Fight Back with Libby Znaimer

Libby wants to hear your reaction to this news at the top of today's Free For All Friday.

One of the hottest topics on Fight Back in recent days has been about the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine and whether the remaining doses we have in Ontario will be for second shots.

Your reaction to the new COVID-19 reopening plan is also welcome. You know the details of this three step plan which begins with the opening of restaurant patios and non essential retail with 15 percent capacity along with outdoor gatherings of 10 people starting June 14th.

This weekend we also get a break in the restrictions with golf and tennis and other outdoor amenities allowed in the province starting tomorrow and outdoor gatherings of up to 5 people.

What are your thoughts? Are you pleased to at least have some predictability and clarity around the reopening process?

Whatever's on your mind in the news, Libby will be waiting for your calls.
