Although it has the infrastructure to administer vaccine shots, Finch-Weston Medical Pharmacy in Toronto s Humbermede neighbourhood doesn t qualify for vaccine rollout based on the province’s selection criteria. (Dave MacIntosh)
A month after Ontario began shipping COVID-19 vaccines to pharmacies around the province, an analysis by CBC News shows some of the hardest-hit neighbourhoods are still waiting while other communities with lower infection rates have a disproportionately high number of pharmacies offering shots.

you also have the head of the club for growth, the group behind the ad, who watalked wit my colleague, kasie hunt, yesterday. why spend money now against beto o rourke? part of it is to set the table for when he does announce. we know beto very well. we ran against him in the senate race last year. he s not what he presents himself. the biggest thing he worked on at the city council was to try to bulldoze a hispanic neighborhood and give the property to his father-in-law to redevelop. what is your sense, alex, on this decision? was it after going after who they see as the biggest threat? was it cutting somebody off at the knees before they move on? yeah, absolutely. i talked to dave macintosh, as well. they really do see beto o rourke as a serious threat. before going up with the ads, they did polling in battleground states. they found o rourke narrowly trailing donald trump. perhaps just as significantly,

trump has led every republican pole taken including the one released yesterday. that shows his tightest lead since july, just four points over retired neuro surgeon ben carson. i saw ben carson last night on megyn kelly. i would love for him to operate on me and i would love to go to church with him but i have no idea how i could vote for the guy. it would be like me going around and talking about being a neuro surgeon. it doesn t explain a 17 point jump in the last month. his views on real issues are frightening. they re frightening and uninformed. you re going to have to ask him got you questions to get answers that are factually wrong.
start, a young reporter was right there. i was riding the buses with him around orange county and central valley. i was there the night he got elected and these candidates tonight are going to be doing everything but putting on reagan masks saying i m the reincar face. a lot of the reagan folks say they don t remember he was always a guy that knew when to cut a deal. if you really want to know ronald reagan, read the reagan diaries. remember, they raised taxes during the reagan administration and had a reform deal going. there s a number of things that got done that are not remembered in a way they should be. remember when you were out in california covering him, i remember reading about how bill had to come out in 1967, the year after he was elected to convince conservatives reagan wasn t a trader because he was
