Half of Canadians say governments hiding full truth on COVID-19 crisis: poll cdnpoli

The most recent survey from Leger and the Association for Canadian Studies found 50 per cent of respondents felt governments were deliberately withholding information about the pandemic of the novel coronavirus, which has killed thousands and ground the economy to a halt. Bourque found those numbers quite high, considering the results suggest people also seem to believe they are not getting the full picture.
The province is also home to nearly 48,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 as of Monday, as well as just over 4,000 deaths — the highest number in Canada.
