    A fair summary of the US & Canadian response to pandemic. I think a little more could be said about how the Canadian economic response helped win popular buy-in to lockdown.https://twitter.com/zackbeauchamp/status/1257334960333172736 …

    Why is the Canadian infection rate half of America’s? Because its political system actually works. https://www.vox.com/2020/5/4/21242750/coronavirus-covid-19-united-states-canada-trump-trudeau?utm_campaign=zackbeauchamp&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter …

        Thanks! I wanted to talk about the economic response but had to cut it for space 😢

        The indigenous issue is also worth revisiting. Both countries have to address this -- the stuff I've read about American reserves is disheartening.

        Really helps when Canada's leader isn't a guy downplaying the virus, telling them to go eat bleach or that it's fake news.

        US people are broadly supportive of lockdown though. The anti-labor Pro-Trump rallies are not representative of the general public.

        how useful is it to be looking at canada only at the national level, when almost 60% of deaths are in QC, 93% across QC/ON?

        Every morning, for several hours, the Premiers of all provinces hold a running press conference carried on a CBC News live feed. They take phoned-in questions from reporters. & answer them politely. Canada works daily to create this broad consensus across provinces. It's on now.

        We should be paying people to stay the fuck inside while the government ramps up testing. We’ve done neither, so we could very well find ourselves at Step 1 all over again (outbreaks, straining hospital capacity, etc) if tell people it’s all safe without proper information
