Why is non-essential travel even permitted?
Why are there so many loopholes?
Oh look, another one:
The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

Not to mention there is no paid sick leave either.Yup. Not at all surprised by these numbers. The food processing plants and the logistics warehouses have been unsafe hell holes long before Covid hit. Sadly a lot of these workers are temp workers who are too afraid to call in sick.
A friend of mine works at a warehouse in Brampton. He posted a picture of the break room on FB. What a joke! 30 workers sitting close together with no masks in a small break room. Management, (who are all mostly working from home) won't let workers eat lunch in their vehicles or any other place in the building.

If your friend would be afraid for his job, I understand.........
But perhaps you could raise the suggestion of sending the photo to the media?
If he doesn't know how; I'd be happy to help by supplying contacts.
That's the sort of thing that needs to be flagged at a Ford presser; LIVE.
We already know that happened at the Amazon Brampton distribution centre.

Didn't Doug stand at a podium in the spring, face flushed red with anger, swearing that the unacceptable conditions in LTC homes that enabled the virus to run rampant would never be allowed to occur again? Wasn't his own grandmother sick with covid in one of them?

Alvin I'm not trying to raise your blood pressure! If you look at the history of this thread I've been one of the most vocal critics of Canada's response at all levels of government and society to this pandemic. I would go so far as to say it's shattered my image of Canada and trust in government competency at all levels. There's really not much to be outraged about anymore so I'm more interested in the phenomenon and the system at this point.
