On today’s agenda: a UK variant of the COVID-19 virus has ravaged Roberta Place Long-Term Care in Barrie. Meanwhile, B.C. has released an aged-based plan for how it will be vaccinating residents. And, we get the latest scoop on CARP’s campaign calling for the firing of Merrilee Fullerton, Ontario’s long-term care minister. The petition has reached over 6,000 signatures.

OUR NEW REALITY AS WE MARK ONE YEAR OF THE PANDEMIC
(30:40)

Jane Brown is filling in for Libby Znaimer today. She is joined by Sanjay Khanna, Futurist and CEO & Macro Trends Expert as well as Jack Jedwab, President of the Association for Canadian Studies.

It’s been one-year since Canada reported its first COVID-19 case. And in the past twelve months, our reality has changed dramatically. What is the future of travel and of business? Is hugging and handshaking a thing of the past? How have Canadians’ attitudes and feelings fundamentally changed as we navigate these unprecedented times? These are the kinds of questions we tackle with both Sanjay and Jack.
