Yep been saying it for years, we always half ass things. Like there's no actual plan. No balls, to pick a decision and stick with it.
Half ass decisions on road work, half ass decisions on city shit, basically wasting a lot of our tax budget on useless things.

The Canada 3 day quarantine in hotel is a joke too, like wtf does 3 days do exactly? All other countries do 14 days. If you don't like it, don't travel? If you can't afford it, don't travel. If there was a full lock down, you will just accept that and not travel. But since it's half assed, you cry.

Also someone spent 1.5k in Toronto hotel following the half ass gov rules, he ended up positive anyway and infected his entire family.

could have been a false negative
and doest it take a week or two to get symptoms?his family was in full blown covid 5 days later?im wondering if he family was already infected the timeline seems kinda borderline for him getting it at the hotel
they also mention that he has a bad immune system so if his family had it for like a week leading up to him coming back and then going home he would likely get symptoms quicker then the rest if he did get it from them

i thought it was supposed to be a 1 week hotel quarantine did they recently change it? i feel like 1 week in the hotel coulda prevented this unless another family member of his is the one that infected everybody
but this is why there should be no travel if he doesnt travel this isnt an issue problem solved

If it was 14 days, he would've tested positive eventually and he wouldnt have fucked his entire family but yeah get rekt for 3 day bs and still do nothing but spread to his fam

the whole government response federally and provincially is a joke

the middle of the road approach doesn't work, either you say fuck it, isolate all the high risk group (seniors, people with heart problems) and let everyone develop herd immunity (with the masses willing to accept the consequences of roughly 2-3% deaths)

or you actually lock down

people bitch about lock downs, but if they had actually shut everything down, shut all of the border down (no banning china and then letting all the sick people from europe and us in), actually test people coming back on flights internationally right from the get go, then we wouldn't be in the mess

even now in bc, i see tons of people walking around with no masks on, or talking on their phone with the mask pulled down so their mouths are exposed

most minorities and younger folks are complying so they mainly all wear masks, but i see a lot of older white people not giving a fuck and just going about not wearing a mask or socially distancing, then complain about all the inconvenience with regards to restaurant restrictions etc

yeah, if we'd just suck it up and did an actual legit 2 or even 3 week lockdown, things would be great, but i recognize that we aren't a totalitarian government and police really won't enforce this, nor is the government willing to plan for it

The cerb rollout was a joke, my brother was like what if people on ei apply for cerb and double dip? I was like that's such an easy fix, just put a filter on to see if person x is already on ei, if yes then reject cerb application. what the did the government do? literally just let everyone who apply get the money then say "hey sorry, if you weren't supposed to get it, can we have it back?" ya good luck with that. There was a CBC article where these retired folks with 3 stay at home bum kids all applied for CERB and was getting 10k a month because of it, the unnamed CRA person said they called to see if they qualify and when they were told no, they asked, "well is there anything that will stop us from getting the money?", no, just ur moral conscience which a a big enough group of people i guess don't have. Good luck getting that money back because it's all gone now, probably another writeoff for the books and taxpayers pay for it

just look at the return to canada hotel rule, its a 15+ hours phone booking wait time, the hotels are garbage and overpriced, and a considerable amount of people just say fuck it and pay the fine because it's cheaper to do so, and right now the positve rates of those people coming back internationally is around 1%

Furthermore you were allowed to have supplemented earnings up to $1000 a month while on Cerb. So you had people quit there full time jobs and get part time jobs. If you were a lower wage earner you got more money with CERB + part time work then you did with a full time job.

It is not something you were supposed to do, but like you said they just let everyone apply without questioning anything so that is what happened in a lot of cases too. Down the road a lot of the abusers will be caught. The thing is a lot of them are lazy deadbeats. They won't have the teams to pay the money back anyways.

The people who have their shit together will have to pay for the cheating deadbeats in the end due to government incompetence. Such a joke.

Technically no you shouldn’t.

And your wife should only go to work and stay at home.
