Went to this site. It took four hours to get tested. Actual test took a couple of minutes. Wait to register, wait to get temp/bp checked, wait to get test, were what took so long.
We were 2.5 hours in Barrie a few weeks ago. Same deal, registration took one minute, test took two minutes, rest was waiting.

EDIT:
This was a drivethrough. The vast majority didn't need to get out of their car.

I guess there's an advantage in small towns for this
3 days/week Barry's Bay has a drive through test centre at the arena

went after my Quebec tour just out of caution
took maybe 10 minutes total
never got out of the car
 
September to date numbers ?
Canada 83 in a population of some ~37411038 people.
USA 14,564 in a population that was ~329064917

for the bean counters 450000 to one odds vs 225000 to one odds ? population taken into account and if my abacus is correct, US citizens are dying roughly 2 times our rate of covid fatalities. Two ways you can read that, one we are doing better at staying alive so far,or two they chose poorly. But in view of school related outbreaks. Now would be a good time to send the kids home from school for 3 weeks with a new word to study, this months word is: Autodidacticism
 
USA is very close to overtaking the UK in terms of deaths per million citizens. Probably will happen overnight (actually it probably has already happened, but the latest numbers haven't been reported yet)

The USA was catching up to Spain ... until Spain's second wave set in.
 
O'toole and blanchet both tested positive. Doesnt JTs latest vacation end in five days? Oh well, at least they cam attend virtual parliament.
 
New Zealand, due to its enviable island status, has its numbers well down to the point that tracing and tracking is far simpler and more accurate than more infected countries.

There are indications that the lockdowns have reduced deaths from other causes. There has been a reduction in few flu and cold cases. Reduced air pollution has helped people with respiratory conditions.

The downside is unemployment.

 
Drat! I just finished building an event and I think we just got shut down,
sounds like Ontario is back to hibernation mode ? very sad. See you on the other side.

... sure hope I'm wrong on this one.
It will be interesting to hear others interpretation of the new rules of engagement as they pertain to organized motorcycle competitions.

If it is a staffed commercial event the rule doesnt apply. I'm not sure if a catered race can get you around the limit or not. Is the land owned by a corporation, that could be another route to investigate.
 
Rule applies to private gatherings. Outdoor event, and you have a log of everyone attending for contact tracing, and you make some effort to keep people separated or marked, should be ok especially if it is a commercial event.
 
In Quebec right now. Kids in general aren't wearing masks anywhere. I'm not talking toddlers either. We aren't staying inside anywhere longer than we have to. Eating outside when we can. Not sitting in any bars as its a shitshow. The staff are wearing masks and I feel sorry for them.

Yay (y) looks like we are still good to play in the woods with the precautions and restrictions we currently have in place,
unless the rules change again, sanctioned motor events are not being classed as private gatherings, not commercial either because it is a not for profit organization & event, but as Brian said, everyone attending will be registered by the organizers for the purpose of contact tracing and there are currently no restrictions preventing rider participation from the other provinces.
