The Current for Nov. 3, 2020
Today on The Current:
Matt Galloway talks to Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada's chief public health officer, about rising COVID-19 infection rates and the need for a health equity approach to the pandemic.
Plus, after a long campaign like no other, it's election day in the U.S. — how are voters feeling? We check in with some of our neighbours to the south: Pennsylvania-born and Toronto-based writer Johanna Schneller; Nashville student Alex Schramkowski, who is chair of the Tennessee College Republican Committee; Texas student Mariah Campbell, who has been helping to get out the vote; and Sandy Przybylak, a volunteer with the Green Party of the United States.
And Vicki Laveau-Harvie became a literary star in her 70s with her incredible story of growing up in rural Alberta in a family with an ailing father and a narcissistic mother. She discusses why her memoir, The Erratics, seems to connect so much with readers — and why writing it wasn't the catharsis people assume.
