Re: Coronavirus
This would have to be provincial level, but I wish they would enact some emergency protections for renters and prohibit evictions if put under isolation or quarantine or otherwise can't pay rent due to COVID, renters are in a more precarious position, banks don't foreclose nearly as quickly for non-payment, where miss rent, landlord can issue 10 days notice to vacate. I'd like to think landlords would be more more understanding, but my experience with BC landlords is they are not understanding and rarely willing to work with a tenant.

Re: Coronavirus
That would be for people not cargo. Obvs a driver is needed but halting other crossings would help
