lakeside7 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Given all the loose comments and political BS that is flying around.......... If I were a Canadian, I would think twice / 3 times about coming to Mexico!!... I am corect in thinking that non of the private hospitails are taking Corvis-19 cases in Mexico ? Cases and mortality by country, compiled by John Hopkins COUNTRY CONFIRMED DEATHS CASE-FATALITY DEATHS/100K POP.

virgo lady Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 The answer is a 4 letter word that starts with "S".....but the #'s, driving border restrictions, and air circulation on plane issues all are major considerations. 🤣 ❄️ ☃️ Anyone up for a private jet charter, Toronto to Guad? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is what Hazel McCallion told us. She was mayor there from 1978 to 2014 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was mayor there from 1978 to 2014 You know nothing of Pearson Airport, Hazel M nor Mississauga except what you have grabbed from google. My brother lives in Mississauga and I grew up in Etobicoke in a house my father bought in 1954 and I lived in Etobicoke for a time as an adult as well. My school friends and I used to bicycle to the area around the oldest part of Pearson airport and where you park and the taxi's come is still in Etobicoke. Only the runways,maintenance buildings and freight are in Missisauga which is also designated as part of the GTA now. The arrival/deparure buildings are about 10 minutes from my mother's house in Etobicoke by car and My brothers house in Missisauga is at least 3/4 to 1 hour to the terminal by car. Etobicoke is integrated into GTA [Greater Toronto Area] but used to be a suburb like Zapopan is to Guadalajara Centro. Pearson is a huge airport and if it was my option to fly here from there I wouldn't do it because of the masses of people there and I would definitely not fly anywhere during these times,in any event. Our Canadian accountant usually flies down to their house here in October or November but she told us not before January if at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkshawn Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Well I will admit that Hazel is usually right, however Toronto has a small island airport "Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport" at the base of Bathurst. Been there forever. Edited October 13, 2020 by mkshawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am in Seattle, what do I know OK smart guy.....technically Pearson Int'l IS in Mississauga......however....Toronto also has the Island Airport and Buttonville too.....not to mention Downsview.....within the city limits. And....you can't fly non-stop to Guad from any of them.....unfortunately.....despite Air Canada saying many years ago that it would happen.....and the desire of many to "make it so".

virgo lady Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 We're getting into semantics vs the OP's topic.....Pete, I'm sure you'd agree that Newark Int'l is certainly considered a "NY airport" even though just on the NJ side of the river....verdad? 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 I am sorry, virgo lady, I am just being silly while in self quarantine, waiting for a covid/19 vaccine so that I can safely return to what I now call home, Ajijic. Yes I suspect that I am a hypochondriac as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickS Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Pete, I didn't think that any fans were allowed at Sea Hawk games. And you mean that some Canadians were allowed into the US just to watch a football game!?! I thought they were smarter than that.... or at least that is the persona they are putting up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bowie Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Hugo López Gatell declaró hoy, que lo peor del rebrote COVID será entre noviembre y febrero del próximo año. Hasta abril tendremos noticias de una probable vacuna. Por lo que exhortó a las autoridades educativas a no volver a las aulas hasta mediados del siguiente año.

dichosalocura Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 So, Sr. Gatell doesn't think that kids should return to school till midway next year, just forget about their education and hamper their parent's ability to return back to work because they now have to homeschool their kids. But its ok for their parents to stand in eternally ever long lines now at the bank or at the totillería. Old ladies can still sit freely together in groups on the plaza and everybody is free to go hang out at your local Covidmart (Walmart). But children 12 and under are forced to wait for their parents sitting in the parking lot while their older parents or grandparents shop at the Ajijic Walmart. With stupid crazy rulings like these, its no wonder people are not taking this pandemic as seriously today. What are these goverment people smoking? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyBee Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Schools are closed but bars/cantinas are open, makes a lot of sense. (I wish I could go back to my student days and this time I would take the bar exam...). On a different note, I sponsor several students and they are lucky to have access to the internet. Many in my neighborhood do not and this will spell disaster for their future, if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 School classes are being done over TV with agreements with several TV Networks. No internet needed. 93-97% of MXN households have television. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
