QU APPELLE-The Valley that Calls
A brave’s legendary answer to the dying sighs of an Indian maiden named the lake-linked Saskatchewan valley that refreshes the prairies.

Good evening to you.
We begin with COVID-19 vaccines. And while a maximum of 3.1 million of them could be administered in Canada every week, the country’s vaccine rollout is only operating at about half capacity, with 1.8 million people (58 per cent of 3.1 million) getting a shot in the last seven days.
The maximum number is based on a survey of provinces’ and territories’ individual capabilities, which was compiled by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). The agency recently reported the figure to the House of Commons Health committee, following up on a request from NDP health critic Don Davies. Charlie Pinkerton and Iain Sherriff-Scott have the details.

In Monday’s budget, the federal Liberal government revealed it will soon hold consultations about how Ottawa should apply carbon tariffs.
The promise signals the start of what should be a politically low-risk pursuit for the government, given that the official Opposition’s own recently released environmental plan also endorsed carbon tariffs, known also as “border carbon adjustments.”
Border carbon adjustments are levies added to imported goods from countries whose emissions don’t meet the standards of the destination country’s.
Various reports on climate-change policy suggest that border carbon adjustments are a sensible next step for nations that implement emissions-pricing systems, such as a carbon tax.
