Nope. I think the government mishandled it. They didn't close the borders, and as per a NP article I posted the other day, we still have massive numbers of international travellers landing here in Canada. They haven't handled it well at all. By any metric. Look at the nursing homes that have been wiped out.

They didn't protect the vulnerable. They didn't protect the economy. They have made a nation of deadbeats out of the able bodied while racking up debt that won't get repaid for generations, if ever. They absolutely **** the bed on this.
