My father is there right now to take a flight home today. He took some pictures which were totally messed. City center just simply abandoned. As for measures here back home, expect more closures. The country will grind to a halt, and I fear it will be a prolonged halt because there really is no endgame in immediate sight.

Canada will declare a state of emergency tomorrow. We all need to batten down the hatches. This will be around for a while. We need to stick together. Rely on one another. Humanity is experiencing something all at once. Remember that. Help those who need it. How can you help someone or stick together if we need to batten down the hatches?

Popular Post -DLC- Posted March 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2020 A fantastic idea! No Frills (and other stores?) are set to open up earlier than usual for seniors only shopping so they can get supplies before the hoarders devour everything. Stores will be sanitized before opening to help protect them. Well done...more of that outside the box thinking to protect the most vulnerable, please.

Even if it’s a PR move....it IS the right thing to do. I know I’ll make a greater effort to take my business there (as little as it is being a really small fry in this world lol) in the future.
