Why should my daughter struggle to figure out how to do her university classes completely online or my friends be told their jobs aren’t essential, when our politicians feel free to travel to warm locales to holiday? While my family and I stayed at home and celebrated Christmas, just the three of us around the tree, Saskatchewan Minister of Highways Joe Hargrave stated it was essential that he and his wife travel to Palm Beach, California, to sell one of their vacations properties. No, vacation properties are not essential, and no it is not acceptable to travel to the epicenter of the pandemic while telling your constituents they can’t visit their grandparents in a retirement home.
