the chief canada strategist joins us. in terms of where things stand today, give me your level of optimism about whether we can continue these gains. we are expecting a second wave in canada. we expect to hear about the restrictions and hotspots for covid. >> the simple answer is we cannot continue these gains. two more months of this and we would be above job levels from february which would be encouraging but naÏvely optimistic to expect. print.s a very strong degreestill have a fair of confidence in canada's recovery. vonnie: they are saying canada is about to enter a second phase of coronavirus and this is dangerous. how much more stimulus will be needed? >> i don't think we are likely to see more stimulus in canada. there have been targeted announcements around infrastructure spending, green jobs. these are longer-term projects. these are not the sort of stimulus measures you would look in theoost the economy face of a covid-induced slowdown. we will see wage supports continue into the summer. we will see transfers

we were faced with a big problem of my father moving his well from egypt to canada and the banks pretty much froze. coming capital coming out of the country and you can only move like a $1000.00 per month or something ridiculous like that. so which forced my father to work an extra 6 years in saudi to kind of fund his retirement fund his new home that they have here in canada and yeah we were faced with with strict capital controls on on their money and it was a wake up call. during that time from 2012 to 2017. where things got a little bit easier to move money around we all witnessed the egyptian pound drop 65 percent against the us dollar. which was devastating we saw it happening year over year instead of 5 years my parents saw a lot of their well just evaporate into thin air sorry call and as mentioned kaiser report was an cairo shortly there after the so-called arab spring and the revolution i remember at the time the feeling was euphoric and also this idea they call that the facebook revolution because through social media the generation in particular women and whole thanks to kic

had no contact in canada whatsoever had no connection to canada she was essentially flying from beijing into canada and that it was treated as if when it was applied for from a court as if she had no reason to even being can it canada in the 1st place of course within a day or 2 that constable found out that was incorrect that the affidavit stated she had no contact with canada when in fact she has 2 homes in canada including one in vancouver. or by the way she's under house arrest right now she's been under house arrest since being arrested stay in that home so she actually owned 2 properties there so the point they're trying to make here is that essentially there was something deceptive that was done in order to obtain this affidavit in the 1st place and now of any police officer has actually testified about the u.s. extradition warrant revealing that washington had requested that data on her lap her phone and laptop be secured so that it could not be erased remotely the u.s. involvement seems like a big part of the story does it not i think it's the biggest part of this story what's

applying it to small medium sized enterprises so every dry cleaner and falafel shop in america not canada is going to be living on p p e loans coming from the government out of the money printer go br'er and he got a nation of zombies that's why pop culture has given us all these be films and zombie t.v. shows to prepare us for the zombie apocalypse there is indeed a bit of a trickle down zombie for cation that could be happening here and everybody gets to be a zombie but it does show as well the data shows that we've also seen a record closing not bankruptcy's of small and medium sized enterprises so these are people that chose to just close their business and not apply for these p.p.p. loans or maybe they didn't get one of these p.p.p. loans because remember j.p. morgan and the big banks got most of the money and they gave it to their favorite cousin he couldn't compete with the small i'll be getting the zombie getting the free money chats with it's not so zombies take over obviously a very slow moving yes so you think you could. i know them out run them and beat them but that's not the

it is a canada steamship line. canada steamship lines was owned by the martin family, john martin became the prime minister of canada and they named that boat after him. the canadian border is just literally feet to my right, and on the right that you see over my shoulder is windsor, canada. on the left is detroit, michigan. there's a bridge behind me between them, the ambassador bridge, and it is the busiest crossing between canada and the united states. today, we are in our fifth location on the velshi across america tour. i am in detroit, michigan, the beautiful city of once the center of the american auto motive industry and the american music industry. trump barely squeaked out a victory in 2016, winning by two-tenths of a percent. tables may turn because now he's facing joe biden. i held a socially distant conversation yesterday in dearborn, michigan, with six voters from surrounding areas. two of them registered democrats, two of them republicans and two of them independents. it was a remarkable conversation

of canada. i told you about that great moment of protestant unity in canada when the presbyterians and the methodists joined together to make one denomination and that happened at the very same time that american proper american protestantism was breaking apart. and it shows us this set of path that canadian and american protestantism were heading down. what are the historical reasons for this very different character of american protestant product and what -- who are these fundamentalists? who are we really talking about when we use this label? first we got to be clear about what fundamentalism means. because this word is used pretty carelessly in today's culture in media. in this class, we will use it in a very historically precise way. fundamentalists -- i'm giving you a definition now, fundamentalists are conservative protestants who militantly opposed new ideas about the bible, science and society. and often, although not always, broke away to found their own churches, schools and religious

under the usmca, are dairy exports to canada are expected to surge by at least 100%.

