Question 1: What are your feelings about wearing masks? Do you feel that masks should be mandated by government officials? Why or why not? Are these measures effective against the spread of COVID-19?
They should not be mandated. Give people straight forward facts, no changing every few days. If masks work, then give the studies that prove the need for them, not the wishy washy maybes and leaving it up to the individual areas.

Question 2: The Canadian - U.S. border continues to be closed to non-essential travel. Is this a good or bad decision for Canada? When should the border be reopened fully?
Open borders. Let people make their own decisions.

Question 3: Niagara has seen a large number of visitors from other regions of Ontario on weekends and holidays. This has helped businesses and tourism. But it has also led to crowded venues and the potential spread of COVID-19. What can be done to balance safety and economics?
Let the businesses be responsible for their own business. Bad businesses will be exposed by the customers and people can make their own decision to use the business or not.

Question 4: Schools from kindergarten through university/college have reopened? How has the Ontario government handled the return to school? Are schools safe for students, teachers and staff? Is online learning a good alternative?
Online learning sucks. It is not as effective as in class. Schools are safe as it's proven that children aren't the spreaders people are afraid they are.

Question 5: Do you think that there will be a significant second wave in Canada? Why?
The second wave will only exist because the government has told the media (who they pay) that it will be deadly. Reality will be significantly different than what we will be told.

Question 6: Most people had to cancel plans for a special event, vacation, or activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What did you miss out on? Would you be comfortable returning to these within the next year?
I'm comfortable retuning today, so there's that. Let the people decide, yes they may decide to be reckless but that's on them and that is the hall mark of a free society. Which we are no longer.

Question 7: Where do you get your news and information about the pandemic? What sources do you find trustworthy?
Trustworthy? Not the media. I will go to the government site and glean the facts from between their numbers and make my own informed decisions.

Question 8: When do you think the pandemic will subside and we can return to some kind of normal life?
Whenever the media decides it's over. There actually is plan for ending it, just prolonging it.
