The CEO of a casino company valued at nearly $2bn (£1.6bn) has quit after he and his wife were charged with lying to officials to get a Covid vaccine.
Rod Baker, 55, of the Great Canadian Gaming Corp, and his wife Ekaterina, 32, had travelled to the remote northern Yukon territory for the jabs.
The region, home to many indigenous people, has a faster vaccination rate than in the rest of Canada, data shows.
The couple had posed as motel workers, but were quickly found out by locals.
They were discovered after asking to be taken to the airport straight after the vaccination last week in the small community of Beaver Creek, on the border with the US state of Alaska.

Same with some of our politicians - 30 year old politicos are getting vaccine before 80 year olds - because they are special people. Way to lead from the rear DC.

Shame on young, healthy Congress members jumping the vaccine line
The coronavirus vaccine is the new status symbol, the ultimate signifier of privilege, chutzpah and exclusivity — the things that separate the ultra-elite and powerful from ordinary chumps. It is a…
