  • 65 – Pandemic Hallowe’en

    Today is Hallowe'en, so I'll be talking about our plans for the day, how this will be different from some of the other major 'holidays', and how I think it's too bad Ottawa went for 'we don't recommend' instead of 'here are some ways to do this safely'. But I get it.
