Sunpostmedia 24 Sussex Dts August 26 2019 1 Detailed Tables What to do with 24 Sussex? Majority Say Prime Minister Should Have an Official Residence—a Family House, Not a White House—But Don’t Tear-Down What’s There and Build New: Renovate and Upgrade in the $14 million Range For Public Release August 26, 2019 These are some of the Data Tables of a DART & Maru/Blue Voice Canada Poll conducted as part of a regular sounding of Canadians on various issues and matters that affect their lives as citizens, consumers, and voters for the Sun Network/Postmedia. The research is created and analyzed under the direction of veteran pollster John Wright, who is a Partner of DART C-Suite Communicators. Data was collected by Canada’s national survey sample research provider Maru/Blue using their Maru Voice of Canada Omni Online curated panel. The survey was conducted among 1,512 randomly selected Canadian adults who are members of Maru/Blue’s Online panel on August 16/17, 2019. Respondents could opt in for either official language. The results have been weighted by education, age, gender, and region to match the population, according to Census data. This is to ensure the sample is representative of the entire adult population of Canada. Reporting of results from Prince Edward Island, Nunavut and both the Yukon and Northwest Territories is excluded because of extremely small sample sizes. Discrepancies in or between totals are due to rounding. The precision of this DART & Maru/Blue Voice Canada Poll Online poll is measured using a Bayesian Credibility Interval. In this case, the poll is accurate to within +/ - 2.9 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, had all Canadian adults been polled. The credibility interval will be wider among subsets of the population and individual provinces. Paired/Overlap T-Test for Means, Paired/Overlap Z-Test for Percentages Uppercase letters indicate significance at the 95% level. 2 Visit http://www.dartincom.ca/polls/ for all written releases and detailed tables.

  • Trudeau Attacks Calls to Close Borders: “There Is a Lot of Knee-Jerk Reaction That Isn’T Keeping People Safe”
    The road to Canada's COVID-19 outbreak, Pt. 3: timeline of federal government failure at border to slow the virus Author of the article: David Staples • Edmonton Journal Publishing date: April 3, 2020 • 29 minute read Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks from behind a podium bearing the hyperlink to a federal government website about the coronavirus disease during a press conference about COVID-19 in front of his residence at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, on Sunday, March 22, 2020. JUSTIN TANG / THE CANADIAN PRESS Pt. 3, March: Trudeau attacks calls to close borders: “There is a lot of knee-jerk reaction that isn’t keeping people safe” COVID-19 exploded upon the world in March 2020, shutting down much of the economy in Europe and North America by mid-month, just as it had already done in Asia in January and February. But early in the month, the Liberal government in Ottawa clung to the notion that it must not close its borders to travellers, or quarantine them when they arrived, even as that was by then standard practice in Asia, and even as infection brought in by travellers were spreading in Canadian towns and cities. Yet by the end of the month, the Liberal policy did a complete about-face, shutting down our borders. In Parts 1 and 2, we looked at the multi-partisan in effort to dig in and question Canada‟s border policies on COVID-19. In Part. 3 of our series, the timeline is extended into March, detailing the key quotes and debates leading to the federal policy change.

  • Canada, US Extend Border Restrictions to July 21
    Canada, US extend border restrictions to July 21. 16 June 2020, by Rob Gillies Many Canadians fear a reopening. The novel coronavirus has sickened more than 2 million people in the U.S. and killed more than 115,000, according to Johns Hopkins University. It has sickened more than 99,000 and killed 8,175 in Canada. Americans who are returning to the U.S. and Canadians who are returning to Canada are exempted from the border closure. Immediate family members of Canadians are also allowed entry into Canada, but must quarantine for 14 days. And essential cross-border workers like healthcare In this photo taken May 17, 2020, de Rham family professionals, airline crews and truck drivers are members from the U.S. and Canada visit at the border still permitted to cross. Truck drivers are critical as between the countries in Peace Arch Park, in Blaine, they move food and medical goods in both Wash. With the border closed to nonessential travel directions. Much of Canada's food supply comes amid the global pandemic, families and couples across from or via the U.S. the continent have found themselves cut off from loved ones on the other side. But the recent reopening of Peace Arch Park, which spans from Blaine into Surrey, British Columbia, at the far western end of the 3,987-mile contiguous border, has given at least a few separated parents, siblings, lovers and friends a rare chance for some better-than-Skype visits. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson) Canada and the US have agreed to extend their agreement to keep their border closed to non- essential travel to July 21 during the coronavirus pandemic.

During the daily media briefing outside his residence at Rideau Cottage, Trudeau said the number of people a business employs will not determine its eligibility. Charities and companies big and small will qualify, he said. For those companies experiencing a decrease in revenues of at least 30 per cent, the government will cover up to 75 per cent of a salary on the first $58,700, which could mean payments of up to $847 a week. The prime minister also encouraged businesses to top up their employees wages with the remaining 25 per cent of their salaries. Trudeau said the wage subsidies will be retroactive to March 15, 2020. More details of the program will be unveiled tomorrow by Finance Minister Bill Morneau.
