YESSS! Perfectly coincides with my last day of work at this place and it means my full month off in between jobs is in Stage 3! Have to make up for lost time!

We need them to keep our economy afloat!
International students are coming back in September. Officially they are only allowed into Canada two week before the start of in-person classes. Anecdotal report says that's not strictly enforced at border, but most students will likely follow this rule, as no one likes to be sent packing after landing in Canada.

As for tourists and other non-essential travelers -- not for a long time. International students should provide significant support for condo rentals though.

Pretty sure at this point after 1.5 years and everyone being vaccinated if they tried to lock down again people would literally riot

I wish the media rhetoric was a bit more measured. I think exuberant optimism would actually deter people from getting their shot.

They probably should...but honestly with just enough fear I highly doubt they would.

I don't know, people were okay waiting until now because they saw vaccines were developed and we had a reasonable timeline to administer them which we have actually beaten considerably. I really don't think people would have patience for this again. I know I wouldn't and I feel I have been extremely patient, mostly because I benefited from lockdown/ratecuts/wfh etc. But at some point enough is enough and we just have to cope.

It is not the original form of the virus we need to worry, it is the variant that have become a concern. I think we need to see how much spike we are going to get from the variant before we can say we beat covid 100%.

Food service workers also wear mask even before Covid.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, i'll be wearing my face diaper going forward for flu season. That an proper hand washing have left me with no colds, flu, or ear infections for the first flu season in my adult life.

This is Canada. We won’t do anything but fall in line and beg for more taxes.

Haven’t had a cold in 2 years. I think these offices are not well ventilated. One person gets sick and it goes around the office getting everyone sick.
