More signs COVID-19 is slowing in Canada; students to get federal help

Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam said Canada was making progress in slowing the epidemic but warned against letting down its guard. The focus, Tam said, must be placed on stopping outbreaks in places like seniors homes and in other places where vulnerable populations live together in close quarters. How exactly Canada gets on the road to normalization will largely depend on the provinces, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday. However, the closure of the Canada-U.S. border will stay in place until May 21st at least, he said.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defends not creating universal COVID-19 benefit, announces student aid

As he announced yet another emergency financial aid package Wednesday — this one aimed at students — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his decision not to create a universal benefit that would ensure no Canadians affected by COVID-19 fall through the cracks. His focus for specific help Wednesday was students, announcing a $9-billion suite of programs for students whose education and job prospects are disrupted by the novel coronavirus. Trudeau says his government's approach has been to try to target its emergency financial assistance in stages to those who need it most, rather than to everyone at once, including those who don't need it.
