Today's COVID vaccination update:

- Total doses administered: 1,554,003
- New reported today *: 61,733 (new record!)
- Doses given per 100 people: 4.1
- Doses available per 100 people: 4.9

Source: covid19tracker.ca/vaccinationtra…

* Includes some weekend doses.
In total, Canada is up to 1.55 million doses administered, which represents 4.09% of Canada's population. This is out of a total of 1.9M vaccine doses available. Of those receiving at least one dose, at least 448k have received two (i.e., are fully vaccinated).
Turning to individual provinces, here's doses administered over time and the latest share of deliveries used. SK leading with 103.9% of delivered doses administered while NU has administered 45.3%.

Note: Shares >100% are due to squeezing 'extra' doses from vaccine vials.
How does Canada compare to others? Currently, Canada ranks 30 out of 37 OECD countries. Overall, Canada ranks 55 in the world.

The above graphs are easy (and now entirely automated). Gathering the data is hard, and is thanks to Noah Little and other volunteers at @covid_canada (covid19tracker.ca/index.html).

Canada’s equalization program is one of the most important federal transfers — and one of the most misunderstood. To help, I'm *very* excited to share a new tool from @FONCanada: an 🚨interactive equalization simulator🚨

financesofthenation.ca/2021/02/23/new… #cdnecon #cdnpoli🤓😎
This allows you to explore every aspect of the program, and much more.

Potentially most interesting is what's in store for next year. We include a *rough* projection for 2022/23. If this pans out, then every province except BC and AB may receive. Image
Why is that? Both NL and SK end up receiving because their resource revenues fall enough so that the "fiscal capacity cap" doesn't fully claw back their payment. Image

Today's data: national balance sheets for Q3!! 🥳 www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…

Household debt reaches all time high, but an under-reported statistic is that financial and total assets have also reached new highs. #cdnecon
This matters since many will see the riding debt as a sign over 'overleverage', but this isn't necessarily true. I'll paint a more optimistic picture here.

First, debt as a share of assets are very much in line with historical norms.
Second, the "household debt is 173% of income" headline is correct. But financial assets (which doesn't include homes, for example) is 544% of income!

Big omissions in #ableg Fiscal Update: no recognition of our main fiscal challenge (reliance on resource revenues) and no indication of how we'll move forward.

As @RonKneebone so wisely put it: we have a substance abuse problem. Step 1 to overcoming it: admit we have a problem.
Here's a link to his paper: journalhosting.ucalgary.ca/index.php/sppp… (Read it!!)

Also, note this isn't a critique of current govt only. Failing to recognize this as a problem is an all-party challenge; former govt did it repeatedly as well.
I'll add that the province is going to need to consider revenue measures. No, not necessarily sales taxes. Gas taxes, a health levy (payroll tax), taking back CTax revenue, changing PIT rate, etc. Lots of options we should consider.
