Yes apologies for the mistaken reply. Can you give me instruction on how to correct? Thanks

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.
Whether you agree with the Canadian government or not, whether you think there is a conspiracy theory keeping us all locked in, or whether you think Mickey Mouse is behind all of this; it's completely irrelevant. The only thing that matters is you doing what you are told by the authorities.
You might be content to live under authoritarianism but please don't assume that others will always feel the same.

Is that actually true?
I'm just asking because getting a same day delivery slot in the UK can be hard enough in most of the major urban centres and similarly to the US, Germany, Korea and Japan, the UK is a global leader in online ordering and consumer convenience whereas Canada isn't quite there yet.

basically when you deleted part of the post you are quoting, you also deleted part of the info in [xxxxx] brackets that are located at the beginning and end of the post.

I'm sorry but whether you agree with OrangeMango's opinion or not, what you have just stated there should never be the expectation of a citizen of a supposedly free and democratic country. In fact, it's precisely that sort of autocratic rule that has lead many people to flee to countries like Canada over the last century.

With that said, the rules around COVID were set by the Canadian government to protect the people living in Canada. So in order to limit the amount of COVID introduced into the Canadian populous from the international community, they imposed quarantine. So trusting the authorities with their solid argument, I will follow the rules as directed. It makes sense and sounds fair.
You are referring to whether I would follow the rules blindly even if the government introduced autocratic laws and rules. The answer is no because as I stated, I would expect most people to operate with some common sense. Do you think quarantine is autocratic?

I haven't tried to get a supermarket delivery in the UK recently the last I heard, availability was a bit scarce. Then again, Canada has postmates and the UK doesn't.

Yes I do but that's largely irrelevant.
OM is a Canadian and you were telling them to shut up and do as they're told by the government and without question. I'm sorry but that is the kind of argument that I can never accept. There is nothing to separate that kind of attitude from authoritarianism.

I do wish you'd stop directing me to stuff I've already read! Same answer as I gave before, it's i Seeker's opinion that people should follow the quarantine rules. Just like Orange Mango and you think they shouldn't (and god knows how many times you've called people 'sheep' etc for doing so).

Common sense and tolerance is key here. You have misquoted me incorrectly twice now. Let me clarify.
If the government makes a law stating that stabbing someone without legal justification is illegal, most people would use common sense and use the Mischief Rule (why would they have come up with this rule? What was in their minds at the time of making this piece of law?).
Well, because they don't want people running around seriously injuring and killing its citizens. I dig that, I can get behind that. Common sense prevails, and i don't don't go around stabbing people. You can say I will do as I'm told in his case, no questions.
What happens if the government come up with a law stating that everytime I see a government official I have to give them $250 for the privilege of being within 2 metres of them.
Now you're talking! Because common sense tells me that that there is no reason for losing money to a government official, just because I'm around him/her. I, nor the people would tolerate this.
Do you se where I am coming from? Thats why I follow quarantine, because it makes sense.

In my bit we have Instacart which does a few supermarkets and the IGA supermarket does their own delivery. There's a very small place - like a minimart - that does their own. Good service but there's a premium paid.

Re: Quarantine for COVID 19 discussions.
It's very relevant. Bty dismissing that question, you're able to bolster your very weak (in my opinion) argument that following the law without question leads to an authoritative government.
