Global National: June 19, 2021 | Provinces push to increase COVID-19 vaccination numbers

In an effort to ramp up Canada’s plateauing COVID-19 vaccinations, provinces are getting creative to reach people who are hesitant to get their shots. Mike Drolet explains how.

The highly-transmissible Delta COVID-19 variant is causing concern in the U.S., especially in communities where fewer than 20 per cent of residents have received their shots. As Jackson Proskow explains, medical experts fear a resurgence of the virus may be headed to the country’s south.

As more Canadians get vaccinated for COVID-19 and restrictions begin to lift, not everyone is excited for the country to reopen. Jamie Mauracher looks at what’s driving anxieties.

And, with travel set to resume soon, some airlines are offering major flight deals. Anne Gaviola reports.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated Calgary's long-standing problem with high office vacancies. Right now, 16 office towers are completely empty. As Heather Yourex-West explains, the city has pitched a plan to fill them with affordable housing, with hopes it catches on across Canada.

In the U.S., celebrations are underway for Juneteenth, which has long been observed as the official end to slavery in the country, and is a federal holiday this year. Jennifer Johnson reports.

Two weeks ago, 135, 000 fans attended the Indy 500, the largest event since the start of the pandemic.
The media said it was a “massive super-spreader event” & that it was “absolutely nuts.”
Cases have continued to decline.

Push all you like, provinces. I'll be happily staying in the control group of the experiment.

[Picklemedia]

People deserve to know the truth.
Bret Weinstein, Derek sloan, Maxime Bernier
Did I miss any?

We are profoundly skeptical of your experimental drug because of the extraordinary measures you are going to to convince us to get.

[avtor]

Soon there will be 365 official black holidays.

This crap is still going on?
Who even believes any of these lies?
Good Lord save us all. 🙏

Let's Tv watchers enjoy wearing masks forever and their fear rule their lives. People who educate themselves they feel safe.

imagine getting Astrazeneca and wanting to go down to a venue in the states but then realizing you can’t get in because it’s not FDA approved and as far as the US government concerned you didn’t get FDA approved shot so you can’t get in 😂

[mastersamurai]

Why convince us when you can shame and extort us?

[terminsane]

I tried to buy boxes because im moving, but the stores refuse to sell them because they're "non-essential."
However, i can buy potato chips and soda.

I sometimes forget how terrified the average person is about covid because of the media and all these 'scientists'

[lastChang]

While Canadians are increasing vaccination numbers,
- let's not forget how the Wuhan🇨🇳 outbreak started.

All politicians and bankers should be FIRST and last -

Find the darkhorse podcast about vaccine side effects, especially if you're a woman

[Pleasefireme]

Tired of your talking heads trying to manipulate us

[whynot]

WOW, Globull getting more thumbs up than down?? WEIRD??.

[anonymousdad]

Give us some long term data on this "vaccine", I'm not an anti-vaxxer, but I'm also not a sheep, do the work if you want the results.

[icanpreptoo]

Why can't kids have free access to antibody testing. It would go a long way to mitigating and managing the risks to children. It is ridiculous that our youngest population has been left in the lurch.

Watch the body language carefully at 2:09 to 2:15 . Most are not paying attention and some are just pretending looks staged for the cameras 📷 . How could they even hear 👂 the speaker thru its mask
