Don't be daft.
Global warming doesn't mean that we're all going to be cooking up at all times.
Someone of your age should know this. I expect this sort of bollocks from the over 50 crowd.

I assumed it was just sarcasm, although today is one of those days where the entire cabal of climate change deniers are coming out out the woodwork to declare the end of global warming over a single weather event.

Yes, he's the one who was attacked by his tiger back in 2003.
Siegfried is still alive.

I actually thought to myself how I took it way too seriously. I'm always on people for taking everything too seriously and then there I go and do it up myself.
Proper failing on my part. Thanks for calling that out.

Iiiiideeeeeot government.
Me and my merry band of degens are off next weekend anyway.
The Muskoka crowd are allowed to go to their cottages so I'm going to mine.
We're already breaking drugs laws so whatever. You won't even know we're there.

One problem with Algonquin is that it is traversed by an unrestricted provincial highway. It is large but most of the public access outside of canoe set-ins is grouped around the Hwy 60 corridor. The MNRF will no doubt close the campgrounds which are generally separate from the trails and other day use areas. Attempting to maintain social distancing and group numbers will likely be no easier or harder than any other park. Certainly, trying to do it from the air would be a waste of time. Besides, the OPP has two (possibly three - they were working on funding) helicopters for the entire province. Tthe MNRF has their own aviation services; although fire season is upon us.
Parks that are proximate to the GTA, like Sibbalds, Earl Rowe see a lot of day use, not to mention conservation areas.
I think one of the harder areas to control will be Wasaga Beach - not just Beach 1 and 2, the whole thing. Only part of it is a provincial park and I'm not sure even most locals know what is provincial, municipal and private land.

The Loblaws at Dupont & Christie has closed and reopened twice in the span of the last few weeks.
Looks like store management have not been transparent with the extent of the infections, and measures to contain it have not been handled properly.
According to an anonymous staff member, there's been around 20 confirmed cases and that approximately 40 staff are currently in self isolation.

At my office for the first time in five weeks this morning to see if everything is in order. I found a memo from our landlord about the Ontario-Canada Emergency Commercial Rent Assistance Program... they say they don't have the details yet, but when they do, they will decide, in their sole discretion, whether or not to participate - and only for tenants who continue to pay their rents in the meantime! Let's face it Justin, your programs just aren't that great. I'm glad I don't need them for now.

Companies, as with governments really need to learn that cover-ups or misrepresentations only tend to dig deeper holes.
Most people (and customers) get that everything from bad luck to mistakes happen.
They just expect it to be dealt with responsibly.
Longos here looks good, when they had a second incident at the same store, they closed it for 14 days to allow for full self-isolation of all staff; and a deep cleaning.
They also have moved ahead on the mask requirement. Based on evidence I've seen, masks for customers don't likely affect spread materially in a socially-distant setting.
But masks for workers do help combat spread.
That said, whether this was done in order to make workers feel better or the public or w/e it shows attention being paid, and caution.
Where Loblaws shows something else.
