The only thing that Canada could have done differently was to shut borders more quickly and perhaps maintain stockpiles of supplies for Canada and not give them to China. They were deceived by the Chinese Communist party. We have been somewhat lucky to have a limited outbreak relative to the U.S. and other places. Hopefully, lessons have been learned and the next time this happens, there will be better outcomes and better decisions made. When evaluating the efforts of Canadian authorities, it is important not to fall into the trap of believing that they should have executed a series of actions that could be seen to be perfect in 20/20 hindsight. They are human.

It is also important to differentiate between the actions of the Chinese Communist Party officials and the Chinese citizens who travelled the world. They did not know they were spreading a pandemic. Their government told them that it wasn't even possible for human to human transmission to occur. They likely did not have symptoms when they left Wuhan.
