Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he plans to get a shot of the AstraZeneca vaccine as soon as his office manages to book an appointment for him at a vaccination clinic or a pharmacy now that age restrictions for the vaccine have been adjusted in Ontario.
“My intention has been, as I’ve said many times, to get vaccinated as quickly as my turn comes up,” Trudeau told reporters. “With the news that the AstraZeneca is now available for [ages] 40 and up in Ontario, my office and I are busy trying to book appointments and we will be sure to invite everyone along to help encourage others to get vaccinated as quickly as possible.”
President Trump Finishes Off Justin Trudeau After He Double-Deals
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went off on his own Saturday, after a successful G7 summit that ended in a deal, to trash talk President Trump. Trudeau was sweetness and light when he met with Trump but apparently thought he could comfortably damage him once he was gone. President Trump finished him off with two tweets.
Lindsey Graham stuck up for the President this morning on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. He said the President will not tolerate this type of betrayal nor should he.
Trudeau was upset that the U.S. is slapping a 25% tariff on their imported steel and a 10% tariff on their aluminum. Both of those industries are facing extinction in our country. That is a national security threat. A country without a steel industry would not survive a war.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Joe Biden on Wednesday announced tax credits for certain businesses that pay employees who take time off to get COVID-19 shots, a new effort to involve corporate America in his vaccination campaign. I m calling on every employer, large and small, in every state to give employees the time off they need with pay to get vaccinated, the Democratic president said.
The tax credits will apply to businesses with fewer than 500 employees, he said.
In a speech, Biden also said he expects the United States to reach his 100-day goal of getting 200 million coronavirus vaccine shots in arms by the end of the day, even as the nation faces an increase in infections.
