Just looking at the entire landscape. Working from home is making me stir crazy.

Go to eatons centre I went after work it’s dead

feels like when you see those photos online of dead malls

Yeah man shyt is starting to remind me of some of those urban exploring channels where they visit abandoned shyt



Even the courtyard of my building yesterday, barely a soul. Always busy otherwise.

Just got kicked out of eatons centre nothing but bums in there and almost every store is shut down

expect them to close up shop soon

 

[Guess Who]

Closed to tourists and shoppers today:

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.

Trudeau really bossed up the last couple days. Def got my respect back.

what about people who have rent and not a mortgage

Property owners should discontinue rent if they don’t have a mortgage to pay...I think that’s the hope. That messaging should have been clearer.

It ain’t easy. I co-manage a nationally funded mental health program, focused on the mental health connection to violence in low income communities so...im looking after a lot of vulnerable ppl who may not have the money to get through this crisis. So at work we are trying hard to figure out how to help keep ppl afloat and to give them accurate info that they may not have access to because let’s face it, ppl in the hood probably don’t have the social networks to feed them the most accurate info (Well that’s actually true for everyone but my concern here is vulnerable pops), leading to the of spread all kinds of misinformation and rumours leading to panic. That’s why I’m all over the COVID-19 info...gotta keep the ppl from panicking.