of the united church of canada. remember, i told you about that great moment of protestant unity in canada when the baptists, the congregationalists -- sorry, not the baptists, the presbyterian, the congregationists and the methodists joined together to make one big denomination and it's this lovely, historical coincidence that that happened at the very same time that american protestantism was so clearly polarizing and breaking apart. it's very handy. it givious one date that you have to memorize for the final, you know? and it shows us this divergent set of paths that canadian and american protestantism were headed down. so we have to ask then, what are the historical reasons for this very different character of american protestant conflict and what -- who are these fundamentalists? i mean, who are we really talking about when we use this label? so first, we've got to be clear about what fundamentalism means because this word is used pretty carelessly, i think in today's culture and media. in this class we will us

. >> flare-ups in canada. it would be fun to actually compare canada's record with coronavirus to america's. the president should not use comparisons in canada to anything to do with this thing. he said it's going to disappear. he actually said that in february. that line was an embarrassment when he said it in february. but now with 215,000 americans dead and more than 7.7 million infected, including him, including his wife, including his press secretary, this is outright malpractice. trump was doing his thing in the nation's capital, vice president pence was doing much of the same thing in southern florida. he had a rally at the villages. many of the elderly supporters in attendance were not wearing masks or social distancing. this video was posted to twitter by u.s. correspondent with the telegraph who reported and filmed multiple attendees needing to be escorted off the prepsz by ems after fainting due to the unmanageable conditions. our own reporter, amanda golden, was there and confirms it was from pence

the same terms as canada. that basically means no free-trade agreement on the horizon between the u.k. and the eu. joining us now is guy johnson. you and i have been doing back and forth in the last hour. here it is. guy: absolutely. let's provide a little to context here. i think this situation stems from the statement that was put out from the eu gathering that took place yesterday. that, lord frost, the u.k. negotiator, sent out a tweet talking about his surprise that the eu was not prepared to move, and that the u.k. would have to provide all the movement where there to be a deal. those tweets from frost went down like a lead balloon within the meeting, and the room took it very badly. subsequent to that, we have had at the sameng out time frost started talking. barnier sounded more optimistic and said that the talks could go on. to your point, i suspect that both sides would like the talks to go on. certainly that has been the mood music from johnson. there has been a sense that maybe there needs to be a

i have given governor's permission to go to canada and buy drugs directly from canada, ron desantis, the state of florida, approximately 50% and more on the purchase of drugs, they buy the same drugs from the same plan to a lab, 50% less. i outlined a new plan to provide historic parity. this is important to the black community known as the black plan creating new wealth, new access to capital and school choice as civil right for every american family, we need school choice. the democrats will never give you school choice, they will never give you charter schools that have worked so well. we are lifting up citizens of every race, color, religion and creed, delivering the future of fairness, justice and dignity for every community in our land and we are defending our values and principles and our cherished way of life. guided by timeless convictions we will make next year one of the single greatest years in the history of our country. it is an honor to be with you. i think i will be with you next year again but we will have 2 c. if i don't when the election you probably won't want me

--author based in ottawa, canada. i know you were up because of your tweets. lord knows why you were about 2:00 or 3:00 in the moing. hope it was worth it. so what do they make of it in london? >> i think there is a divide reflected in your package there, jon sopel's package, that pretty much exists on this side of the atlantic, too. i suppose the lottery of not watching it inside america,-- luxury of not watching it inside america, you get less of an outrage about the way that donald trump conducted the debate. plenty of people think he is morally absolutely a reprobate, and he continued that last night. for me, i did have a bit of a different view to some colleagues watching in the u.s. one is that when donald trump really decided to go for it and it is like running into a close-up, and -- running into a buzz saw, and joe biden was struggling with that. the question is, does that matter? if joe biden showed could hold it together -- but it did force him to be a much ruder man then we know he usually is. you have a c

