice between J&J and nothing, I might have opted to get it anyway given the apparent rarity (6 cases) and the fact that it has so far "only" struck women 18-48 and I'm neither of those things.
A friend who lives in DC but hails from conservative/red Louisiana, drove home to get the vaccine. They have so many unused doses she could get it without living there or waiting for an appointment and she's going back for her second dose. They are calling people who travel to places with extra doses "vaccine tourists."
I've got a bad case of Oppositional Defiance Disorder myself.
