I think we should learn the lesson that covid taught us is possible. Shut everything down, shelter in place, guarantee food and housing (as you say), medical care, and education, but everything that is not absolutely essential can go to hell.

WTF are you talking about? Lockdown worked for 10 days before everyone declared themselves essential. Tim hortons never locked down -shitty coffee is essential?

Then we had an attempt at insurrection in Ottawa.
