Takeaways from the Trudeau-Biden virtual hangout
02/24/2021 10:00 AM EST
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.
Welcome to Corridors. I’m your host, Maura Forrest. In today’s edition: what was achieved during the Trudeau-Biden confab, what to do after declaring a genocide, and reaching a juncture on vaccines. Get in touch: [email protected]

The federal government and Indigenious leaders have announced they will work together to co-develop legislation to transform health care in First Nations communities.
The legislation would give First Nations, Métis and Inuit people control over the delivery of health care to their communities.
The aim: to eliminate racism in health-care systems across the country, something that–as the CBC’s Olivia Stefanovich reports–is a long-standing problem.
Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller announced the launch of the project following a two-day virtual meeting on anti-Indigenous racism in Canada’s health care systems, which are administered by the provinces and territories.
