Ya, I agree, I'm just venting and am frustrated with the rules that are crushing small business.
It's frustrating to see a small business not be allowed to sell something while a company like amazon, wal mart, or PC Superstore can.
I fully believe that the government is not doing this because they want to and are looking after the publics best interest. It just really sucks for small business.
That's devastating to a lot of businesses. Shipping rates and speeds in Canada are awful for small businesses compared to Amazon.They can still sell stuff. They just can't have people in their stores. They can do online orders and/or have a pickup window.
The civil unrest is going to become unreal with tens of thousands of small business crushed right before Christmas
It's asinine to punish businesses who comply by the guidelines because another business in the same field couldn't.Well, some of the Small Business Owner's frustration should be directed at his colleagues who didn't follow the rules. After all, the lockdowns and shutdowns only occur because people don't follow the rules. It's not like the government (provincial or federal or municipal; doesn't matter) are doing this out of masochistic enjoyment.
Didn't the government recently rolled out some new rent relief support?

The thing that irks me is that is there really a mountain of evidence that transmission within small businesses is the issue?
It's Monday. I had a busy weekend with errands and getting stuff done. My perhaps overly simplistic take was transmission of the virus would be more possible in the Metro, Canadian Tire and Lowe's that i went to as opposed to the two stops i made at small businesses where i was in and out at both in three minutes and I was the only customer
It's the anti-CERB, rather than make sure everyone has access to help it's making sure everyone gets punished. Wish there was an easy way to properly identify the irresponsible minority, feeling for those who's livelihoods are at risk.
And wow, the guy taking CERB who doesn't need it makes my blood boil. Particularly knowing people who have been able to get it but have not bothered because they don't need it and it isn't the right thing to do. Hopefully the gov. will be recouping money from the majority of those cases. That type of selfishness in what's hopefully just a minority of people is why cases are back on the rise.
I reported all the income I made to the government during EI/CERB... even when my company paid me out my vacation pay
Government was more than happy to cut me a cheque
my boss/owner gets triggered from time to time cause me and another employee are cashing in while he’s getting f***ed by the government

For sure but rent is probably the biggest deciding factor in which businesses are able to cope or not during a lockdownmore bills than just rent brother

all too lateQuebec is doing a good job of helping business owners too
I wouldn’t say useless. It has been reported that it does not prevent transmission. Only kills symptoms. Which in itself is valuable. That can save a lot of lives.

The government obviously knows all of this and right now and it isn't a priority because of the current health crisis, but hopefully they have a plan on how to help small businesses and tax large corporations who have benefited from the pandemic when we Build Back Better.
How is a vaccine supposed to stop infection, it’s not logical. A vaccine isn’t a force field.Useless was a strong word. If a vaccine stops infection, then it should be stopping transmission. If it doesn't, it's not an ideal vaccine.
My understanding is that we don't know if it prevents transmission or not, because that is a not primary endpoint to the current studies. So we will get the first 3 vaccines rolled out, but we may need better, or modified vaccines to truly end this.
