It seems like a long time ago now, but back in December 2019, Justin Trudeau was a bruised prime minister who had just been given a second chance. The big question was what he would do with it.
Then a global pandemic happened.
COVID-19 made for a different kind of year one that might have reset the public s image of Trudeau. Now it sets up what promises to be a pivotal year both for Trudeau s own political project and for a wide swath of public policy in Canada.
HALIFAX Nova Scotia reported four new cases of COVID-19 on Wednesday, all identified in the province s Central Zone. Nova Scotia Health Authority’s labs completed 2,232 Nova Scotia tests on Tuesday.
