"The union representing staff in the city-run homes quickly realized the made-in-China masks "ripped easily and seemed poorly made," said CUPE Local 79 president Dave Mitchell."

Yeah, it's a thing that's been happening worldwide with increasing frequency.
China hijacked over 90% of the world's medical manufacturing. When the virus hit in Wuhan they tried to keep it's danger quiet but at the same time they were scooping up whatever quality product they could find from other countries. Can't remember how much our moron in Canada sent them. A lot, I think. Australia and others got stung too.
After awhile though they started sending stuff back the other way again, feigning compassion but in reality it was laden with faulty product.
You're not allowed to notice any of this though. If you do you're a racist.

There's probably lead and/or mercury in the masks too.
Oh, and you get what you paid for, I guess... it's like shopping at Dollarama.
