“Who do I call about a mom outside blowing bubbles for her kids? The soap bubbles could carry the virus particles far if she has it! Do I call the local health unit or the nonemergency RCMP number or the local bylaw number?” Damn, Tammy. The Stasi would have LOVED you.

“Just so everyone knows, buying soil at Canadian Tire is not considered shopping for essentials!“. Ok Karen well it is if you have a garden and grow your food. Also, what were you doing there?

“ Everyone should be ordering their groceries online for delivery!” and a comment literally 10 minutes later, “Delivery should be reserved for people who are disabled, elderly, or immunosuppressed!“ Steve and Amanda, fight it out one the pit.
