Description

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?
Yes

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 the border. Cases are spreading in large cities with borders closed. Our cases are coming from within the country.

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?
Continue restrictions inside and have masks mandatory all the time.

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 is not a good alternative.

Question 5: Do you think that there will be a significant second wave in Canada? Why?
I don’t think it will be worse. We are better prepared

Canada.ca, online, news
