There are many YOUNG people becoming ill or carrying the virus and passing it on to others (who may have 'vulnerable relatives' - like me), because they aren't using their common sense - they are so fixated on having 'a good time' they don't want to be sensible and social distance. :thumbdown: It's more then "Just a few months." At best it will be an entire year before restrictions are fully lifted in Canada, i.e. pre-pandemic, no social distancing, no masks, no limits, no public health restrictions. If we had a crystal ball that said on Sept 1st this would be over and we can go back to normal I wouldn't leave my house from now until then. But we don't, and with the way things keep getting extended and extended I don't have much faith that it will. Asking someone to give up being a 21 year old, give up their college grad, prom, etc IS actually quite a lot, because my generation will NEVER get those moments back. |

I'm getting a real sense of entitlement vibe from your post. We need to be all in this together and your talk of travel for what I sense is for the sake of travel doesn't help things.

oh for goodness sake. You are coming across as a self entitled, selfish individual. I hope you are not but you are certainly coming across that way.
My own member of parliament agrees that the travel restrictions should be based by country and not a blanket ban. |

Limos never heard of and no prom dresses or tuxedos. God North America has a lot to answer for. Be thankful you weren't working down pit at 12 yrs of age. Now go and make an appointment with a therapist to get over these traumatic times and how hard life is. |

Err some of us grew up with no college grad or prom and did you hear us complain? Last day of school usually resulted in taking eggs to school and targeting the teachers cars as they left at the end of the day. When you actually finished school then some would have a burning of the uniform. Perhaps some had a Disco and you would sneak in alcohol, drink, dance and if lucky a quick grope.

I probably ended up having more fun in my early 30's than I did in my early 20's, I was working 16-18 hour days in my early 20's trying to stay above water, didn't have time to go party...ha ha |

My consensus as well. I think some of these 'yoof' need to suck it up. Boo hoo, no prom etc. My kids went to them, enjoyed themselves and after it all wondered what all the fuss was about as they were quickly on to a new stage in life.

Radio...you listen to the radio :) how old are you? 65? Other than cbc and college/university stations, Canadian radio is a vast wasteland of 'all the hits of today and the best of yesterday' ' Hot 94', "Joe FM', "Smooth 98'.
