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?
I don't mind having to wear a mask. It's a small inconvenience that can have a huge impact. It surely doesn't hurt to be cautious. Everyone who can, should wear one.

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?
The border should remain closed except for essential travel until Americans start to take this a little more seriously. They should look after their own , and stop the spread there. Its irresponsible to try to come here for frivolous reasons at a time when Covid is running rampant there.

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?
visitors are welcome if they follow the recommendations of the public health officials. Being stupid and flouting the rules will cause problems for everyone

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?
thats a tough one. I would prefer to have my kids learn at home until I was 100% sure schools are safe. I know they say they are, but I also know how hard it is to control so nany kids in one space.

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 muss being able to travel. However, not enough to risk it. I also miss socializing and hugging people. Being Italian, I like hugging. But again, I'll handle it, until there is a vaccine or the thing disappears. We all need to make sacrifices. Small price too pay for safety.
