Thank you to everyone who is working so hard!
I hope that when this crisis is over and our governments have time to think, that they will remember the many people who are helping us all. The medical community, police, firefighters, EMS, hospital support staff, pharmacists, people keeping out grocery stores & pharmacies open, and many many more professions deserve our gratitude and I believe they know they have that, but possibly we owe them more.
Hopefully these people don’t feel forgotten amid the government financial assistance that is being given to the many individuals and businesses that, through no fault of their own, have lost their income and would rather be working.
Possibly frontline workers are getting exhausted and scared and wish they weren’t considered an essential service so they also could stay safely in their homes. We all thank you for continuing to do your job!
Members of Parliament received a raise today while most of them, including our Prime Minister, stay safely at home. I suggest we rescind that raise and financially reward those who are on the front lines and really trying to make a difference! Or even better, spend it on the equipment they need to stay safe.
