Canadians are not getting an Amazon Prime Day this year.

An Amazon spokesperson confirmed to Daily Hive that the company has cancelled the 2021 iteration of Prime Day in Canada.

“Due to the impact of COVID-19, we have decided to not move forward with Prime Day in Canada this year while we focus on the health and safety of our employees, customers and selling partners,” the spokesperson said.

Amazon previously announced that the annual two-day sale would be postponed in Canada.

Three of Amazon’s Ontario-based fulfillment centres were ordered to partially close in May after several workers tested positive for COVID-19.

In March, Ontario’s Ministry of Labour opened investigations into five Toronto-area Amazon warehouses due to COVID-19 and other workplace safety-related concerns.

Usually held in July, 2020’s Amazon Prime Day was delayed until October due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Daily Hive has reached out to Amazon and will update this story accordingly.

Individuals would become eligible for their booster shot eight months after their second shot of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. Those who received the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine may need boosters in the future, but more data is needed, health officials said. The Bidens received their second Pfizer Covid vaccine shots in January, so they would become eligible for the booster shot in September, the President told ABC News.

Pence, Diverging From Trump, Says He Was ‘Proud’ to Certify Election

Speaking at the Lincoln-Reagan Dinner in Manchester, N.H., this month, Mr. Pence admitted that he and Mr. Trump might never see eye to eye about the Capitol riot. Former Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday night made his most forceful attempt yet to separate himself from his former boss, Donald J. Trump, on the issue of certifying the 2020 election results. Speaking at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., Mr. Pence defended the constitutionally mandated role he played in certifying the Electoral College vote on Jan. 6, when a violent mob of Trump loyalists — some chanting “Hang Mike Pence” — stormed the Capitol while the president did nothing for hours to stop them. #vicepresident #riot #speaking #beproud #manchester #night #capitol #election #president #trump #mikepence #vice #speak
