We’re still in lockdown. My province is lockdowned - no travel to other provinces. It is meant to end this month… let’s see if it does.
Update: lockdown includes a prohibition on the sale of alcohol

Here's a funny for you. On just how stupid Americans can be. The government issued Economic Impact Payments during lockdown. In other words here's money to spend on pot and alcohol, because those are the only businesses open. Grocery stores were open too, but the only two industries that showed profits were up was alcohol and weed. Draw your on conclusions. When I say showed profits weed in Colorado alone reported $2.2 billion in sales.

All non essential retail is currently shut down (except "Click and Collect"). Thank goodness Grog Shops are considered an essential service. Life in lockdown would be unbearable otherwise.
I am down to my last half dozen stubbies so a trip to the Bottle Shop is in the offing.

Did I mention, our first lockdown also banned cigarettes and related products. Illegal sales of tobacco products abounded.
