Who needs a security system, when there is someone awake at all times?

So . . . useful for support. The parents must be really comforted to consider the future when they actually need help. Are they under quarantine or house arrest? I don't remember my 20-year-old brain but I doubt the urge to socialize overpowered the urge to self-preserve. It's one thing to get together with a group of close friends, but a 200+ party, jammed at a bar/park/beach?

Brampton has broken window syndrome.
People think it's a bad place...
People who live there think the place is a lost cause.
As a result people think they can do things there and get away with it.
Like in brampton my friends start drinking a beer in the car as passengers...(cross into york region..) "you put that shit away"
Oof sigh

Are ice cream trucks still illegal on the streets of Brampton? Maybe those parties had an ice cream truck on the premises, hence the reason they got out of hand.

I get the impression it's had a crap reputation for decades, particularly among certain white people who live outside of it. It also doesn't help that the built form is an ugly suburban blob and the city hasn't made any serious efforts to address that, among other disastrous city council decisions like voting against a rapid transit line that would have been paid for entirely by the province...

Yeah brampton is sky high property taxes and sky high auto insurance.
I would want to leave but housing is to expensive to move

Cross-post from the Covid thread, for obvious reasons.

School reopening plan is out, TVO has the details here:
Key items, masks are mandatory for all students from Grade 4 up with reasonable exceptions.
Masks are recommended but not required for students JK - Grade 3.
School 5-days per week for Elementary/Middle students but with some attempt to keep one continuous class group together (this is mostly the way it is now, but sometimes classes are split for gym/French etc.)
High School students in designated boards, including Toronto will have school every other day.
Cohorting where possible (mainly grade 9/10 I'd suspect as I don't see how you can cohort electives).
New investments noted below:

I did have low expectations of Ford going into the pandemic I'll admit, but I guess he did well handling the pandemic. Or at least up until schools start opening.

Say farewell, for now, to the overconfident, hyper-partisan version of Ontario's premier. Here's how the pandemic changed Doug Ford.

He (in fairness, his government, including public health officials) blew it on LTC, and on migrant workers, the ramp up of testing was also slower than it could have been.
Outside of that he did 'fair'.
But those are not small screw-ups.
If we had adopted the same measures on LTC as British Columbia did, we would, without doubt, have saved several hundred lives; and cut the case total substantially.

I really hated Doug pre-pandemic, but he ditched some of the right wing populism and that was good. Now, that doesn't mean I would vote PC or that I love the guy now, but I don't dislike him as much.

Doug Ford became one of the more rational right-wing major politicians in North America, which is quite rare these days (especially when compared with Republican Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida who doesn't even know how to handle a crisis).
He is now one of the better right-wingers, but I'm still not voting for him or his party in the next provincial election.

In his case, it's because he listened to the adults in the room, knowing that he was (as a result of his narrow leadership victory et al) on a kind of enduring "double secret probation".
