The order from the province did say that police were supposed to focus on education first, before issuing any tickets, so this isn't too surprising (not saying I agree or disagree with that). They'll probably only issue tickets if it starts to become a bigger problem here, like it is in the states.

Chancellor positions are usually always volunteer, not just at Algoma.

I'm finding that if part of the order is missing, it's because the store does not have those items in stock. Going into the store won't solve it (unless you're going to a different store that happens to have stock). You may just need to order them again at a later date.

You only have to self-quarantine if you've been to a highly affected area (like Wuhan, Iran, Italy, etc) or if you've been in contact with someone who has the virus. If you haven't had either of those things happen, then a cough is likely just seasonal cold and flu and you'd have no reason to self-quarantine. People with colds and flus should stay home regardless (especially my coworkers!), but it's not as serious as requiring a 14 day isolation period.

That's not unusual advice. It's understood that if you have a cold or some minor issue that doesn't require medical attention, you don't go visit patients in the hospital whose immune systems are not able to fight off otherwise minor things.

Hahaha ridiculous. The Ruscios should get together with the Averys and build their own community outside of the Sault. Then when it's thriving and beautiful, all the nimby Saultites will be filing legal complaints trying to get into it.

I think "termination" is an extreme take on what geranium said. It's true that people outlive their savings. It's a known problem in the area of retirement finances. You plan your retirement savings assuming you will die at 85, for example, and you have money to last you through to that age. But then you live to be 100, what do you do? Do we expect people to go back to work at 90? No, so then society pays for it. It's nobody's fault, but it's an issue we're currently dealing with as society continues to live longer than we did in the past.

Sort of related: Toronto has a restaurant called O Noir where all of the servers are blind and you eat completely in the dark.

The point of these types of events is to get people to be more considerate of the experiences of people with disabilities. No one thinks that wearing a blindfold for 30 minutes actually gives you a true understanding of what it means to live blind, it just means you might take a second in the future to think about how your actions/policies/decisions affect people with disabilities. I think it's a great thing that the Council of the Blind is doing, and kudos to our city officials for participating.

I agree, I actually think our Sault high schools do a great job of promoting the trades. I don't know how much of that is provincial curriculum, or just the excellent high school teachers we have here. St. Marys has a well known wood shop program and Korah's electrical and auto programs have been running successfully for years. It's been a while since I was in high school, but back then, we were all being told "don't be a lawyer or a teacher, pick a trade" because the "professional" market was oversaturated and there was so much money to be made in the trades.
