Dubya lied about Canadian flu vaccine
During the debate Dubya said he was working with Canada to obtain flu vaccine, however, this article paints a very different pucture.

Canada has a surplus, but the Bush administration didn't ask for any!

1. Wrong Title
Surplus Canadian Flu Vaccine To The US?

Canada has about 2 million doses of surplus flu vaccine that could be sent to the United States, according to Canada's public health officer, David Butler-Jones.

ID Biomedical of Vancouver has more than one million surplus influenza doses, and the Canadian government has an additional one million surplus doses intended for public use, if needed.

4. Locking
This article seems be in contradiction with several other articles, like this one, this one, and this one, all of which are more reputable sources. This seems more like commentary and/or speculation.
