I have family in Ontario who need my help to get them back to their phase 3 reopenings, both are essential workers. My daughter has been working clinics thruout and papa has been working from home partitme. Child-center closed in March. Schools are on the verge of resopening with very specific options for limited cohort size, more outside learning, use of masks in certain settings, and no parents allowed in the buildings. And they will shut down as needed it outbreaks occur.
Once the government decided to let me in, and that was an incredibly serious process that kept me near the border for 24 hours, i was sworn to strict quarantine and self-isolation. I am on day 5 now. I have received clear and serious instructions from the ministry of health at the border and by email. My phone is tracked to this location, I was called Saturday to see how it was going and did if I have questions. In other words, there is a clear and cohesive policy here.
It makes such a difference to take this seriously and offer one set of guidance for everyone. Such a missed opportunity saying to each other that we are all in this together and have each other’s backs. The first 2 months in my state of NC went this way with our Dem Gov Cooper. It wasn’t until the REopen NC protests began that incivil disobedience became popular and the anti-maxxers began deliberate gatherings. In NC it was like watching Trmp rallies. Then the churches sued for exemptions. We went from successfully flattening the curve to watching numbers rise again. And the young and frustrated seem to turn to each other for guidance as they ignore the mask-mandates and turn restaurants into saloons.
Up here looking in, our “independent” streak looks like fatal folly. Our government looks like self-serving crazy-making. My car is in the garage so I won’t make the neighbors nervous with my American tag. Some Americans who have gotten in to reunite with family are getting huge fines for treating the rules cavalierly before their isolation is up. They don’t want us spreading it, or causing a burden on their health system. But if I do get sick, they will care for me.
Just an illustration of how this looks elsewhere. These are our worst instincts, and I think the Fake-POTUS has debased us all by insisting on primal fear as the state of the union.

Makes me proud to be Canadian. And the control is not about imposing strict obedience, it's about caring for people.