canada pays 50% what we pay. i've given governors permission to go to canada and buy drugs directly from canada stating as an example the state of florida approximately 50% and more. so the same drug from the same exact plant or lab but 50% less. i also outlined a new plan for historic and this is so important to the black community creating new wealth, access to capital and school choice as a civil right for every american family. we need school choice. the democrats will never give you school choice or charter schools that have worked so well. we are lifting up citizens of every race and color and defending our values and principles and way of life and guided by these convictions we will make next year one of the greatest in the country. it's an honor to be with you. i think i will be with you next year again but it's hard to see because if i don't win, you probably won't want me and that's okay but i think we will have a tremendous success. we have lines of people, 40, 50,000 people to see a speech with a one

they can offer canada terms they won't offer us. but you're saying they've got to come to you with some fresh ideas about negotiations. are you saying you are walking away or you're not walking away? well, if there's a fundamental change of approach, of course, we're always willing to listen. but that didn't seem particularly encouraging from the summit in brussels yesterday. 0n covid—19, are you willing to impose restrictions on places like greater manchester without the buy—in of local leaders? i'd much rather that we were able to do things with the help support and leadership of local authorities. and look, i pay tribute to liverpool city region, to lancashire that came on board today with the tiering system. in london you've seen the mayor come on board as well. and that's very, very important, because clearly, you know, if you're going to enforce these measures, if you're going to do proper local testing and tracing, if you get a local buy in, then compliance in local leadership is crucial. we want to work with local leader

a lot of people -- a lot of places moved up to canada. canada was very tough on us but a lot of -- i saw the main reason i ran -- but i saw it all happening. it was so easy to see. i saw it all happening that's probably the main reason i ran, but four years ago i was just saying i'm going to cut your taxes, going to cut regulations, i'm going to rebuild her military. i'm going to do all the things i just said and actually i did more because like spaceports, we opened up spaceports. i never said i was going to do that. i learned that after watching russia and china and every thing else, i learned that after i was here but i never talk to -- one of these people right that there said he may be the only politician that actually did more than he promised during the campaign. i believe that's true. so we have -- so we have actually more enthusiasm because i did everything -- i mean i said the wall -- the wall was -- i mean, the wall was just a very expensive -- the border patrol wanted a certain way, very expensive, they are right, they wanted

he said big fairups in europe and canada which is right. some republicans that i speak to like pointing out that all the countries like canada and germany that were high and mighty talk about making everyone wearing masks and so on are seeing huge spikes so they say it's proof the measures don't work, that the virus is going to do its thing and we might as well just open up everything back. so is there any merit to that argument or how do you fight back against that argument? >> i agree with you, kim, that this is probably most an attempt to distract from the failures of the u.s. response, but look, this is not a competition. we should be cooperating to find the best ways to get through this and to suppress the virus. the question we should be asking is what's happening in new zealand, taiwan, thailand, that's allowing them to suppress or even eliminate the transmission of the virus to levels they're able to get pretty well back to normal? they're having sporting events with full stadiums. people are in bars and restaurants and their econom

one more time, in canada more than the united states, my constituents don't get it. i give you the floor, you have one minute and 5 seconds. explain between canada and the united states. >> i share your frustration and empathize with those who are struggling to understand the difference between the two systems. as i said previously in the united states, $0.46 of every dollar are in the sand of intermediaries in the pharmaceutical supply chain, not two handed renovated companies. in canada that is not the case. >> that your company not get to spend the canadian dollars? do you repeat that money? >> of course we do. i'm just trying -- >> let's stop talking about different of expenses in the united states versus canada because you have a worldwide market, a board of directors for the united states. >> certainly not. >> so your profits are your profits, my time is expired but i would like the gentleman to answer the question. >> the gentleman may answer the question. >> thank you. in the united states many innovative drugs are available which are not available in canada.

area easing a little further west for central parts of canada will see some showers some longer spells of rain the possibility of a little bit of a wintry mix just coming in here as we go on through sas die for the west wanted to showers easing the way into that western side of canada but across the western side of the u.s. as you can see i saw any rain coming through here it stays fine dry and settled all of it could of course deal with the right. in california there will be some right as the northeast as we go on 1st sunday wet weather coming back in here that system just rolls out of canada across new england or all the way down towards d.c. down towards the carolinas as well got some wet weather too moving across the caribbean that's giving some cause for concern today looks like just storms just developing the eastern side of the caribbean now this may well develop into yet another tropical storm as it makes its way which should make. in a struggle young aboriginal children as young as 10 being arrested and locked up in the 1st of 2 special reports one o one a still best to gates

artificial intelligence, most of the academics doing the really cutting—edge work are in the uk, in the us, canada and elsewhere, but shirley is right. china is rapidly catching up.

