Description

Every day I have to walk past the beer store on Welland Avenue. Every morning men are lined up outside before opening with the cans they have collected the day before, from people's trash, or wherever. One person told me they can earn up to $150 a day that way. When the beer store stopped collecting cans during COVID-19, which is understandable, then men were gone and so was their source of income.
-The only way I can bank is in person at TD on Queen Street. I don't have a car. I went to the bank and discovered that the branch was closed, with no warning. When I turned around to leave I ran into a woman heading to the front door with a deposit book. She was stunned to discover it was closed and asked me what she was supposed to do. She worked for a lawyer's office and was supposed to close two deals that day. She was dumbfounded and asked if she would have to get a draft at the post office. I suggested she check their web site for an open location. When I checked it myself I discovered there was no open branch within walking distance.
