Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is telling Canadians not to pin too much hope on a successful report from drug maker Pfizer about a COVID-19 vaccine.

Pfizer says it seems effective in clinical trials.

But Trudeau told a news conference in Ottawa this morning the vaccine will not come in time for those who are getting sick or infected right now.

Canada has bought the rights to about 300 million doses of vaccine from a number of potential suppliers, including Pfizer.

Trudeau says, new administration doesn't mean he'll stop fighting for Canadian jobs and interests

While he congratulates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on their US election victory, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says a new administration doesn't mean he'll stop fighting for Canadian jobs and interests if the president-elect seeks to cut international trade.

Trudeau says tariffs and US barriers to Canadian imports imposed under President Donald Trump didn't just hurt Canadian businesses and workers, Americans suffered from them as well.
