School Bus Drivers
This might throw a wrench into the start of school?

You got to feel for those bus drivers, a lot of them are retirees which makes them top the @ risk covid list....

I know a few folks who loved to drive school buses,all retirees like me. They've decided that the risk to themselves and families is too great to chance it. They won't be returning this time. There'll be a shortage of drivers for sure. I wonder if the government has thought of that eventuality? They won't be able to just pull drivers out of the air. Even volunteers have to be trained and licensed before they go near a bus full of kids.
If a tree falls on your ex in the woods and nobody hears it,you should probably still get rid of your chainsaw. Just sayin'....

My wife and I were discussing this issue a few weeks ago. Seems like the bus problem hasn't been mentioned until now? Given that kids now almost all travel by bus, it's a little late I would say.

Is it the governments fault or should the bus companies (they are private companies) known better and prepared for this earlier....

Both, Buss companies should have known but might have helped if the province had reminded them early on.
