My thought on the multiple orders is that they were hedging their bets and ordering a lot from several companies.There is an international consortium of nations called Covax that have joint in sponsoring testing, treatment and vaccines for under-developed countries. According to this press-release by our Ministry of Global Affairs, Canada has pledged almost $500 million towards this cause, which I don't imagine any of us begrudge. This is in addition to the actual doses we have purchased. Donation of excess doses is not mentioned. It is a bit of a mystery why we ordered so many.
