On this episode of Global National: People in Ontario and Quebec are trying to dig themselves out of a severe snowstorm that’s wreaked havoc on the roads, while also bringing a snow day for children. Mike Drolet and Mike Armstrong report on how the blizzard kept snow plows busy, how the storm was unusual, how it brought out kindness in strangers and how kids made the most out of a day off school.
Meanwhile, Health Canada has now approved Paxlovid, the antiviral medication from Pfizer, to treat people with COVID-19. Abigail Bimman looks at what’s known so far about the drug and who’s being prioritized to receive it.
Also, a Global News exclusive: as tension rises over Russian troops amassing near Ukraine’s border, Global News has learned Canada is now sending a small group of special forces to Ukraine. Mike Le Couteur explains what’s behind the deployment.
Plus, poorer nations are still struggling to fully immunize people against COVID-19, as they grapple with expensive vaccine patents and complex production. Jackson Proskow explains how Texas researchers are trying to make sure no one gets left behind with a groundbreaking new vaccine called COBREVAX, and without a huge price tag.
And a British soldier named Jack Jarvis is on an exhausting journey to row across the Atlantic Ocean solo, all the way from the United Kingdom to the United States. Crystal Goomansingh looks at the goal, the timeline and how he’s honouring his grandfather at the same time.

Global warming? Lmao
So people who refuse vaccines get dibs on treatment.
Their irresponsibility should dictate that they get no treatment whatsoever.
That Steven Flisfeder guy is soo cute 😘
This is incredible new for people who have severe immunosupression who are most at risk of severe covid infection if they catch it, a number of persons like myself, are on cancer drugs that block the mechanism of the MRNA vaccine. That means no matter how many times I am vaccinated (3 of course), my immune system mounts no defence. If I get the virus, I am likely to be hospitalized and put in the ICU. This pill I can take at home could prevent that, save my life AND save thousands of dollars to the health system. A true game changer for persons like myself. If people would all get vaccinated, I would not have to go through this. You take a healthy immune system for granted and put me and those like me at risk each day you wander around and go to work unvaccinated. Please reconsider.
''The findings from Australia’s national science agency, the CSIRO, appeared to show that SARS-CoV-2 can survive on surfaces for significantly longer than many had anticipated.The study, which was peer reviewed, also found the virus responsible for the Covid-19 disease was “extremely robust” at lower temperatures, remaining infectious for a longer period when compared to higher temperatures.''
It really was indeed a very big storm!
Ten years ago we were warned of the danger of global warming. Followed by severe winters. Half a century ago we were warned of the danger of global cooling by no less a personage than eminent professor Carl Sagan in his book Cosmos. Followed by several decades of warmer than normal winters. They never get it right. So now, in order to be on the safe side, it is referred to as climate change. Has there ever been a time when climate did not change? Trust science. On another note, how many of those that have passed away are elderly that are more than 85 years old who succumbed to the effects of old age? That last time I followed someone's advice to keep safe I was robbed. Are we being robbed now?
Soy de una ciudad fría pero siento que no sería capaz de vivir en un lugar así de frío
Corbevax!!!! Yipppeeee! Vaccinate the WORLD, a traditional vaccine, created at the Texas Children's Center for Vaccine Development. Thank you to the Researchers Dr. Maria Elena Bottazz and Dr. Peter Hotez, started this research after the Sars break out in 2003. It is easily produced and they are sharing it with the WORLD. 👍👍👍 😊 "THIS COULD BE A GAME CHANGER!!!!"
I thank myself for leaving Toronto in Dec for 3 months into the sunshine now 🙏 thank you God 😊
They drive like it's a Sumner Day!!!° no wonder there in the ditch
This was nature's way of saying it is wrong to send children into omicron infested classrooms before even the hospitalizations have peaked.
Nothing in Windsor Ontario yet
I love Trump
China playing a blame game is ridiculous…. how about realizing it's the source to begin with🤦♀️
Ford was helping people!😀…unmasked!? 🤬
Quebec – slave of OMacron in France. Always sick war against English part of Canada; and now Full Vaccinated Republic of Quebec in Canada; UNvax-tax for healthy people; sad mutants land;
I went shopping today, essentially no fresh Veggies or fruit… Thank you Justine T.
