"All travellers arriving in Canada from international points are being asked to self-isolate for 14 days as a precaution. People arriving from Hubei, China, Iran and Italy already have been asked to self-isolate. "
No more Canada-US Commerce? Trucks need to stop crossing the border?
Is the United States an International point?
It would appear, at this point, that the border closure would only apply to inbound airline traffic and cruise ships. It perhaps may expand to include overland visitors travelling back and forth across the US/Canadian border however, closing the border to commercial traffic would certainly have to be regarded as an action of "last resort". The resulting economic devastation would have to be carefully weighed against the potential number of lives saved. If and when such a drastic action is required, we can only hope it would be temporary.
TP is becoming the new currency of choice.. "I'll give you 30 rolls of 2 ply for that chair"..Want to impress a date? Tell her how many rolls of TP you have on hand..
Manny Ranga and Violeta Perez have spent the last few weeks hitting up every Vancouver region Costco to buy Lysol wipes and liquid cleaners. They then resell the products on Amazon to make a profit.
people will never cease to amaze me. Friend with is own business with over 60 employees now out looking for TP as his staff have depleted his 2 month supply they kept for the bathrooms.
That does it! From here on in, when my employees have to use the bathroom, they will have to see me first and request a rationed number of squares! The days of free coffee and free toilet paper are coming to an end!
Driver feels it is unsafe for him to work, he has 2 young children. uh, uh, uh, ok wow how do you answer this one. I am sure not the last one to say this but "silly" is coming out now. Answer - we as a company have provided safe guards to assist in protecting you, you can take a leave but it would be a unpaid leave. Good luck
"safe guards to assist in protecting you" like?
If he does have small children and he was that worried about it - he would take the unpaid leave either way. Broker looks at labour as a commodity=bad, Carrier = good?
