Watch the video hereIt’s not a big ask to continue to wear a mask…We will not be in this situation forever, but the duration of this pandemic is up to all of us.

We can end the emergency of #COVID19 in 2022. #VaccinEquity now. @WHO https://t.co/Txh78BdP92 When will the pandemic end? If you look at the global level, pandemic may take years to end.

It may subside in one country but maybe other countries are still suffering. The situation is so dynamic, we cannot give you an exact answer But we won't be in this condition forever, but till then we have to keep following some protocols.

It’s not a big ask to continue to wear a mask. Eradicating this virus is not possible, so our goal is not to stop the virus but reduce the spread so that we can reduce the pressure on the health system. What is the difference between Omicron and flu? I won't call it bad flu.

As Canada’s home prices soared during COVID-19, real-estate money laundering audits fell 64%

anti-money laundering watchdog plummeted during the COVID-19 pandemic, new figures show, a deeply “troubling” sign for authorities tracking dirty money, financial crime experts say.The data from the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) showed money laundering audits in real estate dropped from 146 in 2019-20 to just 53 in 2020-21 – a decrease of 64 per cent. That’s down from nearly 200 audits of real-estate entities in 2018-19.The new numbers, obtained through an access to information request, come as Canada’s housing market has been on fire for the last two years, with prices reaching historic levels fuelled by ultra-low interest rates and a lack of supply across the country.
