Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government is offering $14 billion to the provincial and territorial governments for measures to keep COVID-19 at bay.
Trudeau says Canadians have sacrificed too much to allow a mishandled resumption of economic activity to eliminate the progress against the disease.
He says everyone in Canada needs the same tools but local situations vary and the provincial and territorial governments “have a very clear idea” of what is needed.
Trudeau also said recent reports of police violence against Indigenous people are “disturbing” and the cases need to be “investigated properly.”
While the prime minister didn’t specify the reports he was speaking about, this week, an RCMP officer in Nunavut was caught on camera hitting a 22-year-old Inuk man with the door of a moving truck, and a 26-year-old First Nations mother in New Brunswick was shot and killed by police.

I don’t understand people, Trudeau is doing a pretty good job under the circumstances. What do people want a do nothing leader in a pandemic like trump?

I’m sorry, but the people in the bottom doing sign just look ridiculous.
Ana Lorenzon
Judging by some of the cowardly hate comments here … my advice to you is…. if you are so unhappy with Trudeau and Canada move down to the states. I’m sure you’ll feel much more in your element having a great, intelligent leader like Trump…. and Canada would be better off without you.
Theron Ash
It certainly has crossed many minds.
Connor Gracie
This guy needs to go.

Easier and cheaper solution: get out of the way of economic development.
