Long line at drug stores

We ran out of toilet papers last March... What will be OOS this time...

People line up at drug store at -32°C in AB. It is not for the Christmas flash sale. No cheap big screen tv... They are getting the COVID quick test kits before OOS.

@popping It was like -40°C for me in Lake Louise, AB. Didn't feel that much cold because in that particular part of Alberta barely any wind. Ontario for instance could be 30°C warmer and it feels much colder vs. the Lake Louise temperatures. Either way standing out in the cold is no fun lol🏔☃️

I bet! Ever since the pandemic hit, we've been at home, rarely going out. In winter that makes a huge difference. And when we do go out we dont get how we used to do it every day - LOL!! Love Canada, but wish it were warmer!!

Same thing is going on here in Quebec. People are waiting in line in the cold and then some of the later ones are told that there are no more tests available. Quebec has received 7.5 million of the 15 million tests already but people are still not getting any, something does not add up.

Yesterday our wonderful premier announced a curfew effective tonight, yes on new years eve. From 10pm to 5:30 am you are not allowed outside unless its for work or you will be fined upwards of 1000$
