Here we go again

If you’re feeling a little déjà vu, you’re not alone. Rosie and Elamin feel it, too. The Prime Minister has returned to the front steps of his home to deliver regular addresses to Canadians… just like he did, back in March. Has his message changed? Are people listening? The two take stock of Trudeau’s move as more provinces enact stronger public health measures. They also look ahead to next week’s big numbers — the ones that have been growing since March: the ballooning federal deficit. Next Monday, the government will deliver their economic update, which Elamin and Rosie point out is less likely to include sweeping recovery plans and more likely to spell out how the feds hope to manage the next stage of the pandemic.
