their goods. When the Covid-19 pandemic began to spread, thousands of shoppers went into a panic-buying mode, stocking up on weeks and weeks of supplies to the point of leaving store shelves empty. Once stocked up with goods, there was less need for them to go out shopping and many stopped going out to eat at restaurants. Buffets were simply out of the question. As supplies ran low, online or-
ders grew bigger - to the point that many grocery stores are now unable to meet the unprecedented demand. They are understaffed and employees are struggling to fill carts, navigating aisles and trying to maintain physicaldistancing rules. All while other shoppers are also reaching for goods on the shelves. It has resulted in serious online website problems for just about every major supermarket chain. Not only are
they having problems with items that are unavailable (due to software issues and not being able process information fast enough) the websites are having difficulty dealing with the huge volume of people using them. Some sites are crashing and others have long waiting times, just to get into the site and have orders placed. Online customers have found themselves waiting in a virtual 'lineup' for more than hour with some
sites, like Metro, not even allowing customers to place an order because all their available delivery time slots have filled up. However, all the stores are working hard to address the issues as quickly as possible. In the meantime, shoppers will need to be patient. And if possible, try to arrange picking up your order instead of waiting for delivery.

Montreal during COVID-19: Five weeks and counting

is a crisis that will touch every sector," said on March 11 Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general. He was then officially declaring COVID-19, a pandemic. On March 16 the federal government in Canada and the different provinces
started to implement policies to counter the effects of the disease, including the one having the most impact: staying at home. Since then, only essential areas of society have been active: schools, universities, restaurants, bars, cinemas, concert halls, sports venues, and most stores have been closed, and people in most companies and government agencies are working from home. A two-meter separation between people is now the norm in public places and "social distance" (some prefer to call it "physical distance") has replaced face-to-face interactions. Of course, most people may feel uncomfortable with these measures, but in the
end, we all know that they are in place for the sake of a better good: the protection of our health. So, while there are some complainers, most people are adapting to this new kind of normality. A different story is south of the border, where some people— (idiots?)—are even staging protests for their right to go back to work and be infected (!). While there is no question that one may miss aspects of the normality we enjoyed before the ubiquitous virus, its irruption may also prompt some critical reflections, some concerning social issues; others, personal choices or behaviours.

pended on March 13th because of concerns about transmitting the potentially deadly coronavirus but was recalled twice to pass emergency legislation. A few dozen MPs showed up on March 24th and then again on April 11th to sign off on Canada's Emergency Response Benefits (CERB) package. Under the new formula an in-person Parliament will meet every Wednesday with fewer MPs than usual representing their respective parties, in order to facilitate social distancing.There will be two virtual sittings of Parliament via teleconferencing on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Prime Minister Trudeau has been giving daily press conferences on COVID-19 without parliamentary oversight raising the ire of the Official Opposition. Outgoing Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said that if the PM and Liberal ministers can hold press scrums outside the House of Commons and safely practice social distancing then the same can be done inside it. He said that MPs are essential workers and have the right to work under the law and they must be able to hold the Government to account. Scheer drew attention to the fact that Parliament is undergoing renovation while noting that on-site workers seem to be managing social distancing. “Right here on Parliament Hill, construction
workers are continuing to renovate Centre Block, a project that is expected to take at least ten years,” he said. “If they can safely renovate the building that houses our Parliament then surely we can do our duty to uphold the bedrock of our democracy.” Scheer said the stakes have never been higher and parliamentary scrutiny is essential. “Canadians’ lives and livelihoods literally depend on the government getting the response to a pandemic right,” he said. The Conservatives initially wanted three inperson sittings per week arguing that virtual sittings could be unfair to MPs who live in rural areas and don't have broadband Internet connections. The Liberals, Bloc, NDP and Greens argued that every in-person meeting of MPs constitutes a health risk although Jagmeet Singh, Leader of the New Democrats said that he understood the concern over parliamentary access for rural MPs. Liberal House leader Pablo Rodriguez said that about 50 members of the parliamentary staff are required to attend whenever the House is in session, but the Conservatives took the view that the risks to staff could be mitigated. In any event, they struck a compromise. Ironically, many politicians haven't been practicing social distancing since the outbreak of COVID-19. There are dozens of photographs of ministers and health officials seated close together at press conferences urging the public to practice social distancing or better still, self-isolation. Ditto, for the media. A damning photo posted on Twitter on April 16th shows the media huddled together outside Rideau Cottage where the prime minister has been speaking daily on the federal government's response to COVID-19.

