GO FUCK YOURSELF IN THE ASS.
Sorry, not sorry, Brenda.
I'm not going to apologize for people who have nothing at all to do with me and who I have no place to apologize for.
I'm not looking to score virtue signalling points with you like somebody else here.

You know more about it than I do.
I wasn't ever going to wear a mask, regardless. Trump could wear one tomorrow and tell everybody else that they should and I still won't wear a mask.

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.

The middle of May brought a long weekend to all of Canada in BC it was the Victoria Day weekend. So, in Toronto there were huge numbers of people gathering in the local parks even with park people being out and trying to insure social distancing.
Toronto is also the largest city in Canada followed by Montreal then Vancouver then Calgary then Edmonton.
Also Kiki, I don't think the problem in Alberta is with Albertans themselves. I did mention that Americans are coming into Alberta saying they are going to Alaska when in fact they are VACATIONING in places like Banff and Jasper which they SHOULD NOT BE DOING.
I should apologize for making Alberta's numbers seem worse than they are. It was 20 new cases in Edmonton. Their numbers are not too much higher than BC's. And they have been there for us. Example when their numbers were lower than ours and they had extra medical supplies they sent the extra to BC. Canadians come together in a crisis.
Yeah, I can see Americans coming to Canada and ignoring your rules, or worse, actively subverting them.
Sigh. I apologize for my fellow countrypeople.
I've been following the numbers of both the total for the US as well as for the various states (plus my home state California and my home county Los Angeles for personal reasons). So I have a fair idea of what's happening when and where.
I don't have any information at all about Canada, except what you bring here. Just to be nosy, did Ontario(Toronto) and Quebec(Montreal) experience a reduction followed by a spike 3 or so weeks after Victoria day? If you could answer that question without too much trouble, I'd appreciate it.
Exactly Kiki. They are subverting the rules put in place by the Canadian and your own American Federal governments.
Alberta is my second home so I have been keeping an eye on things there.
Best numbers I can find for Toronto and area is on May 21st they recorded 413 new cases. 3 weeks was June 11th and they only recorded 184 cases. Better but still too high for phase 2.
Ontario and this number is for the whole province has over 32,000 cases as of June 16th.
These are also best numbers for Montreal as of May 21st, they recorded 324 cases. 3 weeks to June 11th and they recorded 63 new cases.
Total number of cases for all of Quebec is over 54,000 as of June 16th.
Total number of cases for all of BC is over 2,000 as of June 16th.
Total number of cases for all of Alberta is over 7,000 as of June 16th.
Total number of cases for all of Canada is over 99,000.
Total number of deaths for Canada over 8,000.

THANK YOU! for those numbers! I really appreciate it. I now at least have some idea of what's going on up there as opposed to very little idea at all!
I've lived in California for over 3 decades but it doesn't really feel like home. So It's nice that you've lived here and there, and have more than one home to your name.

It's okay. I learned something from the research. I wasn't sure what the total number of cases for all of Canada was. News just usually gives numbers for the province they are talking about.
I was born in BC and lived around the Lower Mainland and out into the Valley growing up. But Alberta holds a special place in my heart. I've been out there a few times. My Blair lived out there and my dad was from Southern Alberta, a little place called Medicine Hat. So, I get you.
