With Canada’s vaccine supply appearing to have stabilized, at least for now, the latest point of pandemic-related friction between the federal and provincial governments seems to be cross-border traffic — specifically, the “non-essential travel” that at least one premier is openly blaming for the current third wave of infections. As the Star’s Susan Delacourt reports, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc “fired off a letter to Ontario this weekend, asking (Premier) Doug Ford and his cabinet to identify which international travellers they want banned from entering the province.” “LeBlanc’s four-page letter … is a reply to Ford’s escalating bid to pin the blame on Trudeau for the third wave of the pandemic, which included an attack ad launched by the provincial Conservatives last week,” she notes.
