    Come Ottawa it will be almost four years to the day since I last saw my favorite band onstage. Getting more excited all the time.

    Decent side ribs and rotisserie chicken. Nothing crazy though. Fries are good too.

    same....we passed so may of them on our way from Detroit to London, ON a few years back I just had to stop at one.

    The poutine gravy was too generic in my opinion. Good chicken though.

    In Quebec, instead of Swiss Chalet, there’s St Hubert.  I like that one more, though both are good.

    I think most of us who share a sense of common sense are fine with a little more we than me, especially these days. I just want it to make sense, and it is unclear if those regulations really do.

    Bingo.  Even public health experts in Canada question the purpose of the random testing.  It’s bureaucracy at this point.  And I bubbled and masked and vaxxed as much as anyone.

    Yah I don't get it either.  Covid is everywhere, most people don't seem to have too many problems when the contract it.   It's rampant on both sides of the border.  Random testing doesn't do anything.

    I feel like they should scrap it and the arrivecan app.

    I'm not so Naive that I don't reserve the right to change my mind of we get some super horrible strain of Covid, but if it keeps on being the same thing I don't see the need for all the hoops.
