Experts who advocate for improvements to long-term care in Canada say the provinces need to move faster to vaccinate residents and the people who look after them.

The solutions to fix dire conditions in long-term care homes already exist — however the political will is missing, according to experts and politicians who spoke at an emergency town hall on Monday.

Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole accused the Liberal government on Sunday, November 29, 2020, of putting too much emphasis on partnering with a Chinese company for a COVID-19 vaccine in what turned out to be a failed deal.

“What we’re trying to do is create a set of accountability norms that will put an exceptionally high degree of pressure on both the present and future federal administrations,” says Liberal parliamentary secretary Will Amos.

The election of Kamala Harris as vice-president of the United States will inspire more young Black women in Canada to engage in politics and run for office, says Velma Morgan, a Black Canadian activist based in Toronto.

“Canadians don’t like to hear it, and I don’t like to say it, but even under Donald Trump, the Americans did a better job at tackling the climate emergency over his four years than Canada did,” newly elected Green party Leader Annamie Paul said during a public conversation via Zoom on Thursday.

Annamie Paul, leader of the Green Party of Canada, will join Linda Solomon Wood in conversation on Nov. 12. Here's some background and context.

The federal Liberals saw their share of the vote drop in two Toronto byelections on Monday, October 26, 2020, a humbling result for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the first electoral test of his government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The community group that hosted Monday’s virtual debate wanted to hear about local concerns such as homelessness, housing, school, jobs and support for immigration and immigrants. Of the four major parties, only the Greens' new Leader Annamie Paul and NDP candidate Brian Chang showed up.

The two federal byelections underway in Toronto will continue even as cases of COVID-19 soar in the city, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says.

Newly elected Green party Leader Annamie Paul is putting the brakes on any speculation of Green-NDP co-operation in the future. “When it comes to the next election, I think it’s going to be a very clear choice and differentiation between our two parties," she says.

“You get to a point where you say, 'We do not have the conditions for a free and fair and democratic election,'" says the new Green leader.

Young climate activists who have recently joined the federal Greens want newly crowned leader Annamie Paul to reach out to them and push more aggressive pandemic recovery plans than she has so far laid out.

Green Party of Canada members have chosen Toronto's Annamie Paul as their new leader.

Eight candidates in the race to succeed Elizabeth May will spar tonight over foreign policy issues like Middle East politics, the climate crisis, Canada’s relationship with the United States and tensions with China.
