I don’t understand what business it is of the provincial government’s to hand out money to private businesses. I follow a local MPP and he is constantly posting about the funding his government gives to various companies and municipalities. I understand the funding to municipalities and cities for community centres and what not. But giving money to private businesses to purchase equipment ? Wtf? They can finance their own equipment or fold the business?

I just had to cross the border for essential business, picking up a farm equipment part. I was across for all of 30 minutes. I called the US border agency before going to check if it was okay and they didn’t give two shits. They didn’t ask us a single question other than where we were going. I didn’t think to call CBSA as I understood we don’t have to test or quarantine when going across for essential business??? Is that correct? Me and my husband and our kids came for a ride too. The twat at the Canada border gave us a horrible time. We told her we are getting a baler part and farming is essential. She gave us 21 questions and a real shitty attitude. My toddler was crying that he needed to go pee. She comes out and starts lecturing us about how she did us a favour and exempted us from quarantine and testing and that we didn’t all need to go and she was going ON AND ON so I said “are we free to go or not?” Big mistake…she glared at me speechless looking like she was going to explode and then continued to go on with an even angrier lecture about how she was doing us a favour while I continued to ask if we were free to go or not. I eventually said “my kid is about to piss his pants”….more lecturing. then she said she was “making a note about me” for the future in a threatening way then finally let us go.

Do you think the border will open this summer? This fall?
