This sounds like a.......conspiracy. Gasp. What, do you believe in the Bermuda Triangle too?
She was arrested gestapo style, you can't take anything seriously out of Florida. Its not controversial.
Clearly all governments did not know what they were dealing with here. In fact they still probably don't. I know I don't really get it yet. But your point is valid there MUST have been a way to complete lockdown all nursing and LTC homes in province. Just take every one of them over (then give them back once pandemic is over), pay da owners whatever they made last year in interim and completely ISOLATE each building with testing, entry/exit controls at every location using military resources and temp checks for all. Even for last minute people dying be diligent. This method would have been way less $$$ for our province and fed govt too. Yes there would still be a few deaths with pre existing condition people but much more limited. Yes maybe way more cases too and more sick people who recover. But always remember this is a HINDSIGHT analysis. I find in life, and we all do it, it is much easier to be right after da fact. The brilliant people are da ones who figured it out ahead of time which is why we have so few billionaires in da world who created on their own. It is bloody difficult to do it.
What if all of the money spent on stimulus packages and such (due to shutting down so many parts of the economy) was instead spent on isolating/protecting the elderly and vulnerable? Canada has spent eighty four billion dollars on covid so far. That would go a pretty long way to keeping the elderly/vulnerable isolated and safe.
Is this a copy and paste or did you come up with that? That's brilliant.
-- I don't get too many compliments - mostly insults thrown my way. The list of things open and all the data/numbers are from news sources -- other than that it's my own opinion. Just trying to point out the hypocrisy because if the government gave a shit about the average Canadian - steps would have been made long ago.
This is a joke. Literally the only thing I enjoy about the winter (other than hockey and basketball) and it gets shut down for NO reason. You telling me I’m gonna catch COVID skiing down a f***ing hill? It’s not like you can use the facilities to eat or even to use the bathrooms, and you have to wear a mask which many do already when they go skiing, so where is the danger exactly?
Yeah I know I have a couple neighbours who have done exactly what you said. They left last summer and are not back yet. But they still have their homes here. They just don't want to catch COVID and decided they could work and live in their cottage this winter. And a lot of Torontonians in core bought places up there too which is why your real estate has doubled in past 9 months. Toronto's condos are depleted down 20%+ in value/rent easy. And can you really blame these people. To me it is a smart move if you already had a cottage up there. You have BY FAR less odds of catching in Muskoka then in Peel. It is da law of supply and demand. Da real $$$ will be made in 2022 when immigration is back to normal and all those cottagers move back to city. Smart move today is buy a couple large well placed condos downtown for cheap and wait and hold for a year. Big $$$ landlords/banks can't renovate those office buildings to condos so lets get real folks all you office workers are going back to your buildings. I know you don't like it but it will happen. Guaranteed 30% return on your $$$. I am waiting for bottom of market but will buy 3/4 condos in late winter. I don't see a better return right now then that one.
