As Canada heads into the fall with rising COVID-19 cases, the debate is heating up over the degree to which the country should use vaccine passports with many provinces including Quebec and Ontario announcing the rollout of their passports.

This is day one of implementing vaccine passports' requirement in Quebec and our Mike Armstrong takes a look at the rollout and the resistance.

In Ontario as well, residents will soon have to show proof they've been fully vaccinated as province rolled out the details for its COVID-19 passport, it’s the fifth province to mandate proof of vaccination. But as Jamie Maraucher reports, the patch-work of COVID-19 passports across the country comes with concerns.

On the election front: The federal campaign has officially hit the halfway point with only 18 days until the federal election. Today the Liberals unveiled their full platform including how much their promises will cost.

Our chief political correspondent David Akin is travelling with the Liberals and has more on the promises and the price tag.

The Liberal leader is taking heat for standing by Liberal candidate Raj Saini, who is seeking re-election in Ontario riding of Kitchener Centre, while facing allegations of misconduct.

Women who work for the Liberals including one who works in Saini’s office, have accused him of inappropriate behavior.

As Mercedes Stephenson explains, concerns about Saini’s behaviour was brought all the way to the prime minister’s office.

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole is campaigning on the party’s plan to build key infrastructure including public transit, roads and 5G telecom networks, and promising to scrap the Liberal government’s infrastructure bank aimed at attracting private dollars for public projects.

Mike Le Couteur is looking at how O'Toole is being grilled over the balance between his promises, and balancing the budget.

The battle for votes in Quebec is headed for a showdown between the Liberals and the Bloc Quebecois. But the New Democrats are confident they have a shot too. That’s despite the NDP all but disappearing from Quebec in the 2019 election. Abigail Bimman is travelling with the party and looks at what a comeback could look like.

Plus, a look at Canada’s most successful day yet at the Tokyo Paralympics with two record-breaking Gold medals and a Silver.
