My line of work sells products to schools and we're in the same predicament

I bet, man. That's gotta be tough. My company is a vendor for charities. I expect a pretty bad year when it is all said and done.

Truthfully i think only the strongest will survive. A lot of business are now forced to change the way they operate in terms of remote work and selling services digitally.

My employer put all non essential staff on leave for three weeks.

No work, no play, no gym...

Mans locked in with wives and kids...

How y'all planning on getting through this?

It couldn't have been done unilaterally - Trump woudlve gotten pissed and shut down the border for all trade too then we wouldve truly been screwed. Food shortages in a week if there was a total border closure.

The same people complaining about the Government wouldve talked about Trudeau being naive about Trump. He handled this well.

only 4 poeple have died in canada from it and they were old geezers in a nursing home

being black and under 50 you're more likely to get killed by a gun or a knife in toronto than dying of corona virus
