It's been weeks since Canada's hardest hit provinces tightened up measures to try and curb the spread of COVID-19, but the virus is still running rampant. The rate of infection over the last seven days across the country shows Alberta is the primary concern. It's rate is more than twice as high as Quebec and over three times higher than Ontario. On Sunday, Alberta once again recorded over 1,800 new cases. As Abigail Bimman reports, there are calls for stricter measures, but some Albertans are protesting the ones already in place.

And after shattering the record for cases in a single day on Saturday, today Quebec reached another stark statistic. The province surpassed 150,000 total COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began. That's the most in Canada. And as Mike Armstrong reports, there are predictions the crisis will just get worse.

For the first time Ontario is reporting more than 1,900 new cases of COVID-19. It's the second straight day of record breaking numbers. Much of the Greater Toronto area is locked down, but one region is still open and people are heading to malls there to do their Christmas shopping. As Morganne Campbell reports, the medical community fears that may push the case load and stress the health care system even more than it already has.
