The politicization of COVID-19 in Canada - a podcast by CBC Radio

With case counts surging across the country, Canadians are facing renewed threats of lockdowns to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus. But as the second wave of the pandemic becomes increasingly politicized, our guests say public health officials' message of urgency is being lost on Canadians. To break down the issue, we're joined by Globe and Mail political reporter Marieke Walsh; Jason Markusoff, Alberta correspondent for Macleans; and Yudhvir Jaswal, group publisher at Y Media and host of South Asian Pulse. The Globe and Mail's health columnist, André Picard, also joins us for a COVID-19 update.
