I was hoping they would be closed so I have an excuse for the wife as to why I can't start that bathroom reno. ;)

But I am thinking of a redoing my workbench in the garage. lol

and that's the argument/heated debate hubby and i had tonight...he's a truck driver so i agree that they are essential to get goods back and forth...i said other than pharmacies, healthcare, grocery stores, truck drivers, gas stations, paramedics, police and fire fighters, everything else should be closed...he countered with well what happens if i get a flat, who is going to fix it...or what happens if a nurse's car breaks down, how is she going to get to work...and so on and so on...sometimes i think he and i are on different wave lengths...

This is why the LCBO is still open, required for sanity in constant close quarters. (y)

Two week full shut down. Everything except your list (and truck drivers only servicing your list). If a nurses car breaks down a rental car is dropped off. The rental agency gets called from the gov't to supply cars, not the general public. After the two weeks, if things are appearing to be under control, start adding back less essential services (eg. we have 1000 nurses with broken cars so car repair gets to open first).

EDIT:
I was annoyed last night at doggies stupidity. The list posted above is too simplistic. We also need people on opg and hydro and municipal maintenance (plugged sewers) and I am sure a few more things. What we dont need is business as usual as douggie enacted it.

doesn't matter what Scheer and the Reformers say
170 is the magic number

if that Bill is getting tabled tomorrow
means the Liberals have whipped the vote already
and have enough support from the Bloc and/or NDP to pass

there will be outrage
but tomorrow is a rubber stamp exercise

Incorrect. it matters very much to me what stance others take on issues like this.

Those are called mechanical failures and you deal with those challenges was they arise. People we either respond to this challenge as a civilized country, or you can bet your ass we are going to be putting a lot of good people in the ground. Compassionate leader of this country moves to put a plan in place to fix things :/ you better get behind it fast. You don't like our countries leader! Trip on south below the 49th and see how you like the dude down there.
 
680news poll "are you practicing social distancing" current results
Yes 73%
No 12%
It isnt an option for me 15%

So 27% say they arent doing it and large percentage of the rest are probably doing it poorly. Lock it down.
 
Ontario Hydro is scheduled to make an announcement this afternoon about cutting hydro rates for the next 45 days.

To be fair the isn't an option for me 15% is probably people with essential service jobs like grocery store cashiers, health care workers, etc. that can't maintain the 2m and do their job, so the numbers aren't as bad as you're making them out to be.

That's exactly why the numbers are bad. It's like vaccines. If 15% legitimately cannot help the situation, it becomes even more critical that people that are not part of that 15% do everything they can. I also hazard a guees that at least part of that "inst an option for me" group are because they need money not because they are essential. That could be fixed by politicians as well.
 
100% compliance is a pipe dream. Italy is on lock down. I'd be surprised if their rate is 95%.
 
Lots of things are going to come down in price, lots will go up exponentially too, just like war time and this is war times people, make no mistake about it, only difference this time around, the enemy is not human and so far the bug is winning. This is where the government starts putting up Do your part to support the war effort posters. Next step is a draft :| that is where you don't get to whine and complain over your lost rights and privileges any more, you get told what to do and when. Why does that happen? Because not enough people did the right thing when it was just a personal choice.

And the step after that is draft dodgers.

As stated before, 100% compliance is a pipe dream.

Yep you are right, people chose to either be part of the solution or compound the problem.
Draft dodgers runaway :| where are they going to run to this time?

Your house? Assuming they havent already contracted it, running away to the wilderness is a viable defense strategy.

lol I'm quarantined to ~600 acres :| Dropped a big tree across the ice and snow covered road yesterday and marked it with biohazard tape.
Don't come around here until spring, as far as I am concerned we are all potentially infected ?

"running away to the wilderness is a viable defence strategy" (y) indeed it is! Good thing Canada is a big country.

So, uh...what happens if emergency services needs to access your property, IE you need an ambulance, or your house is on fire?

Anyhow, in unrelated news Trump has all but confirmed that he's going to effectively "give up" on social distancing and closure orders some time inside the next 15 days. If that happens that officially scratches anywhere in the USA off my vacation list this summer.
 
I'd say this is going to mark the end of the Trump presidency but his base will undoubtedly find a way to blame Democrats for the upcoming 6-figure death toll.

Short-sighted, self-interested idiots.
