8:30 – Columnist Matt Gurney says Canada’s COVID-19 failures can easily become a partisan blame game, but the real reason Canada wasn’t adequately prepared for COVID-19 is because we failed to learn from our history, including the SARS pandemic, and we also failed to imagine the worst-case scenario could ever happen. He says you can look to your own home for an example of the same effects: do you have enough supplies to survive a one-week emergency? Gurney joins Gormley to explain why he feels Canada’s COVID-19 issues can be traced back to our long-standing complacency.
