shootingstar Posted April 6, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 6, 2020 Before starting a meeting with my boss online, she told me her adult daughter knew of 2 friends in Calgary, who were each fined $1,000 by the police for walking too close with one another outside and they weren't family members. Happened in last few days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted April 6, 2020 Share #4 Posted April 6, 2020 Our neighboring county instituted a $500 fine but only applies to those who are subject to quarantine. They had a rash of people who tested positive and were subject to mandatory quarantine blowing it off and leaving their home, mingling in public places. This added teeth to the requirement.

Something has to pay for this nonsense I can't imagine the coffers are overflowing in CAnada these days - especially as oil hit lows and regular economic activity is stalled.

MickinMD ★ Posted April 7, 2020 Share #16 Posted April 7, 2020 I don't think it will come to that in Maryland, but I wonder about Pennsylvania. Take a look at the "Welcome to..." signs when you drive into each state. Maryland's say things like, "Maryland Welcomes You! Please drive gently." Many of Pennsylvania's say, "Welcome to Pennsylvania. Do NOT speed. Do NOT litter! We WILL catch you!" followed by a list of fines for various offenses. Maybe the Pennsylvanians figure us "Southerners" from south of the Mason-Dixon Line are hillbillies who can't wait to break the law. Of course, Maryland is and has been an industrial state and ever since remaining in the Union during the Civil War, most of the people don't think of themselves as "Southerners." On the other hand, the refugees we get from PA looking for jobs are no prizes either! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted April 7, 2020 Share #19 Posted April 7, 2020 I once got a speeding ticket ($10 cash on the spot) in Salisbury Maryland for 4 mph over. I thought it was my car, but he gave the same ticket to the semi he pulled over with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The technology sector in Canada has been chugging along well for the past few years....notably in Metro Toronto/southern Ontario and Vancouver areas.

The bank stocks have been shorted for 10 months predicated on a recession caused by excessive spending and massive national debt. The ship is sinking. If you haven't pulled out of equities in Canada, expect to see diminished wealth. I didn't see a lot of happy faces or hear cheery comments on the flight home from Davos this year.
