Episode description

As a horrible second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic ravages India, there has been pressure on the Trudeau government to enact travel measures to prevent further spread of variants in Canada.  In response to that pressure the government announced a ban on direct flights from India and Pakistan for 30 days.
