It's a holiday weekend here in Canada, most people have Monday off
for Victoria Day (in Quebec of course they have to be different and
celebrate Patriot's Day). We're still seeing nice weather, although
it's a bit dry here with no real rainfall in about three
weeks. Hopefully that changes next week - but as I mentioned in my
last post, the weather has been nice for bike riding, and I was able
to get out for a ride yesterday and today.
COVID-wise things are finally getting better, and our region's
curfew will end on May 28th. I read recently that Canada has
surpassed the US for first-shot percentage. The culture here is a
bit different than in the US, at least as far as vaccine
hesitancy. Most people want the vaccine, and we don't see the
political divide on this issue like in the US. So I think the final
percentage of people vaccinated will be quite a bit higher than
south of the border. Like many people, we're anxious to travel again
and visit relatives - both in Canada and the US, and it's looking
like by August we will be able to do that safely.
