Good, they should donate FOC to Covax if they don’t want it for developing countries

The US supply for the AZ vaccine is produced from a US supply chain.

No but they are short of vaccine as they don't have enough contracts in place.

Your right they probably should donate them to an Malawi instead:
Taken form the BBC News Website:
"Health authorities in Malawi have incinerated 19,610 expired doses of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine, saying it will reassure the public that any vaccines they do get are safe."

I think that must be well out of date - just for instance, Saudi Arabia has already administered over 11 million doses (source: ourworldindata)

My info seems a bit out of dale a quick google suggests that they are ramping up.
"This ramp-up in Canada’s vaccine rollout has been a long time coming. On March 1, vaccine deliveries were so small that Canada wasn’t on pace to reach 75 per cent of its population having first doses until Nov. 24, 2022. Then, vaccine supply accelerated in April and May. Now, at our current pace, Tombe’s model suggests that Canada should reach 75 per cent by June 19. In addition, 75 per cent of all eligible Canadians 12 and up could have second doses by the second week in August."

And if they start giving a third in six months time?
Pfizer storage life increases from 5 days to 31

this is fantastic news as the stress was using this all in such a short window (reality being <84 hours) especially as it is now the primary 1st dose vaccine, at present.
