    Locks changed, police on scene at Etobicoke BBQ restaurant that defied lockdown orders (msn.com)

    So it's OK for the police to change locks on a legal business...

    Yes, when the business is operating illegally.

    The police were really pretty accommodating with this business that was openly operating against lockdown orders.

    And 200 meters from this business is a Costco whose food court is open to sitting down customers.  As far as I am concerned the only stores open should be one selling food and essential item only.  He could have ordered Wal Mart, Costco and the Superstore closed and allowed grocery only business to stay.

    I support small business and to my knowledge, none of Canada's shitty politicians have any proof that small business is the problem...

    But hey let's cram kids in classrooms, pack people in the big box stores and pack them in on public transit.

    Makes perfect sense...

    You’re entitled to your opinion of what should and should not be allowed to open, but that doesn’t have any bearing on what the law allows and what the police are being asked to enforce. 

    Edit: To add to my point, the guy at this restaurant was being very open that they were deliberately defying the order to not provide sit down service in restaurants. He publicized this on social media, got verbal warnings and cautions from police as to what the process would be, and continued to open, and he supported anti-mask demonstrations. I don't have much sympathy for him.

    I am well aware of what is going on and what is needed. My comment was that I was surprised they think there is a chance to be getting it in New Brunswick in January.

    New lockdown here. Woohoo!

    (I’m sure there’s a perfectly rational explanation excepting religious services and protests.)

    ^ We've been like that for a bit here, too, but no churches and indoor fitness. We're allowed to take walks with one another, so I got 20 minutes in with a sister and the covid puppy, who is almost all grown up now! I'm glad the slopes are open for locals! And Gigaton for company.

    They shut shit down on a Thursday, so my kids' early bday party with 6 classmates only at a private pool with waterslide was nixed with 2 days notice. Goody bags were prepared with nitrile gloves on ahead of time with individually prepackaged snacks.

    Bummer, I was trying to do her party early, ahead of the kids getting out of school and gathering with extended family over Christmas.Tears were involved. But, I'm glad the officials got ahead of it in my district.

    Yeah - why should those be exceptions?
    The state by state and county by county and city by city restrictions stuff is baffling.

    I agree ^, especially as I heard the logic and scientific evidence behind the decision to close Gurdwara's etc...

    Our 2 weeks in Vancouver-Fraser turned into 4 and added the entire province with more threatened.

    It actually doesn’t change anything for us, personally. I sure feel for those it does!

    You enjoy your weekend too. Stay safe :)

    Oh man, yes.   Thankfully, they're moving on it quickly. 
    This is going to be a tough winter.  If everybody did the right thing- social distancing, masks, hand washing, hand away from face, staying home as much as possible- we'll would get through this so much better.  When a read about- and especially when I see- people flagrantly ignoring the precautions, I wonder,  I really, really wonder, WTF?

    You just know the wonderful british public will grab the opportunity with both hands to spread the virus to their loved ones and wonder why a lockdown will come im jan and they will protest. 
    Im so upset with this government.  Hope lost

     Canada news.  And  some insight into flu jabs Canadians have. 45%  efficacy for the  flu jab is normal so any vaccine over 60% is damn good

    I just heard on the news that vaccine distribution begins in 2 weeks.  So your almost there.  Us in Canada on the other hand have no real idea when a vaccine arrives.

    Trudeau seems to think that most people that want the vaccine will be vaccinated in Canada by September.

    Just drove to get x-rays and next to the radiologist is a Covid testing line.  Another one about a mile in the other direction.
    Shit is getting cray.
