Alan - Additional case of COvid-19 confirmed in Toronto. Pt. had returned from China recently and was likely not contagious. https://news.ontario.ca/mohltc/en/2020/02/ontario-confirms-presumptive-case-of-covid-19.html

In something that should shock no one, the government messed up and licence plates can’t be read in low light conditions. It’s going to take 3M some time to build another quarter million plates and redistribute them. In the meantime, the 407 and red light cameras can’t read the plates at night

Update on the Virginia gun fight:

https://www.foxnews.com/media/va-democrat-joins-gop-in-voting-against-gun-control

The proposed assault weapons ban - one of several Virginia bills that prompted protests at the state Capitol earlier this year - ended in committee this past Monday. Four Democrats broke ranks with their party to help reject the bill in a 10-5 vote and send it back to the state's Crime Commission. 

PODCAST CHALLENGE

Even the city of Vancouver has gotten on board, and allows 6 chickens per  household. Consider getting a few hens for your backyard…… Or roosters if you don’t like your neighbours...

Day olds are available 

Barring that, source a local small egg producer to get better eggs for cheaper, while building community and supply preference.
