I work for Grand River Transit. A quick trip to their Facebook and Twitter (along with the Region Of Waterloo) will illustrate their approach to this. There are people complaining about the poor mask adherence on the buses and LRT and the response is that some people cannot wear a mask. That...

I could post the protocols. We are not allowed to deny service for this. We are technically allowed to "educate" to olease wear a mask. However, several drivers have been disciplined after "customers" complained about being asked to wear a mask. Union is spending their energies encouraging us...

The slower the better. Keep the hospitals and ICUs from getting overwhelmed. We can't stop this but if we throttle it then we can hopefully not overwhelm the health care system and have a better chance of protecting the most vulnerable. Also, we are continually learning about this virus and the...

Thx for the kind words. However, this is a preventable illness. If everyone on my bus wore a mask then the likelihood of me getting sick from Covid would be greatly diminished. Instead O contend with 50% to 80% mask compliance depending on the time of day. At the end of the shift it can be as...

Zero energy. Pounding headache. Nausea. Stabbing toe pain if all things. I have already posted about this here. The weird symptoms led me to get a test or more accurately my concerned wife booked me a test. I had a bout of no taste or smell in late January plus a few other weird things. I...

Please be a good citizen and wear a mask to not make othera sick. I am recovering from Covid and believe me this virus is no joke and I do not wish this on anyone. Wearing a mask and social distancing is pretty much all we have in our arsenal to keep this damn virus in check until we have a...

I don't understand the hate and criticism of Tam or Fauci. They made recommendations based on the science at the time. In time the science showed that using cloth masks helped slow transmission. With that data and the fact that these masks were not going to inhibit the PPE that the medical...

Okay... I made absolutely no progress yesterday. I had very little energy. This Covid thing is weird that way. I go back and forth with energy levels and headaches although the overall trend is going in a positive direction. I justified by "lazy" Friday by saying that if I laid 6 pavers...

As someone who grew up on Moore's portrayal of Bond and who had not read the books; I was initially taken aback by the coldness and athleticism of Craig's portrayal. Then I watched Lazenby's movie and all of the Connery vehicles. I have all the Blurays except for the latest installment. Need to...

Agreed about avoiding Florida and crusing right now. I would love to hit an all inclusive this February and go back to St. Lucia or Cabo again. As much fun as it would be it is not worth jeopardizing my health, my wife's health or the well being of others. Thankfully I got to use the RV trailer...

I have no idea how many dangerous exposures I get in a day. I am back at some point next week. Most days I see upwards of 1000 people and literally dozens in a day pay with coins and this can take up to a minute. The "new" farebox is not used by any other transit company in Ontario. It...

Ah... The Scrambler... Was always one of my favs at a country fair or one of the Ex (SuperEx in Ottawa or the C.N.E.). I also used to get a kick out of the Gravitron and also the Snowbobs or one of the knockoffs. Tons of great memories. I spent a lot of paper route money at a stand called...

Oh man... R.I.P. What a legend, so many great roles. 2020 is indeed a dumpster fire. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

We are starting to get to that level. I am back to work next week. At this point I suspect I am exposed to a Covid carrier at least a couple of times a week. I put my hat in the ring to participate in a Covid antibody study at McMaster. From the limited research I have done I may have some...

Not sure if I totally agree with you. Trudeau is certainly further left than the Chretien regime. However, I will totally agree with you with respect to the Wynne regime. That was a very, very left winged agenda. They did a lot of good things but wowsa what a lot of waste and boondoggles. I...

Could Ontario Place somehow become a really nice green space where they could host ribfests, music festivals, art shows, outdoor theatre etc? I keep thinking casino but nit exactly family friendly and not something that would seem to foster other businesses etc. Many of your comments has...

Okay.... Yesterday was my first day out of the house (cleared by public health). Snagged the pavers finally. Just getting them moved onto the truck, off the truck and to their staging location on a skid in my backyard did me in. I am still a work in progress. Today I laid the first row...

Some good news. Since I have been cleared by public health I went and got my pavers yesterday for the still in development hot tub pad. Called the Softub dealer/tech. Good news is that the GFCI cord is all sorted now. Also, the hydromate works and is heating and working on his test bench. Bad...

I'm one of the weirdos that go pretty much annually. I grew up in Ottawa and the "SuperEx" is still riveted into my memories. It was a big deal in the 1970s and early 1980s. At that time you could eat things there that you would not find anywhere else. Also, Ottawa did not typically draw big...

Could they park a cool ship there ala Ozark? Marine museum plus restaurants? I thought the Haida (spelling?) was a cool draw there until it was towed to Hamilton. It is a neat spot and has so much potential plus Exhibition Place is so close by. If there was not already a brewery district I...
