It's not over yet, but...

As a senior member of the upper echelon of Old Farts considered to be in the COVID 19 High Risk category, I would very much like to express my sincere appreciation to the Sharbot Lake businesses, their employees and volunteers-You have been jeopardizing your own health to provide home delivery (and other support) of the major necessities of life during this difficult period in our lives. We are indeed fortunate to be living in such a compassionate, caring and responsive community, namely, this “Diamond in the Rough”! To all of you, on behalf of my wife and I, a huge shout out of Gratitude and Thanks!

It would be nice if, after the dust settles, we could all go about our leisure activities holding our heads high, knowing we've done our part, albeit (for me) staying home, keeping busy doing nothing; an activity of which I have become an expert, and proudly, not feel guilty about it.

I also believe the Federal Government and the Provinces need to be recognized for their cooperative approach (unlike some others) to these unusual circumstances. Those who have watched may have noticed the quiet patience with which the PM and his experts have handled the daily press briefings; in particular with regard to the redundancy

(and sometimes, irrelevance to put it mildly) of the questions following each. Kudos to them, and to the PM on his compassionate but statesmanlike manner, in tone and in substance, during his appearances. (What’s Andrew Scheer up to?)!

It's great to be Canadian! It's great to be a Sharbot Laker!