i may not be pointing north, but canada is pretty close by. our mortality rate in the united states is 2.5 times higher than canada. think about that. if we had the same percentage of folks dying in canada as we do here, nearly 90,000 americans would have died instead of 230,000 meamericans. if we handled this pandemic like canada did, 140,000 of our fellow americans might still be alive today. think about that. think about that. yet despite that, last week when trump was asked if he do anything different, he said not much. really? not much. can't think of anything. listen, i understand the president was anxious to down play it because he wanted to get credit for the economy that he inherited and zero blame for the pandemic he ignored, but it doesn't work that way. the job doesn't work that way. tweeting at the tv doesn't fix things. making stuff up doesn't make people's lives better. you got to have a plan. you've got to put in the work. along with the experience to get things done, joe biden has c concrete plans and policies that will turn o

you see big flare-ups in europe, canada, a very big flare-up in canada, you saw that today. a lot of flare-ups, but it's going to disappear. it is disappearing. and we're -- vaccines are going to help and the therapeutics are going to help a lot. >> now that memo from president trump's doctor clearing him to leave isolation was full of positive news about the president's condition, but it didn't give a lot of detail. jeremy diamond breaks down what we know and what we don't. >> reporter: the president's physician, dr. sean conley, clearing him for a return to public activities. dr. conley writing in a new memo released late saturday night that the president is no longer considered a risk of transmission for this coronavirus to others. let me read you a part of this memo from dr. sean conley where he writes, this evening i'm happy to report that in addition to the president meeting cdc criteria for the safe discontinuation of isolation, this morning's covid pcr sample demonstrates by currently recognized standards he is no longer considered a transmission risk to others. now

we won't be losing our companies to mexico and canada. we won't have our companies closeup and get rid of everybody. fire everybody and move and do the same product in mexico. up everybody. fire everybody and move and do the same product in mexico. it's the reason i ran. joe biden is a corrupt politician. they took millions of dollars from the chinese communist party while vice-president biden shipped your jobs to china. how the hell can he negotiate with china with the money they take? the fake news don't want to cover it. his son manages million dollars a year. where is hunter? we haven't found him. he is still looking for his laptop from hell. >> [laughing]. >> where is my laptop? hunter, you left it in a repair shop and never picked it up. you know what they go? russia did it! i know, it's russia. adam schiff, i believe that russia caused this problem. here we go. russia, russia, russia. no, it had nothing it do with russia. if it does -- we let russia know. this is pure disgusting evil stuff that goes on. your tech companies don't wa

and makes me mad you know canada hasn't done enough for its first nations. you know which third world. that's the digital divide to marion . next door neighbors are asking me how come there's reporters here. gonna say something -- to do an update on how what it's like to live next door to the neighbors. no no no they just doing a report on this. internet thing. it just grew into this the ground but then this has to be grounded somehow right -- like network infrastructurure i just got a paid access point. and i connect that -- to network switched and then i phone rates for two axis point they connect to each other and then you can get the signal w wirelesslyy rik youu need something to get your signal. i'll be able to gett all these ones a and and allll these onesr surere. up until like the thing and then possibly these houses along right -- manage only -- one one bar you know [inaudible] yeah. man is it the hell of an age we live in really think about it. you. can do this stuff in the seventies. it's not the fault of the kids. really i'm proud of this is unc

