News & Politics


This week on The House, Dr. Kwame McKenzie, a psychiatry professor and CEO of the Wellesley Institute, asks why Canada isn’t doing a better job tracking which ethnic and socioeconomic groups are bearing the biggest burden when it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, B.C. Premier John Horgan reflects on taking action on long-term care homes in his province, reopening the Canada-U.S. border, pitching for national sick leave, and potentially opening the door to NHL players; economist Kevin Milligan considers life after CERB, the federal government's income support program that's been a lifeline to millions of Canadians during the pandemic; and McGill University philosopher Daniel Weinstock explores the ethical dilemma facing policy makers as lockdown restrictions ease.
