Ah, that’s why there were 10 cop cars next to the skate park. I thought they were preventing a party like the one there was yesterday, or urged people not to stand close to each other, or even hug and kiss.
I see it quite regularly in Parc-Marquette while walking the dogs. People arriving at a group of their friends, all unmasked, and getting a hug and a peck. Young people just think they’re invincible. I try to just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ because I can’t convince them this is serious anyway, and not just an issue “for old people and those are vaccinated anyway”.
Maybe someone should make a daily TikTok* where they interview a young Montrealer who recently had Covid.
*Or wherever the 15 to 25 year olds are watching these days.
100%. It’s impossible to go out in public and not see at least a couple of people who meet up and do the unmasked bisous or ungloved handshake. Of course, you never know if they are from the same household, but if you live with someone and saw them that morning, do you squeal, hug, and kiss them when you see them in the park later that same day? If you’re not in a romantic partnership, probably not… I mean, why do you think we’re in this mess, to begin with?

Hug and kiss? What kind of world do you live in, mare?