>> safe importation of prescription drugs in canada is a worthwhile avenue to explore. candidate make sure is willing to negotiate with us. meantime, we need to lower prescription costs. if i write that his gift into a human pharmacy, it is $800. the difference between the bet clinic and the pharmacist is a multibillion dollar middleman. that entity needs to be transparently processed. medical prescriptions are getting very costly. because of our politicians in washington and big pharma. way thato change the pricing for medical drugs works. how many people can afford $1000 for medication for a week? i cannot. and a note many people who can. i don't see how people can afford to live. we have to make things more streamlined and cheaper for every citizen of our nation. >> i agree. we want to do everything we can to get a stake in the global market. this included all kinds of drugs that looked perfect and form of labeling. how they were manufactured. they were sent to canada. on canadianailable websites. but there was no medicine in the middle. if we can get the real things

i grew up in canada, a country to which my family and i immigrated. you heard me joke about the fact that unlike barack obama, i actually am a kenyan born muslim. that's not the whole story. the whole story is relevant about why voting matters so much to me. in 1981, ten years after my family arrived in canada and having just recently become citizens, my father ran for office. i was 11 at the time and maybe the hardest working campaign volunteer he had. late on election day when it was all done by the counting, my dad and i drove home to get ready for the big night, he was going make history becauoming the fir person of south asian descent to become elected in canada. at 8 p.m. the election broadcasts started. results will take a while except for one consistency in which the results were so obviously they could immediately declare a winn winner. it was my dad's constituency, we had lost the election before we even reached the campaign headquarters. i was devastated. my father wasn't. of course we lost, he told me. i asked him what it was if he knew he

when someone needed help the most this is an example of systemic racism that is simply unacceptable in canada. while a nurse in another hospital worker who were heard insulting choice in that video have since been fired back authorities say that the woman's death is being investigated by the local health agency and also the coroner's office the woman's cousin reginald claims that racism is a daily fact of life for indigenous people in canada. i can say that joyce's case is unfortunately not unique we're always treated differently and it doesn't depend on whether it's a public service or shop or anything else the problem is that we have systemic racism in all spheres we want justice we want to be treated differently nobody defends us and when we try to defend ourselves we often taken for terrorists or criminals when your community is so small it's very difficult to protest this sad event has given energy to the justice for joyce movement it's been much talked about rallies were organized across the whole country other ethnic group supporters in the fight against systemic racism but not the cub

you see big flareups in europe, in canada — you see big flareups in europe, in canada — a big flareup in canada, you saw that today — but it's good. it is disappearing, and vaccines are going to help, and the therapeutics are going to help a lot. mr trump's democratic rival, joe biden, continues to enjoy a comfortable lead in national polls. he has touted the idea of a mask mandate and has generally appeared more forthcoming about the state of his health. i had another test this morning, and i'm clear. i think it's important the president makes sure of two things — one, that he is clear, he is not a spreader, like dr fauci said, the super spreader from the supreme court announcement, and secondly, i think it's important he makes clear to all the people that they should be socially distanced. the eventjoe biden was referring to took place precisly two weeks ago in the rose garden a stone's throw from today's gathering and led to dozens of trump officials and advisers testing positive for coronavirus. i want you to know our nation is going to defeat this terrible china virus, as we

i may not be pointing north, but canada is pretty close. rate in the united states is 2.5 times higher than canada. think about that. ofwe had the same percentage folks dying in canada as we do americansly 90,000 would have died instead of 230,000 americans. if we had handled this pandemic our canada did, 140,000 of fellow americans might still be alive today. think about that. think about that. and yet, despite that, last week, when trump was asked if he would do anything different, he said "not much." really? not much? can't think of anything. i understand the president was anxious to downplay it because he wanted to get credit for the and zeroe inherited blame for the pandemic kia gourd, but it does not work that way. ignored, but it does not work that way. the job does not work that way. making stuff up does not make people's lives better. you have got to have a plan. you have got to put in the work. experiencewith the to get things done, joe biden has concrete plans and policies that will turn our vision of a fairer, stronger country a

whatever the company, ron will buy from canada, and he has cut your prices in half. right? [cheering and applause] when do you think you will start that, ron? when? very soon. so alex, get him approved up. some people say though that doesn't -- my attitude is whatever the hell it takes. [cheering and applause] we have this terrible system that has taken years to reagan, like the balance. -- rig, like the balance. we get rid of all of this nonsense, you like that, mayor? both of you? [cheering and applause] pretty great, ron. do it fast, ron. do it fast. you're not gonna believe what is happening with your numbers. they are coming down big. i don't even want to mention it, but last year, at a 50 -- out of 51 years, this is the first time prescription drug prices have come down. they come down like 1% -- came down like 1%. in one way it tells you something, first time in 51 years that drug prices come down. but now you are talking about 50% to 80% reduction in your prescription drug prices. [cheering and applause] so we've gotta get it all finished up. wouldn't it be terrible
