Would it hurt to try a little kindness? School kids in Toronto strike up a theme for care-mongering

 

And how are Canadian leaders fairing during this COVID crisis? We’ll get a pulse on their latest approval ratings.

That’s coming up later in the podcast.

 

Washington is now suggesting the coronavirus didn’t originate in a Wuhan food market but was released from the Institute of Virology in China. So far it’s only an unsubstantiated accusation but US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says it’s time for the Chinese government to “come clean” on what it knows. Beijing is dismissing the accusation.

 

US President Donald Trump has said he would support easing travel restrictions along the Canada – US border.

 

But Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford says Prime Minister Trudeau must keep the borders closed until COVID-19 is fully contained.

 

President Trump has issued new guidelines for states to beging re-opening their economies. But the president has made it clear, the decisions will be left up to the governors.

 

Meanwhile, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney has a plan to ease pandemic restrictions in his province – following leads of Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea

Since the pandemic was declared on March 11th, premiers and the prime minister have been front and centre in the daily COVID-19 briefings. And the crisis has put their leadership under the microscope….So, how have Canadians responded and how has this changed politics across the country…
