Canada Isn't Ready for the Next Pandemic — Here's Why

Visit https://www.tplmedia.ca

Canada still has no clear post-COVID playbook — and a plague scare in Siberia is raising uncomfortable questions about what happens next.

If another outbreak hit tomorrow, would governments, businesses, schools and Canadians actually know what to do?

In this episode, we break down:

• Why the reported plague scare in Siberia is renewing concerns about biological threats and pandemic preparedness
• Why Canada still hasn’t conducted the kind of comprehensive COVID-19 review seen in many other countries
• Whether businesses, schools and communities have clear protocols for another major public-health emergency
• How COVID changed public trust, vaccine attitudes and Canadians’ willingness to follow future emergency measures
• Concerns around medical stockpiles, emergency alerts and coordination between federal, provincial and local governments
• Why Canada may need an independent commission and a national pandemic response blueprint before the next crisis