By Stuart Nulman mtltimes.ca role of Nacho Varga on the hit AMC series "Better Call Saul" -which wrapped up its fifth season back on April 20 -- is now showing his musical chops with the release of his first single "The Wild One", which is now available on
YouTube, and on Apple, Spotify and all streaming platforms. It will be available on iTunes shortly. The single is one of the tracks that is featured on his just released debut EP, which is also titled "The Wild One". It is the culmination of years of songwriting, an inspiring meeting with Prince's guitarist Michael "Fish" Herring, and of months in the studio putting the EP together, in which he enlisted the help of some of Canada's top musicIan's, not to mention the use of Studio Piccolo, the local recording studio that also produced recordings by Celine Dion, Lara Fabian and Garou. The end result is a
record that is a mix of pop, R&B and rock, and exhibits Mando's talents as a singer / songwriter / producer. Born in Quebec City, the bilingual Mando has also been seen on the TV series Orphan Black and Rookie Blue (which earned him two Canadian Screen Award nominations in 2014), as well as the movies The Hummingbird Project and Spider Man: Homecoming, where he portrayed the villain the Scorpion. As well, you can now catch Michael Mando as Nacho Varga on seasons 1 to 4 of Better Call Saul, which are now available on Netflix. Season 5 of Better Call Saul can now be seen on Amazon Prime and iTunes.

$9 Billion COVID-19 funding announced for students n his press briefing on April 22nd, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a
I
By Bonnie Wurst mtltimes.ca
$9 billion package aimed at helping postsecondary students and recent graduates facing challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also said that new student jobs and grants are also on their way. The new 'Canada Emergency Student Benefit' would be available from May to August of 2020. Further legislation is needed and talks are proceeding towards putting forth a Bill for the new program as soon as possible. Many students are unable to find a summer job due to all the closures and layoffs. Recent graduates are struggling to find meaningful work in their field - and they are all concerned about how they will pay the rent and cover their basic living expenses. “COVID-19 has meant that there aren’t as many jobs out there for students, and without a job, it can be hard to pay for tuition or the day-to-day basics. You might normally have turned to your parents for help, but right now mom and dad are stretched, too,” Trudeau said in the briefing. The new Canada Emergency Student Benefit benefit plan is for those who are not eligible for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB). It will help provide them with the financial support they need this summer, as well as help help them continue their studies in the autumn and get the experience they need to start their careers. On the Prime Minister's website page he writes, “The future of our economy and our • April 25, 2020
country relies on the opportunities and support we provide to Canadian students today. To promote a sustainable economic recovery, we need a strong workforce and good job opportunities for young people. That means giving them the support they need to continue their studies and encouraging them to serve their communities. Together, we will get through this difficult time.” These measures include launching: • the proposed Canada Emergency Student Benefit, which would provide support to students and new graduates who are not eligible for the Canada Emergency Response Benefit. This benefit would provide $1,250 per month for eligible students or $1,750 per month for eligible students with dependents or disabilities. The benefit would be available
from May to August 2020. • the new Canada Student Service Grant, which will help students gain valuable work experience and skills while they help their communities during the COVID 19 pandemic. For students who choose to do national service and serve their communities, the new Canada Student Service Grant will provide up to $5,000 for their education in the fall. As well, the Government of Canada will expand existing federal employment, skills development, and youth programming to create up to 116,000 jobs, placements, and other training opportunities to help students find employment and develop valuable skills this summer and over the coming months. In addition, to help students continue their studies in the fall, the govern-

In addition, the government intends to enhance work opportunities for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows through the National Research Council of Canada. These programs are not only being put forth to 'help ensure more students get the financial support they need, but the opportunities and experience many students were counting on'. The government's initiative is very important towards the future of our youth, with hopes for the Bill to pass quickly - without too much political wrangling.

