Moe has got balls and guts. Good for him. Someone has to be first and we all know it sure as hell won't be sock boy! Moe has laid out a plan and said it is flexible and we will see what needs to be changed along the way. I like the way he thinks.

Sock boy could take some lessons from a couple of western Premiers!!

I'm still working everyday, about 50 houses left to do for Mattamy, and then they are going to build 4/month, just to keep the wheels turning.
By May 31st I was told today that my 74 suite apartment will be mine to start, insul, drywall etc... Just doing fire rating now.
By May 31st'ish, my other apartment should be ready for fire rating.

I'm happy to be working everyday, just wish my pay deduction would be reinstated. Sucks to be 40% busier and take a healthy pay cut.

As far as I can tell, only about 10% of BC businesses ever closed.
For most of us it was just business as usual, and there were not many changes, unless you went down to the Vancouver area.
I haven't seen a single gas station, car dealer, grocery store, even restaurant close...sure the restaurants may have gone to take out, but they were open, and several put seating outside. Sat in a pub 3 weeks ago having a burger and a beer. Walked into my insurance office and renewed my policies, bought building supplies at the hardware, so what was closed. I saw a womans clothing store, and a hair dresser closed...that was about it.
Good for you Saskatchewan, glad to hear that you are opening back up soon, you never should have closed anything to begin with.

Is it too early? Is it a risky move? I guess time will tell, I don't anticipate Alberta doing anything until AFTER May Long Weekend, but that's just my 2 cents.

Too early more like to late... look at all the people that have lost their business or jobs. All this money the gov is handing out you think that is free we are all going to have to pay that back including those of us that never took a dime.. This whole thing could have been handled so much better and cheaper right from the beginning... Not to mention we are not seeing the whole truth interesting how deaths from the common flue and other things have drastically dropped and its all being blamed on this. we dont shut the world down during flue season do we? The next round is going to be even worse as we have not been allowed to create a natural immunity to this once again we are going to rely on yet another drug..

I agree time to get **** moving. This whole thing has been one big knee jerk reaction. It's simple, people that are high risk need to take extra precautions. We dont need or want canada shut down because this is killing a few high risk people that are probably only alive because of our medical system to begin with. We've realized the downfall of globalism, and need to start working together as a country. First things first we need this spoiled rich kid out of office. I dont know who in there right mind would let this useless tit run any sort of business, let alone our country. We can only hope he'll happen to get hit by a bus or some crazy feeds him a bullet. Time to come together as a country and put canada first!

Personally ive lost 10000$ in income so far. I have also lost all respect for people. Every time I see someone with a mask on I think of a brainwashed moron. If you haven’t by now figured out that this is an overhyped load of bs then you are a moron. Open everything back up and hang the people that pushed this on us.

All because of a few gullible people really who fell for the lies.
I have taken no precautions nor has the people around me and none of us can even catch this covid 19, forget die from it.
And the regular flu is annually killing more people than covid.
So are heart attacks, cancer, smoking, and a lot more. But nobody locks themselves up for the really dangerous things.
And if someone is 92 and in and old age home, they are probably hoping to die...I know that I sure would be!
