Time to take advantage of some great deals on energy stocks.

Like all professions there are some that will only do the bare minimum. If the minimum requirement for an elementary school teacher during a pandemic and responsible for all subjects is only required to send a short generic email once a week then one of three things needs to happen. 1. Increase the minimum requirements for teachers to actually teach during a pandemic. 2. Reduce teachers pay by 50% 3. Reduce the workforce by 50% Most teachers I am sure, are doing the best that they can and I know none of these things will happen. Some teachers are really using this as a semi-vacation and ruining the image of the profession. My hope is that it will be safe for the kids to return to school soon.

Just curious, do the the school teachers still get full pay? Please, don't tell me the once a week email my child receives from the teacher for assignments deserves full pay. Better guidelines need to drawn up quickly on what teachers need to be doing because I believe some of the teachers(not all) are using this situation as an excuse to not do their Job. Good on the teachers that are trying their best to educate our kids but there should be minimum standards that include classroom instruction via zoom or skype. Our Kids and the tax payer deserve better.

If that did happen I guess that would mean the cap recapture for Luongo would be less too. Still wouldn't take LE at 3.6M, he should retire or loan him to the Marlies.

Please show me the criticism from MSM on our PM doing practically nothing until it was far to late. This is the one story I could find and I guess you can say he did do something, https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-ottawa-faces-criticism-for-sending-16-tonnes-of-personal-protective/ I really want to be wrong on this.

I agree to a certain extent but wasn't there also supposed to be lessons learned from SARS? I guess that didn't really happen. Maybe next time? It was like within the first two week's of the outbreak here hospitals were already rationing masks. I also feel the need to criticize our government because objective journalism from the main stream media is dead in this country and has been for a while mostly only for certain people or party's. It's almost like the people that own MSM also own our Prime Minister. Stark contrast to what is currently going on in the states.

Some governments were way more prepared than others. Look at Taiwan only 6 deaths and schools and restaurants never closed. Population is over 27 million. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/14/834431383/taiwan-reports-no-new-coronavirus-cases-adding-to-success-in-fighting-pandemic Our response and preparedness was so grossly mismanaged in comparison.

I wonder how long this will last. I am not sure the economy can handle this for even another Month. Every week there are more layoffs as people are not spending the money they have or no longer have which has a cascading effect that we have not fully seen the impact yet. I am sure the authorities are working hard to increase testing and therapies so we can get back to work. But man how unprepared was our government (and most other governments). Do you think our government will learn from all these mistakes? Like telling us masks do not do anything for the general public which was an obvious lie because we did not have enough for everyone. What else does our government lie to us about?
