The Current for Nov. 12, 2020
Today on The Current:
In the wake of last week's presidential vote in the U.S., Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri reflects on the divisions it revealed south of the border, why his team won't stop fighting against racism, and what it means to be a leader. He also speaks with Matt Galloway about what the future may hold for the upcoming basketball season.
Then, more than six months after three-year-old Dylan Ehler went missing from his grandmother's Nova Scotia yard, his family has continued to hold out hope of finding him. Police say they don't believe there was any foul play, yet the toddler's family has had to hire a lawyer after being subjected to vitriol on social media. We look at what their case could mean for cyberbullying laws in this country.
And as the U.S. continues to shatter COVID-19 case records, we look at how the recent presidential election is impacting how the country tackles the health crisis. To explain how the transition of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden is impacting the pandemic in the U.S., we speak with Renae Moch, Bismarck-Burleigh public health director, in North Dakota; Josh Wingrove, White House reporter for Bloomberg News; and Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.
