The Chauvin verdict and Ontario’s COVID crisis

Elamin and Rosie turn their attention south to reflect on Tuesday’s verdict in the Derek Chauvin case.

But what happens if Ontario can’t or won’t take further necessary action to combat this third wave of COVID-19? What options are on the table then?