The only rising tension in Ukraine is the aggressive behavior of N.A.T.O NORTH AMERICA TERRORISTS ORGANIZATIONS.
Ukraine should uphold the Minsk treaty. They are in noncompliance.
9:40 is a bogus claim by China
Check out snow storm of 1971 82cm/32 inches
I'm gonna email some photos of our fat sparrows and pigeons munching off pizza crumbs at some pizza pizza parking lot.
Any update on the Alfonso Davies Myocarditis story?
Old man winter got beaf with Canada.
You think Canada can fight and win against Russia give your head a shake we will lose be neutral be like Switzerland
Omg the premier was unmasked! How terrifying
I took a walk in downtown Quebec city this afternoon. It was all gone. They'd also cleared the sidewalks already. I mean the roads aren't as wide, because they still have to get the snowbanks they created out, but they are open.
To finish things off, we use a blower and dump truck system. The blowers fill the trucks waiting in line one by one and there's nothing left on the ground after that. Quick and efficient equipment and we need it. But it's pretty expensive to maintain if you only get enough snow 2-3 times a year, like Toronto. It takes a LITTLE bit longer there. It's normal.
There is a new condo building being built in front of my place. Every morning, the crew spends 2 hours shoveling the snow off of the floor they are working on. They even poured concrete in this weather. Building the second floor now… Tough people.
Money is an issue that everyone has for a better and luxurious life, life was hard for me until I started trading Shiba Inu and am now earning $20,000 per week.
Wake up and stock up,..
Trudeau's Trucker vaccine mandate will decimate everything by the end of February..panic will ensue unless Trudeau cancels the insanity… desperation will encourage lawlessness
And you think global warming is true😂🤣😅
Corporations take out life insurance policies on EMPLOYEES…
Life insurance industry will go bankrupt…unless they refuse payment for the deaths caused by voluntary vaccine uptake..
Al Gore says the Earth is on fire! Huh!
A long-awaited peer-reviewed report by the Berlin-based Corona Investigation Committee has just been released alleging what many have feared, that the COVID-19 pandemic was planned, the virus man-made, with the aim to funnel people towards taking an experimental and potentially deadly vaccine…
The summary of the committee’s findings may be shocking to the majority of people around the world who follow the government and media narrative on the pandemic. Not surprisingly, given Dr Fuellmich’s high profile and the work he is doing, efforts have been made to discredit him and claim he is a conspiracy theorist, as has happened with many other professionals attempting to expose the alleged fraud.
Dr Fuellmich’s team is working to prepare injunctions and court cases to charge people in government and the health authority in Germany and around the world with fraud and crimes against humanity….
EUA.. EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION remains in effect.. these Covid injections remain experimental until at least 2023..
2:46 Guess the storm was more dangerous than Covid19 lol Premier Doug Ford giving rides unmasked! How hypocritical! Monoclonal antibodies are almost impossible to get but I can chew pain pills like tic tacs and die! What a contradictory world we live in.
Waw this is lovely ❤ I'm so happy ☺️ my life is totally changed. I've been earning $10,250 returns from my $4,000 Investment every 13 days
What a dump Canada is, everything there sucks
Oh no that's snow…..
How is it possible Justin Trudeau isn’t in prison!!!!😱
So is that why the pm steals our tax money through fake charities? To support other countries while ours is rotting? If its such a problem. Take in Ukranian refugees. Thats what we did for the middle east.
Chinas great plan to prevent all other countries from making money from chinese buyers. While we all buy their products. If you cant see that. We are done.
Seems like we should ban products coming from China. Cause they might have covid.
Another money grabber by the pharmaceutical companies

Wyoming Oil drilling in the late 18th century by the Italian Founding House, was for the purpose of starting an Italian chapter of the underworld. After a setback, this would ultimately become the Hawaiian Drug Cartel in the early 20th century.
The underworld Drug Cartel run out of the Samoan Islands by Norway and America, is the one notorious for violence, violating citizens and companion crimes such as human trafficking.
Italy, via propaganda was framed for the Norwegian reputation.