Air Canada passengers must now wear protective face coverings D ue to the COVID-19 pandemic, passengers now have to wear protective face coverings when flying with Air Canada. As of April 20th, a Transport Canada directive has made it mandatory - in order to protect their customers, as well as the crew and other Air Canada staff, especially in areas where physical distancing is difficult to maintain. Before even boarding a plane, including at check-in, customers will have to show they have the protective covering. Otherwise, they will not be allowed to continue on their trip. The directives when travelling by air, customers will be asked to cover their mouth and nose as follows: • at Canadian airport screening checkpoints, where the screeners cannot always keep two metres of separation between themselves and the traveller • at check-in
• at time of boarding and upon entering the aircraft • when entering the aircraft • when they cannot physically-distance from others, or as directed by the airline employees; and when directed to do so by a public health order or public health official • while on board, customers will be required to wear their face coverings • customers will be asked to lower their masks to facilitate full ID checks as required by Canadian regulations Here are the recommendations from Canada Public Health concerning the masks: WHAT IS AN APPROPRIATE NON-MEDICAL MASK OR FACE COVERING (medicalgrade masks will continue to be strictly reserved for frontline workers). When worn properly, a person wearing a non-medical mask or face covering
can reduce the spread of his or her own infectious respiratory droplets. Non-medical face masks or face coverings should: • be made of at least 2 layers of tightly woven material fabric (such as cotton or linen) • be large enough to completely and comfortably cover the nose and mouth without gaping • fit securely to the head with ties or ear loops • allow for easy breathing • be comfortable and not require frequent adjustment • be changed as soon as possible if damp or dirty • maintain their shape after washing and drying Some masks also include a pocket to accommodate a paper towel or disposable coffee filter, for increased benefit. If possible, use different fabrics for each side of the mask,
so you know which side faces your mouth and which side is out. NON-MEDICAL MASKS OR FACE COVERINGS SHOULD NOT • be placed on children under the age of 2 years • be placed on anyone unable to remove them without assistance or anyone who has trouble breathing • be made of plastic or other non-breathable materials • be made exclusively of materials that easily fall apart, such as tissues • be secured with tape or other inappropriate materials • be shared with others • impair vision or interfere with tasks HOW TO PUT ON A NON-MEDICAL MASK OR FACE COVERING • Ensure the face covering is clean and dry. • Wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before touching the mask
• If none is available, use hand sanitizer with a minimum 60% alcohol base • Ensure your hair is away from your face • Place the face covering over your nose and mouth and secure to your head or ears with its ties or elastics • Adjust if needed to ensure nose and mouth are fully covered • The mask should fit snugly to the cheeks and there should not be any gaps While wearing a nonmedical mask or face covering, it is important to avoid touching your face. If you do touch your mask or face, you should immediately wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds. You can also use hand sanitizer with a minimum 60% alcohol base. HOW TO REMOVE A NON-MEDICAL MASK OR FACE COVERING • Wash your hands with warm water and soap
for at least 20 seconds - If none is available, use hand sanitizer with a minimum 60% alcohol base • Remove the face covering by un-tying it or removing the loops from your ears • Avoid touching the front of the mask when removing it • It can be placed in a plastic bag temporarily if you are not at home • Make sure you close or zip seal the bag while storing it • If you plan to reuse the mask, wash it before wearing it again • It can be washed with hot, soapy water, or it can be washed with your other laundry • If throwing it out, place it into a garbage bin or plastic bag After removing the face covering, wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds.

Comfort wines to soothe the soul A very sensual Nebbiolo that brings to mind rose peppercorns, goji berries with licorice undertones. Refined and very elegant, it has noble retronasal flavours that bring to mind dry mushrooms tones. Lovely finale that brings to mind milk chocolate with cardamom. Perfect wine to have with mushroom based pastas.

By Marco Giovanetti mtltimes.ca tain times. Some find comfort in their arms of their lovers, others by shopping and people like me through food & wine We all need that extra glass of wine to relax with our meals specially during pandemic times. However, the secret lies in drinking judiciously rather than for the sake of drinking itself. There is beauty in sipping a Bordeaux Cru Bourgeois with a homemade steak supper. These days my warmness is found in Italian natural reds with pasta and pizza dishes. This is way much better than chugging down a cheap and acidic $10 wine. Wine and food appreciation is a learnt taste. It takes time to build it. Comfort derived from wine is highly subjective. Maybe you get pleasure from something familiar like a classic Bordeaux, Burgundy or Rioja. On the other hand, other wine peeps would prefer the thrill of exploring something wild and new like a funky natural wine. No • April 25, 2020

‘Moose’ takes on a whole new meaning By Martha Shannon mtltimes.ca
Dictionary definition before Covid 19: moose noun: 1. a large deer with palmate antlers, a sloping back, and a growth of skin hanging from the neck. It is native to northern Eurasia and northern North America. Dictionary definition during Covid 19: 1. same as above 2. the distance of 2 metres required in ‘social distancing’ *advised during the Covid 19 pandemic based on the length of a moose verb: to separate a distance of 2 metres between people to achieve required ‘physical distancing’* “The lineup moosed into place to await entry into the grocery store” adjective: the length of separation (2 metres

or length of a moose) required in physical distancing “She stood moose distance from her neighbor” *The WHO is recasting the term ‘social distancing to ‘physical distancing’. The coronavirus is actually bringing us closer together emotionally, so the term ‘social’ distancing has the wrong implication. We are stronger as a community. Language is in constant daily flux. Covid19 was not part of our vocabulary last year. The word ‘moose’ has taken on a whole new meaning, as a noun, verb and adjective. It is quite picturesque. “A moose between people is recommended” “Don’t forget to moose if you go out” “Keep your moose space from others at
the park” Canada and moose go hand in hand. The moose is a national symbol of our native wildlife, 500,000 to a million moose roaming the Canadian north. Majestic, powerful and at times foreboding. Hunters hunt them. Carnivores eat then. Photographers snap their majesty. Drivers beware of ‘Moose Crossings’. Nature
lovers respect the moose. While this largest of deer is not afraid of humans, it will attack if provoked. Moose distancing has always had meaning, but with covid, we now moose distance with no moose in sight. The image of a moose conjures SIZE and this helps us to keep apart. Sad as it is. Other new words are popping up. Care-

