March 11 will mark one year since the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a pandemic. On March 12 of last year, the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed Sophie Grégoire Trudeau had tested positive and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had gone into self-isolation. The day after that Friday the 13th the government postponed the federal budget and abruptly shut down Parliament. One year later, Canada’s political landscape has been altered indelibly and yet, somehow, is just the same as ever.

Welcome to March and the countdown to Budget 2021 Canada’s first budget in two years and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s first budget ever, expected to be a roadmap for Canada’s post-pandemic recovery and, quite possibly, an election platform of sorts for the Liberals. No pressure.

If you’d been wondering whether Zoom calls between government leaders are any different from your awkward Zoom calls with family, the answer is no. Somebody’s half-yelling (Trudeau). Somebody mentions that it’s someone else’s birthday (in this case, Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau’s) and no one really reacts. Somebody makes a joke about being bad at French (yes, it was Biden) and everyone else smiles indulgently from behind their masks. You know, standard Zoom fare.

Justin Trudeau wants to make sure “all the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed” before drawing any conclusions about whether what’s happening in Xinjiang constitutes genocide. It’s unclear how exactly those i’s will get dotted or those t’s crossed, given China is unlikely to allow an independent investigation of its treatment of the Uighur ethnic minority. But the prime minister’s comments Tuesday were the latest step in this government’s delicate dance with China.
