A glimmer of good news

“We see the light at the end of the tunnel,” the Prime Minister said with cautious optimism this week. As news broke of Pfizer’s promising preliminary results with its COVID-19 vaccine — of which Canada has already secured millions of doses — even Elamin and Rosie have been feeling a little relief, these last few days. But what plans might the federal government have for the eventual rollout of a vaccine? And how is procurement going with other potential vaccine candidates? The two lay out what we know so far, as daily case counts continue to break new records across several provinces. Rosie and Elamin also take a look at Canada’s airline industry, facing plummeting revenues and thousands of complaints from passengers demanding refunds for cancelled flights. What is the federal government considering, when it comes to a possible bailout?
