“It [the protest] has to stop. This pandemic has sucked for all Canadians. But Canadians know the way to get through it is continuing to listen to science, continuing to lean on each other.”

“We are learning about this virus after two years, almost two years, and we know that it is inevitable now that most of us in the province will be exposed at some point, the way that this virus is being transmitted, this strain of the virus is being transmitted in communities across the province. It is over time very likely that all of us will have exposure to it. How it affects us depends on our own actions and what we are doing.”

“It's not a recipe against the current tidal wave that Ontario is starting to face already, and other provinces will follow. We invest with the booster so that when we loosen restrictions again … we start to see protections through the boosters. That's the idea. We need interventions to blunt the wave so that we have a bit more time so that … we are able to roll [boosters] out and that they are able to start to develop their effectiveness.”

“If we continue on the path we are on now since reopening, we could expect to see a continued sharp increase in cases ... reaching levels not seen before in Canada during the pandemic.”

“This is a crucial moment. We have a window of opportunity to rapidly accelerate vaccine uptake and close the protection gap in younger age groups with the lowest vaccine coverage. There's no magic number [vaccination rate] except to say reach for the stars. I have a 100 per cent mark on that graph. That's where people should be aiming toward as much as possible. I believe that we can accelerate and I know that provinces are pulling all stops in different ways. While that is being rapidly analyzed, I would ask for caution and patience for a booster dose for the rest of the population because we haven't seen enough data, and based on the information we have at hand in Canada we're not seeing a lot of breakthrough infections.”

“Our efforts have got us well and truly over the peak of the third wave nationally and heading for a much better summer, if we can stay the course. While this forecast is very encouraging, it reaffirms that now is not the time to relax our measures. If measures are relaxed, increasing the number of community-wide in-persons contacts, resurgence is likely.”

“Every step of the way, I've been supporting premiers and territorial leaders on what they need to do to keep people safe. As we saw with the Atlantic bubble, as we saw with the the Arctic territories, they make decisions around closing off the regions. That is something that we are supportive of.”

“BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Quebec have not had interprovincial travel restrictions that required travellers from other provinces to self-isolate upon arrival [restrictions were in place in the Atlantic provinces of Canada]. They have had 'advisories' and 'recommendations' against non-essential travel, but without enforcing an isolation, most people have been able to move fairly freely into and out of these provinces.”

“The Atlantic provinces all had strong communication, collaboration [and] cooperation between public health authorities, which is almost entirely absent elsewhere in Canada. That allowed them to coordinate their strategies. They were able to really pounce on new cases with contact tracing, testing and isolation.”

“It's very different now than the first wave, when we saw older people with comorbidities. We're seeing more ... young essential workers.”

“As of February 15th, when you return to Canada through a land border, you'll need to show a 72-hour PCR test, just like air travel. What we can do is in cases of no test to show [is] apply a stiff penalty, a fine and demand and ensure a rapid and complete followup to make sure that they are getting tested, that they are being properly quarantined, that they are not putting at risk the safety of other Canadians by returning home without a clear negative test.”

“The first lockdown was extreme. Everything was closed, everything, and people were really discouraged from even leaving their houses as well. People were terrified and so they were more likely to comply. Now, there isn't a lockdown - some businesses are closed but many are open still. So people are still going about their business, people are still socializing, because the fear is gone.”

“I can't imagine where we'd be if we had to go through another year of this. We're going to see a very small impact with the first 250,000 doses. I would hope that as we get going through the first quarter, with another 2.75 million Canadians immunized, that we'll get somewhere. But the real turn from the standpoint of broad community spread is going to come when we do that second wave [of vaccinations] through April, May, June. To get to a level where you slow this down, you need to vaccinate about 20 million Canadians minimum. That's 400,000 shots a day for three months solid, seven days a week - that's a massive task. I'm very optimistic that we're going to see this thing slow in the summer, meaningfully, and that we will be breathing more easily in the fall. But I think we've got a tough few months ahead.”

“As soon as Health Canada has provided its approval, we are well-placed to begin deliveries to Canadians as soon as possible. We will kick into the delivery process ASAP. That's why we have the refrigerators procured. That's why we have the needles, syringes and gauze procured.”

“Everyone wants to know when this is going to be over. What Canadians can know is we have the plan necessary to get through this, to get the vaccines here, to get the vaccines into people's arms, and we're going to do it with the provinces who have a high degree of expertise on this. It is so important that these vaccines be safe for Canadians and we're not going to cut any corners on making sure that, when Health Canada gives the thumbs up, that this vaccine is safe to go and to release into the population, [that] people can know that it will indeed be safe.”

“The fact that the doctors highlighted that if all goes according to plan, we should be able to have a majority of Canadians vaccinated by next September, puts us in very good stead. We’re working extremely hard to deliver as quickly and as safely as possible. Canada is well prepared for large-scale roll-outs of vaccines, but this will be the biggest immunization in the history of the country. We must reach everyone who wants a vaccine, no matter where they live. For our part, the federal government has already purchased freezers to work for specific vaccine candidates.”

“Our best protection, now and into the holiday season, is to limit errands and outings to the essentials, keep in-person social activities to our existing household and strictly and consistently maintain public health practices. That doesn't mean we can't continue to find safe ways to have the meaningful celebrations that are so important for maintaining our traditions and social connections. We have seen how creative Canadians can be, from online game nights and sharing special meals together virtually with people outside our household, to warmly dressed, physically distanced walkabouts and cheering our neighbours with decorated balconies, windows and lawns.”

“We are not on a good trajectory. I think across the board, across Canada, we have to say the time is now, with urgency, that we limit contacts. However that is being done at the local level, that is the underlying principle. Keep those contacts down by restrictions and of course each individual doing their work. This won't be forever. Recently there has been some really good news about vaccine development. Keep this beacon of hope in mind as we all come together, apart, to do what is needed. Right now every effort you make as an individual matters.”