Book Reviews - mtltimes.ca
A Conspiracy of Bones by Kathy Reichs
am happy to say that best selling mystery author Kathy Reichs -- and her fictional
I
By Stuart Nulman mtltimes.ca alter ego Temperance Brennan -- are back with a vengeance after a brief absence with her new book A Conspiracy of Bones. The story takes place
during the course of a stifling hot summer in Brennan's native North Carolina. A faceless, ravaged corpse (courtesy of a group of feral pigs) turns up on the banks of a local river along with some mysterious clues that help to identify the victim (whose name is Felix Vodyanov), but not the mysteries that surrounds the victim and his gruesome end. Enlisting the help of Skinny Slidell, a gruff, profane local homicide investigator, Brennan goes deep into the backwoods of North Carolina to search out more information about Vodyanov and the circumstances involved
in his death. And through their diligent investigation, they discover that Vodyanov was connected to a spy ring, a group of fanatical survivalists/conspiracy theorists, as well as a string of child abductions. And if that's not enough for Brennan, she also has to deal with a number of personal health issues (such as a bout with a near-fatal aneurysm and a series of migraines) and run-ins with a certain Dr. Heavner, a vain glory-hound of a supervisor at the medical examiner's office where Brennan works, who is doggedly determined to step of the way. This latest instalment undermine her every of the Temperance Brennan series reads like a jigsaw puzzle, as you follow our crusading forensic anthropologist as she tries to find all of the pieces of the puzzle that is the mur-
der of Felix Vodyanov, and deal with those missing pieces that somehow remains elusive. Although not as forensically graphic, which was a trademark feature of Reichs' previous novels, A Conspir-
acy of Bones is a compulsively readable mystery, as you find out what could have been a cold case involving a faceless, nameless corpse has so many wide-spreading ripples to it.

Q
uebec real estate brokerage activities were deemed non By Eleni Akrivos mtltimes.ca
essential along with many other businesses on March 23, 2020. Since then, open house visits and all home showings have ceased to exist. Real estate brokers are taking the current public health orders seriously, agency offices are closed and brokers continue their professional practice from home. The pause in real estate activities caused quite a few headaches with buyers and sellers who were in the midst of finalizing transactions and hoping to close on their home in the coming weeks. The OACIQ (Organisme d’autoreglementation du courtage immobilier du Québec), the association governing real estate brokers in Quebec, have been closely monitoring the situation and have drafted an official Guide for real estate brokerage activities during the COVID-19 health crisis. On April 20, 2020 in an update to its members the OACIQ stated, “We are very pleased to announce that after considerable and sustained efforts, the government is now allowing the resumption of real estate brokerage activities related to real estate transactions whose occupancy date is scheduled for July 31, 2020 at the latest or whose moving
Quebec Government announces a gradual return of real estate activities date is on or before July 31, 2020.” All licensed real estate brokers in Quebec are required to sign an attestation form, regarding the new guidelines. Brokers who do not respect the guidelines may face disciplinary measures from the OACIQ. Although it won’t be business as usual, priority transactions will go forward in Quebec. If you plan to occupy and
move into a property before July 31st then your situation qualifies as a priority. If you are buying as an investment, you can always make an offer to purchase on a property, but this will be conditional upon visiting the property at a later date. Here is a summary of what priority transactions look like and what a real estate broker will do to ensure everyone is re-
specting the guidelines and keeping you safe: General Guidelines: - Real estate brokers may conduct in person visits only for priority transactions; people moving into a home before July 31st 2020. -All sellers and buyers must fill out an attestation form to justify that their situation is a priority transaction. - All parties involved in a property showing
must fill out a health declaration form regarding any symptoms or contact with others who may have COVID19. -Broker is not permitted to go ahead with the property showing if any party has answered yes to the health questions. The broker must also sign a declaration. - The broker will ensure that these visits are conducted with the
Guidelines set out by the OACIQ. E.g. Only 1 person can enter the home with broker, no children or people over 70 are permitted to visit etc… -All government regulations regarding distancing need to be respected by everyone involved, including building inspectors, appraisers and land surveyors. - The concept of Open Houses are formally not permitted at this time If you have sold a property and urgently need to move to a new home before July 31st, please get in touch with your realtor for a full explanation of the new Professional Practice Guidelines for real estate brokerage in Quebec during COVID-19. Someone to TRUST is what we all need right now right?? Everyone I speak with has their own individual real estate needs, challenges and worries. Having a trusted ear to bounce your ideas off can help you make the right decisions moving forward this year. I love to listen!
