“#Canada inks more vaccine deals. Will it be enough?<\/strong>”
\nPolitics Insider for Sept. 1: Johnson & Johnson and Novavax are the latest pharma companies to promise doses to Canada, a rent relief program hangs in limbo and here’s how Erin O’Toole won the Tory crown<\/p>\n

\n Welcome to a sneak peek of the\u00a0<\/em>Maclean\u2019s\u00a0Politics Insider\u00a0news<\/a>letter.\u00a0Sign up to get it delivered\u00a0straight to your inbox.<\/em><\/p>\n

Make that four contracts signed for possible COVID-19 vaccines. The feds have inked deals with Johnson & Johnson<\/strong> and Novavax<\/strong>, a pair of pharmaceutical companies whose potential vaccines\u2014Ad26.COV2.S and NVX-CoV2373\u2014are among the leading candidates worldwide. Canada has secured 38 million doses<\/strong> of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and 76 million<\/strong> of Novavax\u2019s candidate. That\u2019s in addition to a combined 76 million doses from two other candidates, made by\u00a0Pfizer<\/strong> and Moderna<\/strong>, currently in the midst of clinical trials.<\/p>\n

Procurement Minister Anita Anand<\/strong> says the combined total doses could reach up to 190 million<\/strong>\u2014assuming, of course, the vaccines clear trials and are declared safe and effective by federal regulators. Amir Attaran, a bioscientist who has slammed the government for moving too slowly<\/strong> on buying up vaccines, worried the Novavax candidate\u2014still in early stages of trials\u2014confirms his fears<\/strong> that Canadians \u201cshould not expect this to end well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anxious commercial renters received little clarity from the feds yesterday on the future of a federal-provincial rent-relief program<\/strong> that was set to expire at the end of August\u2014and which many landlords and tenants complained was too complicated to be effective. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland<\/strong> did announce an extension of the Canada Emergency Business Account, a key source of liquidity for revenue-starved entrepreneurs. But she was mum on the future of the rent-relief program, apart from saying she and her provincial counterparts are \u201cworking on it,\u201d and will \u201chave more to say about it very soon.\u201d The\u00a0Globe and Mail<\/em> later reported the program would not be renewed.<\/p>\n

Just in time for the rent program\u2019s planned wind-up, the parliamentary budget officer published its estimated cost. PBO Yves Giroux pegged the price tag this year at $931 million<\/strong>, a little more than one-third of the $2.4 billion<\/strong> budgeted by the feds on its mega-list of COVID-19 spending totals.<\/p>\n

How did Erin. O\u2019Toole win?<\/strong> The Tory leadership\u2019s final ballot results tell a simple story. O\u2019Toole won by scooping up the second-choice votes of the social<\/a> conservatives vying for the party crown. But a detailed breakdown of the riding-by-riding results<\/strong> reveals the power of so-con voters, the regional dynamics that pushed O\u2019Toole over the top and the eye-opening rise of Leslyn Lewis<\/strong>, a one-time candidate with little profile before 2020.<\/p>\n

Lewis\u2019s second-ballot performance might have briefly made both of her rivals nervous<\/strong>, even if she ultimately fell short. The upstart third-place finisher nabbed 30 per cent of total available points before dropping off. But that included a dismal performance in Quebec, where she won just a single riding on the second ballot and topped 30 per cent in just seven ridings. In the rest of Canada, Lewis leapfrogged O\u2019Toole<\/strong> and finished just a hair\u20140.44 percentage points\u2014behind MacKay.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

New Brunswick\u2019s PCs are on track for a big win:<\/strong>\u00a0338Canada\u2019s Philippe J. Fournier<\/strong> commissioned a poll from Mainstreet that took the temperature of the province\u2019s voters. Writing in\u00a0Maclean\u2019s<\/em>, Fournier projected the results if the election, set for Sept. 14, were held on Aug. 27. He found that Premier Blaine Higgs<\/strong>\u2018s bet on a mid-pandemic election might pay off.<\/p>\n

The updated\u00a0338Canada New Brunswick projection\u00a0shows the Progressive Conservatives are poised to win the most seats in the New Brunswick legislature should these numbers translate into actual results on election day. As of this moment, the Progressive Conservatives are projected to win an average of 28 seats<\/strong> to the Liberals 17 seats. The threshold for a majority at the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly is 25 seats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Angus Reid Institute\u2019s latest poll on premier app<\/a>roval ratings<\/strong> welcomed Newfoundland\u2019s new leader with a thud. Andrew Furey<\/strong>\u2018s first approval rating clocked in at 34 per cent, good enough for the title of Least Popular Premier. The full report makes clear that only 10 per cent\u00a0disapprove<\/em> of Furey, which leaves a whopping 55 per cent on the fence.\u00a0B.C.\u2019s John Horgan<\/strong> tops the list at 69 per cent. Doug Ford<\/strong>, whose pandemic bounce appears to be holding, sits second at 66 per cent. This gang of governmental guys could be in for a rancour-filled reckoning<\/strong> in the next poll, after millions of kids head back to school.<\/p>\n

Three RCMP intelligence analysts claim in a new lawsuit that senior Mounties ignored warnings about\u00a0Cameron Ortis<\/strong>, a top official in national intelligence coordination until the Mounties accused him of selling secrets to foreign powers<\/strong>. The suit claims Ortis \u201cbullied and undermined\u201d the plaintiffs \u201cin an effort to drive them out and replace them with \u2018individuals over whom he had a greater level of personal control.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking of spies:<\/strong> Seventy-five years ago this week, Igor Gouzenko<\/strong>\u00a0famously defected from the Soviet Union and turned over evidence that Canada\u2019s future Cold War foe had cultivated a spying operation from its Ottawa embassy. Gouzenko and his family lived at this relatively nondescript building<\/strong> in Centretown across from Dundonald Park.<\/p><\/div>\n
