A week ago Prime Minister Trudeau, at his press conference at Rideau Cottage said a “special thanks to all you kids.” He said, “Thank you for helping your parents work from home, for sacrificing your usual day, for doing math class around the kitchen table, and for trusting in science. “

He concluded the address by saying “We are going to have more to say to you soon, so stay tuned.”
