In an effort to help track infectious diseases across North America, and perhaps around the world, Canada once relied on American-fueled data. In late-January, Donald Trump re-entered the White House, and things quickly changed. Over the past few months, America’s public health institutions have been gutted under the second Trump administration, and this looming crisis has left several countries scrambling to find alternative paths to track viruses.

Plus, we deliver the latest breaking news as it happens, right here on CFRA’s Ottawa Now.
