Ontario and Quebec are finally ready to start moving into phase 2 of reopening their provinces as their infection rates and death rates have gone down.
Though there is a small stumbling block for Ontario. Toronto and larger area around it is still in phase 1. Covid numbers still too high.
BC is good for phase 3 whenever the word comes down from Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix.
Alberta's numbers seem to be on the rise.

Thanks for the update! As a whole, Canada does seem to be doing far better than the US when it comes to getting it under control, and then thoughtfully reopening. I'm not surprised about Alberta, though. My impression (formed during the constitutional convention I listened to many, many years ago) is they're kind of rednecked.
Here in the US, despite that fact that NYS dropped from ~11,000 new cases/ day April 10, 2020 to ~750 per day now (a decrease of 10,250), the country as a whole has only dropped from ~32,000 new cases per day to ~22,500 new cases per day (a decrease of 9,500).
So the rest of the country looks like our efforts at mitigating SARS-CoV-2 are going nowhere, fast.

We're at stage 4 of 5... whatever that means. I wasn't even aware of that until one of my neighbors mentioned it to me the other day while I was mowing the lawn. Outside of wearing a mask at the big-box home improvment store by me, and the month or so where everyone was hoarding stuff I really haven't even noticed much of a change around here so far.
I just looked... Not at 4 just yet... he was wrong. That happens on Friday.
Office workers can go back to work in their offices, retail stores and malls can go back to full capacity, restaurants can go to 75% capacity and everything else is pretty much 50% capacity. Playgrounds will open back up too. The article I read made no mention of churches... I have no idea what they're at now.
My brother was finally able to start going back to church. They only allow 10 people at a time where he lives still, but the church has made efforts to do services and activities every day of the week for now and schedules interested people for the slots until they open back up normally. That's probably the best thing I've heard so far. I'm happy for him.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

I'll start wearing a mask when I join your brain damaged buddies tearing down Thomas Jefferson monuments and throwing molotov cocktails at police cars. But thanks for the advice.
Oh, BTW... Friends of yours, Ted?
They all had good careers. They just wasted their lives. Hope it was worth it.
Future leaders of the world, I'm sure.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Welcome.
We have done but it has been a struggle for Ontario and Quebec to get to this spot. *Fingers crossed* that Toronto and the surrounding areas can get things under control.
Alberta has always been conservative on most things. It could be that maybe some from BC have gone into Alberta in spite of being told to stay in BC. The the other thing is American tourists coming into Alberta saying that they are going to Alaska. Americans can still do that.
Banff has had a number of American tourists coming through and so this could account for the rise in numbers. That was on Sunday's news.
My province might be getting a little twitchy about that because of boat traffic while be starting going up and down the coast.
Yeah, I know it's still not good down there and still lots of hot spots. Washington state is off limits for who knows how long to BC travellers.

I think the reason why Quebec and Ontario are having difficulties is because they have really active international airports, highly urban centers, tight housing, and really good public transportation over a large population area.
I mentioned what I did about Alberta because there seems to be a strain of asocial truculence, that might show up in less than helpful behaviors when it comes to trying to quash a pandemic. I could be wrong, but I think of Alberta as the Texas of Canada.

Your countrymen have just been insulted Brenda. Truculent; eager or quick to argue or fight; aggressively defiant. Asocial; inconsiderate of or hostile to others.
