Canada is among at least a dozen countries increasing their pledges to COVAX one year after it was created. Canada has not yet said when or how many excess vaccine doses it will donate

Gould is among leaders and ministers attending a virtual COVAX summit hosted by Japan today where at least a dozen countries are increasing their pledges to the facility one year after it was created.

Canada has previously said it will donate excess vaccine doses to COVAX, but has not yet said when or how many. The arm of COVAX helping 92 low and middle income countries is known as the Advance Market Commitment, and Gould was named the co-chair of its engagement group in January to establish a plan so wealthier countries could donate or exchange doses of vaccine directly.

It has given 64 doses for every 100 people, putting it in the top 20 for the total number of doses administered per capita, when second doses are included.India’s Serum Institute was to be one of the major suppliers of COVAX but because of the massive third wave in India this spring, the country has banned further export of doses for any reason until at least the end of the year.

Kenney speaks out against 'cancel culture' in Canada, says founding fathers could be erasedAlberta Premier Jason Kenney spoke out Tuesday afternoon about what he calls an ongoing 'cancel culture' in Canada and warned if it continues, most of the country’s founding fathers could one-day be removed from the history books. Renaming public buildings does not mean we are erasing history. Teaching our history to the next generation means talking about what happened, including the dark and shameful parts. Intergenerational trauma is a reality and we need to honour the victims, not the perpetrators. jkenney taking his cue from Trump. I don't think he understands the irony in what he's saying. He seems to be OK with ERASING the history of the insidious residential schools but worried the perpetrators may be forgotten? U CAN'T CANCEL HISTORY U CAN ONLY CHOOSE TO IGNORE IT. We need to cancel Kenney and quick.
