My best guess:

1. We don't have enough pharma industry to manufacture our own supply. The founder and CEO of the largest Canada HQ'd pharma company was assassinated in 2017 and I'm sure that didn't help.

2. All of the U.S. supply was essentially created under the Trump admin. We were having a mini trade war and enforcing strong border control through that time. In more normal times we probably would have piggybacked on the American supply.

I think that is why our overall progress is more comparable to Europe and not the US.
