OTTAWA - Canada is putting together options to retaliate if Europe breaks its promise not to cut off Canada s shipments of COVID-19 vaccines, though Europe appears to be keeping that promise at least for now.
Procurement Minister Anita Anand told the House of Commons Monday a new shipment of vaccine from Pfizer-BioNTech was on its way. It s the first shipment from the companies in more than a week because of a planned production slowdown to expand a Pfizer plant in Puurs, Belgium.

Former Green party leader Elizabeth May speaks ahead of the party s leadership announcement in Ottawa on Oct. 3, 2020.
OTTAWA The Green Party is accusing mainstream parties of freezing it out of chances to question Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Parliament.
The Greens’ parliamentary leader, Elizabeth May, raised the alarm this week on what she described as an undemocratic practice that leaves the 1.1 million Green Party voters in the country with less of a voice in the House of Commons.
The Liberals, Conservatives, Bloc Québécois and NDP have conspired to “block” the Greens from holding Trudeau’s feet to the fire by preventing her party from asking questions on Wednesdays the day the prime minister responds to questions from all MPs she told HuffPost Canada Friday.
