And I thought JT was spendy. NDP has gone completely nuts. They want to remove all criteria for CERB. If you feel you are in financial distress you qualify. Moron.
Singh calls for universal access to CERB
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he wants the government to lift all criteria for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit to allow any Canadian who is in financial distress due to COVID-19 to qualify for benefits.

And the answer is? Congrats amd good luck.
so far so good, since we aren't cancelling and just changing the date it seems everyone is on board.
Our neighour across the street passed away a couple weeks ago from cancer. No funeral except for immediate family. We would have liked to go but understand why they decided against it.
Invited to a 2day wedding on Victoria Day weekend - now cancelled.
Liquor is another good way to express feelings.
I doubt it was live, I would hope even Florida gets it by now. I got excited this morning when I turned on the tv and F1 was on, then realized it was last year's qualifying
Same here. A good family friend passed away yesterday morning. No funeral as it’s limited to 10 people max. So just a short mass.
Maybe we will have a funeral for the ashes when things return to ‘normal’ but who knows when that’ll be.

Haha. Liquor can also give you no feelings if you drink enough of it. Lol. And yes it is very sad when you can't pay your respects because there is no funeral. What is even more sad is that people are dying in the hospital and they are not even allowing in some cases spouses or immediate family to be with them at their last moments in this world. And it is not just in covid cases. I find that completely wrong.

"That is a surprise": Doctors still waiting for feared surge of COVID-19 patients in Canadian ICUs
Doctors, nurses and other staff who run the nation’s intensive-care units have feared for their own safety, too, amid shortages of protective equipment

Some are lucky, some are not with venue's with getting their deposits back or rescheduling, which is very frustrating, and shameful for those business's. Also a lot of clients planned well in advance for this year, it's a numbers thing (2-0 2-0, beginning of the centry etc) and don't want to see it slip away. Many clients/couples are trying to reschedule for after the summer to hang on or salvage what they can. But as a vendor I am taking the wait and see response, as there is no indication of when this might be over, but happy enough try and reschedule if possible, and return deposits if needed. The rest of 2020 might be a complete right off, and 2021 might get back to normal events etc. Just the sense I am getting.
Having a S-I-L in Panama I've been watching their situation. One American stuck there on a sailboat commented Panama is really shutting down hard because Panama doesn't have a good health care network like they have in the states. Facepalm
Some interesting regs. Men and women go to town on alternate days. Some services are regulated by the last number of your s/s number or passport.
No liquor sales.

That's awesome. Shows we all performed our social duty better than other countries/states:
“I’m cautiously optimistic that we are going to see a sort of slow trickle with this concept of flattening the curve,” said Dr. Michael Detsky of Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital. “We’ll still see patients getting admitted to our ICU, but not that surge like we saw first in Wuhan, then in Italy, Iran, Spain, New York City – and now some other U.S. cities.”
Doctors say they’re unsure exactly why they have not seen more cases, but point to both the mass, at-home social-distancing measures still in place,
The seemingly never ending boom lulled people into thinking it would never end, business owners and clients alike. They bought maxed out houses and leased top line cars.
In the early 1990's I was picking up some parts at a wholesaler and the owner excused himself to answer the phone. It was obviously a collection call. After putting the caller off he came back to me and explained he that when he bought the business he didn't count on this. His comment "If someone's going to lose their house it won't be me." pretty much sums up the attitude of most people.
If you were doing the eat, drink and be merry thing last December and you saw this coming, other than the stock market what could you have done? Sold the house? Dump the BMW? Would it have made a difference?
Ok bought toilet paper and sanitizers. What else?
What would i have done different ?? not much really. Sell the house ? why I own it. The BMW? nope its only a 2018 and my wife loves that car. Juggle some stocks? I was pretty much out of energy sector last yr anyway.
I might have bought in some piles of rough lumber for some furniture projects, helps pass the time. I'm getting use to not working on the boats, or the motorcycle really and I wouldnt have done much different.
Wife works in a hospital, her job is beyond solid, my business is just fine so far, and will boom when the 'crisis' is over.
