Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland both say they are seeking appointments at a pharmacy to get vaccinated with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine for COVID-19.

Both Trudeau, 49, and Freeland, 52, became eligible today when Ontario dropped the age to get that vaccine to 40 and above.

Trudeau says he is still working out the details for getting his shot.

Freeland says she has her children online trying to get her an appointment and is now on a waitlist.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that could include barring incoming flights from specific countries, such as India.

The change to mail delivery is expected to increase the time it takes Canada Post to deliver letter mail from an average of three to four days to an average of three to seven days.

Former MPs launch volunteer effort to renew NDP ahead of leadership race

Two former New Democrat MPs who lost their seats in the April election are launching a project to renew the party ahead of its March convention.

The NDP lost official party status when it elected only seven members in April, and Jagmeet Singh stepped down as leader when he lost his own seat.

New BC Green leader Lowan says province must create sustainable funding for cities

Newly elected BC Green Leader Emily Lowan says a wealth tax and a windfall profit tax would bring more money for social services and "ensure that the richest corporations and one per cent in B.C. are paying their fair share."

She says senior levels of government consistently tell municipalities there's no money for social services, "yet when foreign, state-owned companies or America
