Good article and a good politician. Choosing his words carefully, stepping on eggshells. I was surprised to read his one “misstep”. Stop being selfish. He called a spade a spade but shouldn’t have said it.

I suspect this argument isn’t going to end, until restrictions are behind us.

What I now find dismaying, is that it’s still being debated. No matter where anyone falls on the topic, L side, R side, somewhere in the middle or too each their own.

The logic, the reasons not to are sound. Arguing against them is really just “justifying” it to “yourself”. Even the land tax or “patronage” arguments. Which are very debatable, though unanswerable.

“Here’s a fiddle”. Millions of people who pay land taxes, and payrolls taxes, and fees, are being told not open. A lot of them, be they mom/pop diners, in rural Ontario or small businesses in the GTA are going to go under......

“Welcome to the club”

Too each their own.
I will say, if, if JT pulls the trigger on the EMA. It might be, because too many, aren’t following. As the mayor said, he doesn’t want it to come to that.

JBen what's the EMA?

You know what he meant !!!!

[JBen]

Yep Rick. Just looking for a wee bone to pick. Make some kind of stupid point.

Some refer to it, as I do, as the EMA because it’s an extreme Measure, that gives them the power to use extreme Measures.

One step closer today.
RCMP now have the extreme power to use an extreme measure and enter people’s homes.

Assuming you mean that if the RCMP are enforcing The Quarantine Act against returned travelers who are failing to stay at home for the mandatory 14 days,you can bet your bottom dollar they'll know who's licensed and assume firearms will be present before they attend the residence and govern themselves accordingly.

We have two people here that have been issued warnings. Next visit won’t be so cordial !!

Hmmm, not willing to stop thousands of illegals crossing at Roxham Road, tolerate illegal rail blockades, vandalism of the entire rail system but we have the time to go door to door and make sure too explain compliance and the consequences of non compliance ! Don't get me wrong I'm not down playing the deadly impact of Covid 19 but some things just make you go wow.

I'm continually amazed at the mass hysteria.
