Good question. Will Quebec ordain that all leases are extended?

*If* we can’t even choose where we live anymore, would it be too early to say we’re in a police state?

Quarantine getting to you, Chris?

Maybe you can relax by going for a drive 😀
I kid, I kid. In all seriousness, though, I have seen that landlords are still showing apartments and moving companies have been declared essential. The latest convention for viewing an apartment seems to be viewing it by Zoom for the initial viewing. I suppose the real problem would be if the place was already occupied…
Given the super low vacancy rate, that the régie is closed, that a lot of people are out of work, and that this is all a huge hassle, I suspect most people won’t move unless they really have to. Good luck and godspeed to them.

Kate, in fact, yes, it is. 🙁
But, I tried to highlight the “if” in bold, because obviously it’s hypothetical. But we should be vigilant of our civil liberties. Alberta now says it’s going to be tracking cell phones. Russia now requires everyone carry a government QR code for when they ask for your papers. Israel has shut down most courts of law. Cops in various places are power tripping giving people tickets for walking their dogs. If you boil a frog slowly, it won’t complain.
