Went to this site. It took four hours to get tested. Actual test took a couple of minutes. Wait to register, wait to get temp/bp checked, wait to get test, were what took so long.

We were 2.5 hours in Barrie a few weeks ago. Same deal, registration took one minute, test took two minutes, rest was waiting.
EDIT:
This was a drivethrough. The vast majority didn't need to get out of their car.

Uh oh. Could be good I guess if she wasn't up to the task. (no it's not Tam).
Damn it. You got my Hopes up and then dashed them. Tam is awful.

Her flip flopping at the start of the pandemic pretty much destroyed her credibility.
May as well put this here too:

First pic I've seen of Tam where you can't see her Adam's Apple.

September to date numbers ?
Canada 83 in a population of some ~37411038 people.
USA 14,564 in a population that was ~329064917
for the bean counters 450000 to one odds vs 225000 to one odds ? population taken into account and if my abacus is correct, US citizens are dying roughly 2 times our rate of covid fatalities. Two ways you can read that, one we are doing better at staying alive so far,or two they chose poorly. But in view of school related outbreaks. Now would be a good time to send the kids home from school for 3 weeks with a new word to study, this months word is: Autodidacticism

USA is very close to overtaking the UK in terms of deaths per million citizens. Probably will happen overnight (actually it probably has already happened, but the latest numbers haven't been reported yet)
The USA was catching up to Spain ... until Spain's second wave set in.

New Zealand, due to its enviable island status, has its numbers well down to the point that tracing and tracking is far simpler and more accurate than more infected countries.
There are indications that the lockdowns have reduced deaths from other causes. There has been a reduction in few flu and cold cases. Reduced air pollution has helped people with respiratory conditions.
The downside is unemployment.

Fewer deaths in lockdown than previous year
Health experts have been surprised by a lower number of deaths throughout the country over the lockdown period.

Drat! I just finished building an event and I think we just got shut down,
sounds like Ontario is back to hibernation mode ? very sad. See you on the other side.
... sure hope I'm wrong on this one.
It will be interesting to hear others interpretation of the new rules of engagement as they pertain to organized motorcycle competitions.

If it is a staffed commercial event the rule doesnt apply. I'm not sure if a catered race can get you around the limit or not. Is the land owned by a corporation, that could be another route to investigate.
In Quebec right now. Kids in general aren't wearing masks anywhere. I'm not talking toddlers either. We aren't staying inside anywhere longer than we have to. Eating outside when we can. Not sitting in any bars as its a shitshow. The staff are wearing masks and I feel sorry for them.

Yay 
looks like we are still good to play in the woods with the precautions and restrictions we currently have in place,
unless the rules change again, sanctioned motor events are not being classed as private gatherings, not commercial either because it is a not for profit organization & event, but as Brian said, everyone attending will be registered by the organizers for the purpose of contact tracing and there are currently no restrictions preventing rider participation from the other provinces.

Well looks like personal social gatherings are taking a hit again. Gatherings have been reduced for the entire province now that 400 cases have been reported.

That's the announcement that I thought was going to kill my trial.
