Out here in Saskatchewan, you see a few people wearing masks but it’s almost like life is back to normal. The only exception is people stand further apart than normal. It’s hard to tell there were even restrictions in place. Anything stand out in PEI?

Damn man. It didn’t even click. Maybe I shouldn’t help the guy.😂

What’s a tin of skoal worth down there? $30cad here. I stopped chewing years ago and just about shyted a brick when the guy in front of me bought one.

Not really much difference other than the distancing. Most businesses have reopened but I only go to the grocery store, drug store, liquor store and plumbing supply stores which is about 99% of what I did before this crap started. It's rare to see anyone wearing a mask although I do have one but haven't been in anywhere that I had to wear it. I do wear latex gloves on service and installs but I wore them before too. I was working in a long term care facility yesterday and they were setting up a tent so that one resident can have one visitor for 30 minutes starting Friday. I'm not fond of the government allowing seasonal property owners in now. Over 700 applications so far and they will have rules to follow but it only takes one person as we have seen in NB to get it all started again. We took a hit with the first shutdown although we are considered essential and kept working it was quiet for a few weeks. Right now I'd say we are back to normal but another lockdown will be tough.

Sask had around 350 cases. Then two camp workers up north brought it in to a remote community. That doubled the provincial numbers within 2 weeks. All the new cases were up north. All it takes is one is right.

$17/pack here on the normal average. With conversion, about the same as the casino.

For sure! That's what is keeping me on edge plus my wife has a few health issues and both parents are 80+.

I quit smoking about a year before my son was born, so it's been about 28 years. A carton was about $20 back then. My wife used to be on my azz all the time about how expensive and nasty the habit was. Now it seems like the ones that smoke are the ones that can least afford it. I guess in a roundabout way we are probably buying their cigs for them. My son, nephew, and another of my employees dip. That's nasty shyt right there. My son has his spit cup on his desk in plain view. Disgusting.

I was supposed to head out to Caissie Cape NB this summer to visit friends for a week or two. With this Covid crap, I’m not even considering it now. Maybe next year.
