"How did we – the most highly educated cohort in the history of humanity – get here?"
We report this week on the threat to equality rights posed by medical assistance in dying; on why so many Canadians seem to be succumbing to the skepticism spread about COVID-19 despite the great news of imminent vaccines; and on the death of Father John Walsh, who served Montreal Catholics for 54 years and died as he was about to preside at a funeral.
How has your community been responding to COVID-19? And how has that affected you?
