Some Canadians may receive the first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in coming months, but will those vaccinations be enough to protect our most vulnerable? Toronto Sun Columnist Brian Lilley says the first round will arrive later in Canada than other countries, and will only cover about 8% of our population by March. If the goal is to vaccinate all our seniors and healthcare workers, Lilley says we'll fall far short, despite Trudeau’s rosy words, as Canadians over 70 represent 12.5% of the population.

With the increase in COVID-19 cases, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is enacting its surge plan to meet the expected demand for COVID-19 patients in the next two weeks.
