I want one of these for social distancing... need to do a few measurement checks first to make sure I can get it down the grocery store and pharmacy aisles.

Toronto restaurant owner under fire for controversial COVID-19 comments, language | Globalnews.ca
"It has been a long, eye-opening week," the owner of Adamson Barbecue told Global News.www.google.ca
Better not doubt quarantine you will end up in the paper
Back in the Soviet Union, people used to earn about $4-$7 dollars a month, which was kinda enough for stocking fridge and that's basically was it. No money you can save. The TV cost you about $30-$40, so if someone would go to a store and buy a TV, the guy in the store (the store was owned by the government of course) would call the authorities, and they would come to your house and ask where did you get the money to buy a TV. Basically, snitching. The snitch would get a reward. And if you were to criticize the government in any way (aka express your opinion that does not match the dogma), you would be risking ending up a few 1000s miles away. There was no such thing as apologies... LOL...
So yeah, if the COVID response initially was panic-based, this can be understood, but it is due that the government officials who made these decisions look back on the decisions they made and re-assess them based on what's known by the science and numbers. Of course they won't but at this point we can hope that in a week things start opening slowly... BTW, the WHO, who of course have no credibility left whatsoever, now praises Sweden, after blasting its response to COVID! And Sweden's response was actually THE common sense one.

Yep! One should remember how the PROVINCIAL governments were begging Aladdin Trudeau to close the airports, and he did not do it. Border control is the responsibility of the federal government and it failed in this one badly. So once Ford and other Premiers started putting police to the airports, slowly the drama teacher started to react. But flights from China were landing in March.
@Wave Runner, you better measure if you can get in the buggy door there big fella.
Actually no, the liberals define the qualities of conservatives all the time. There is a 5-10 word vocabulary that basically summarizes that (this applies more to modern liberals) - racist, sexist, homophobic, misogynistic, and so on.
Put it another way - if a conservative disagrees with liberals, he/she thinks that a liberal is a good person with a bad ideas. If a liberal disagrees with conservative, he/she thinks that a conservative is a bad person. We see it all the time.
It is always interesting to see who is who... this is yet another very revealing thread. I guess with all our differences here, perhaps we all could agree that it is better to have a 1st world problems than a 3rd world problems... So hang in there, 8-9 more days. I can see line ups starting on marinas beginning 12:01 am May 11 
The main takeaway is this these were not that difficult of decisions to make probably. You can call them human which is true ut in reality my 9 year old knew enough to shut the borders down..... everybody knows the proper decision to do with school in Ontario yet our human political crew cant seem to get a handle on it ...its times like this leadership shows it true colors

If they could get the kids back safely, the last month would be important, especially for the senior grades. 39%'s are being bumped up to 51% and pass, with no final exam's in the last month, then passed off into the real world with no clue, ask those in business about the quality educated they were getting before this shit happened?
Sorry the teach's can't start summer break early, but they are being paid, and as far as I know, are in this with everyone else and should still be working preparing on-line learning.
I do agree, unless the ground hog see's his shadow again, and this crud leaves tomorrow, there's not going to be any more school this year, but the teach's are still required, to do their part?

I don't care if people want to blame the government for what's going on
You are talking yourself in circles.... so which Canadian laws do we abide by?
You are talking about the Canadian laws that differ ever 30 miles you drive down the road! LOL no more bs about Canadian laws.
And this is a direct reflection of our government. You are wrong to say it isn’t!
And yes we should care about what the USA is doing because it directly affects us!

nobody will be putting their boats in the water...the lifting of the restrictions on marinas says they can start working getting boats ready..spring start up...NOONE is allowed at their dock at a marina...we took a drive to Port Bruce today..no docks in the water so i'm assuming Greg can get his docks in, get the boats ready..but nobody will be able to access their boat..soon, folks, soon..maybe by May 2-4??
I towed buddies boat to inner bay yesterday. They launched it and it's in the water. They have a slip boat house for the season. Not sure what you are talking about but your are not correct
In Canada, people are allowed to have an opinion and express it without putting their name on the ballot. It's one of those freedoms we get. If you voted, you have a bit more of a right but even those that didn't are still allowed to say their piece. Are you suggesting that this should not be the case?

Are you saying follow the US lead? Their expert's just reported the death toll will double and then some in the next couple week's, King Donny drink Lysol is just fuming, his rating's are going down and he can't take that, you going to follow that shit? That's called a Lemming, we don't have them here in Canada

As you know Pocono, I don't own a boat
still working on changing that some day tho, but I'll tell ya this, the first real nice day after they open the pier in Pt Bruce again, I intend to be on it and I really don't care what I catch that first time out. I never do. More a test of the equipment than it is a targeted trip. If I get skunked I get skunked and I won't complain about it. I'll just be happy to be out of the house and out of my yard. (as I am every year when under "normal circumstances" I've ended my annual self imposed 7 month hibernation in mid to late April.)But if I happen to hook into a walleye or some perch worth bringing home, then I'll have some house guests and I won't complain about that either.

You abide by ALL Canadian laws, whether provincial or federal. We don't get to pick and choose whether we're going to ignore certain of them or not, and for those who do and get caught, there are consequences.
There are provincial laws and there are federal laws and they do sometimes overlap. When you break a provincial law, you are charged with a provincial offense, and if you are found guilty and sentenced to jail, you serve that time in a provincial correctional facility ie the Elgin Middlesex detention center.
IF you break federal law, you're charged according to the criminal code of Canada. If you are convicted and sentenced to jail of 2 years or more, you're not going to a provincial jail, you'll serve your time in a federal prison. But I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and assume that I didn't really have to explain that to you, because you already knew that.
30 miles down the road and the laws change? That doesn't happen ANYWHERE in this country. But I'll give you credit for the attempt.
I have already said in multiple posts that we all know mistakes have been made at all levels of government.
On your last point, normally I would agree with that, and in many other aspects I still do. But when it comes to Covid 19.....sorry, not this time and this is why.
The US has a population that is 8x bigger than we have here in Canada, BUT, they have 20x more cases, and 20x more deaths.
USA # of cases 1,207,552 # of new cases(since yesterday)+19,430 # of total deaths=69,374
Canada # of cases 60,616 # of new cases (since yesterday)+1,142 # of total deaths=3,842
These numbers come from this website which I check every day. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
In order to match the total number of cases the US has, you'd have to take the total number of cases the next 10 countries have combined before you reach that total, and for deaths you'd need to combine the next 3 countries to match the death toll in the US to date. That included countries like Spain, Italy, China, the Uk, France and Russia. (Canada is 11th or 12th on the list.)
Sorry, but on this one, I think I'll listen to our people over the Americans. Our people have made mistakes, but we as a nation have done far better in how we've handled this thing than they have in the US. Slow to respond or not. It could have been a lot worse here if our flawed and F&*^ed up politicians hadn't done what they did.
