I have been super impressed at the speed and breadth of our governments' decision making. Thinking of the dichotomy that existed just a few weeks ago, I have really appreciated the lack of partisanship and regionalism. Basically in the span of a week, the governments have been trying to reconstruct every aspect of our lives to keep us safe. The feds have committed over $90 billion in payments and deferrals in a very wide net to help support us through the next 12 weeks!
Trudeau has seemed very Prime Ministerial, Chrysta Freeland has been her usual rockstar self (definitely a potential PM in waiting), Horgan and Dix have been nothing but direct and competent, and I have every confidence in Theresa Tam and Bonnie Henry.
I have also appreciated the voluntary actions and sacrifices taken by private businesses, from closing offices to enforce that their employees work from home, to actually shuttering operations.
It is amazing that when times get tough, without complaint, we shift way left to support each other. And despite the hoarders, I have rarely felt so thankful and privileged to be Canadian and to live on this side of the border!
