Political leaders in Canada are hitting career highs in public approval.

"COMMENTARY: Approval ratings soar for Trudeau and premiers, but can that last?

...In a recent Ipsos poll done exclusively for Global News, 74 per cent of Canadians surveyed say they approve of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s performance.

This is the highest level of approval we have ever recorded for the prime minister and at least 30 points higher than he received in last year’s election, when he was only able to salvage a minority government after losing the popular vote to the Conservative Party. This is also 20 points higher than the best rating he received during his extended honeymoon with voters after being first elected in October 2015

...Leading the pack is Quebec’s Premier François Legault, who registered 96 per cent approval. In over 30 years of political polling, I have never seen a political leader get an approval rating of 96 per cent.

"Geographically, people who consider themselves headed towards bankruptcy in the short-term are most likely to be found in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the survey released Thursday found. This is perhaps not surprising, given that western Canada has been hit by a second economic shock from low oil prices at the same time as the economy ground to a near halt."

With the widespread shutdowns of non-essential businesses halting or crimping paycheques across the country, and government aid just beginning to roll out, many financial institutions have made concessions for their customers during the COVID-19 outbreak. This has included allowing many to defer payments on personal loans including mortgages and credit cards."

I expect financial institutions will continue helping people in dire financial straits & the government of Canada will keep printing money to direct deposit into their bank accounts while many millions of Canadians enjoy an all expenses paid months long holiday at home.

"He added that the number of such “financial casualties” could increase over the next year, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau indicating Thursday that restrictions, in some form, could remain in place for a year or more while a vaccine against COVID-19 is developed and made available."

It's possible that a vaccine is years or decades away. We still don't have one for HIV.
