Not GTA, but if you're living in northern Ontario, there's usually only one or two roads in and out. Have the OPP and RCMP put up the three below road blocks to all but non-essential southerners and I'd say few will get into the north. The MS Chi-Cheemaun is already not running, so keep it so and that'll stop leakers from Tobermory getting to the Soo.

And besides, who's driving from Toronto to North Bay for a hair cut?

If someone can drive to North Bay to get their hair cut after 4 months of being unable to do so in Toronto they will
 
This is a rather silly discussion. It is up to folks smarter than me to determine whether the government's legislated authority in the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act to "Regulating or prohibiting travel or movement to, from or within any specified area" extends to a scenario of the GTA vs. every place. Also, a simple reference to Google maps or a good old Ontario paper road map readily shows all sorts of roads around those lines. How did this turn into a south vs. north thing? I can't drive to North Bay for a haircut but I can drive to Listowel or Peterborough?
 
Thing is though our limited road network makes it very easy to put geographical restrictions in place.

There is no need to lockdown Sudbury like Toronto.
 
Kinda silly discussion if you ask me. If we could put a little bit of resources to greatly reduce the spread of the virus in Northern Ontario, why not?

I am sure they would be happy for things to return to normal there, as it has in places like PEI.

I want to also add: in New York’s Domino Park they placed large hoops on the grass 6 feet apart to show people where to sit. Maybe this is something Toronto Parks could do. A very clear visual of 2 metres could be helpful.

John Tory just announced that this will be happening at Trinity Bellwoods Park. Circles will be painted on the grass.

So like a hundred people can gather at a local winners stand in the line without social distancing and masks but if 6 cars Gather in a parking lot here in brampton and everyone stays in their car the wrath of God comes upon those people and they all got $1,000 fines...


I be honest a lot of these rules don't make sense

I don't get it, it's the landlord's prerogative to set the price he feels comfortable with. If it's too high, it won't get rented. What's the problem here?

The problem is that the landlord in question appears to be blinded by greed and can't see past the sticker price even after the economics have been explained to his office.

Ergo, if the unit sits empty, waiting for it to sell at asking price--in lieu of being immediately occupied by a tenant of good standing who has paid rent up front for a couple of months and pays parking up front for a year, thus being especially financially beneficial to said landlord--the landlord is foregoing money which is in direct contradiction with said landlord's purpose for seeking the higher price in the first place.

Also, what Northern Light said.

Nose. Cut off. Spite. Face. Greedy landlord.

It's all good. He's a good guy. I actually like him, which is probably why I'm looking to do him a favour and take the bigger flat off his hands and take good care of it instead of having it sit empty. My smaller, cheaper flat will be easier to lease.

I don't need to move. I'm sick of moving. I've moved on average once per year over the last 15 years. I'm doing him a favour that also helps me out. It's win-win.

"What's the problem here?"

Yeah, sure, but if insistence on that price is financially detrimental to them which is the opposite effect of that which they are looking for then it's more than fair to question their motives/mental state/ability to think.
