Did parliament just suspend for 5 weeks ?
Are they fing serious

They were talking about it yesterday before the school closures. Was thinking to myself this selfish b#^#terds as the schools remained open. Then theylcanceled schools.

The political parties don't want to be in close contact with each other. I have seen nothing but talks of yet but yes they maybe taking some time off and use other things to make decisions lol. Video conferences and phone calls is the new thing. If they would of done this a week ago we would be in a much better position.

They just left the doors wide open from travelers from Italy they didnt check anyone they handed off a pamphlet and said this is what you do ..... then they say they have everything under control lol. How can it be under control when not checks were being done??. It was only a matter of time before community spread it they wanted to play the catch up game. You cant catch up to everyone it was a good way to go if they slowed it within the air travel side of it. Cant just get people to infecte others then try and find out who this person had contacts with. Silly.

I have to scratch my head at those who think this is no big deal. It has already affected global stock markets. Mass closures have very real effects on people who need to work. Something as bizzare as toilet paper hoarding emphasize how this is already affecting the supply chains that keep grocery stores open. We live in a modern and wealthy part of the world but our healthcare infrastructure is borderline already. Yeah sure, the flu is worse. Right.

Hoarding Toilet Paper, big laugh! as one comedian on TV said. " some will starve to death because they have not stocked up on food, but they have lots of toilet paper which they won't need, because they will have nothing in their stomachs to zhit! "

Hoarding ? we do not consider ourselves hoarders, we just stock up on items when the stores offer specials and this goes into one of our freezers meats and such plus the game meats, canned goods and dry packaged go in the cold room in the basement, that is how we live.
Our daughter many times has said when she was in school "that she could come home after school with friends and always find food to eat whereas when she went to some of her friends houses, there was nothing there till the mother came home after work and went out shopping for something to eat that day.
That is something that I/We don't understand as we , my wife and I came from different backgrounds, but there was always food in the house. That is how we still live and our daughter now a grown woman lives that way also.

Line ups were crazy in sutton we thought we would head into town see what's up and check some ice out at the access points. No frills parking lot had cars parked in and around the back. We headed over to sobeys maybe get a scratch tickets and what ever. Parking was like newmarket Costco. We walked around and left to check the ice. The line up was brutal saw a friend when I was leaving and told him if he didmt need anything important to get it at the gas station lol. No way would I stand in those lines.

The good news is I will be fishing tomorrow [emoji1787][emoji1787]. Mostly all the huts have been removed from the lake already. At least it wont be busy out there.

Good thing for the swiss! A new invention has come to light and is available today I wake of the poop paper shortage! You just hook this little puppy up to a cordless drill and away you go!

Squeegee version available for the ladies however since trials have started it seems the ladies are reluctant to leave the bathroom so input on quality is limited.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be the 2nd person who has to use that thing. I'd rather wipe my backside with a cloth and wash it outside.

This actually might be a good group to ask.

I keep the house stocked with items, I do not buy as I need. For example, I have multiple jugs of clothing detergent, dish detergent, canned food, a freezer full of food, etc. Oh yes, and a package of sealed toilet paper haha. Going to school with people who lived in town and seeing how their parents stocked their houses (they didn't) versus looking at the homes of my fellow country bubkins, I concluded this might be a rural living practice. When I use the last of the dish detergent, I'm not dropping everything to go into town to go get another bottle. I go downstairs and grab one of the three that have been downstairs since the last sale. Similarly, when I was dating my high school boyfriend, I was shocked to see there was never food in the house. Zehrs was just a couple blocks away, and they always just went and bought food to eat that day. It was such a shock from the way I was raised. Now I'm still rural and I still keep food and supplies handy so I never find myself in dire straits because I'm out. It's Canada, we get bad winters like January 2019. I like to have food on hand to make my life easier.

So, my question -- is this a country living thing? If you are stocked up and in the country, this is normal, but if you're stocked up and in town, you're a hoarder? Thoughts?

Judging by the absolute insanity at the grocery stores here, I think many are finding themselves unprepared.

I think it's more of an old school upbringing that has the few prepared folks in the position we are in. Only problem is I'm a little shy on beer! Damn.
