A quick update before we head back out on the town. If you refer to my last post, we arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Ottawa 8 days ago. I would estimate close to a thousand people in our hotel. When we arrived, everyone was 100% masked in the lobby and throughout the hotel. Security guards were everywhere. One gentleman was escorted out until he put a mask on. The very next day, we estimated 30 to 40% were unmasked. Within 5 days, 70 to 80% were unmasked. Lobby, elevator, breakfast line-up, hallways, everywhere. We have gatherings and meetings in each other’s rooms. Everyone waves and smiles, and we all talk to each other! Everyone agrees, its great to see each other’s faces and smiles again. The energy and happiness are felt by everyone! Security and the front desk staff are still masked but they are friendly and wave and smile every time we come and go. Within 6 to 7 days, the local Tim Hortons, convince stores, and many other businesses are mask free! A group of a dozen plus police were watching this happen. The first couple days, the police were 100% masked outdoors. They would not engage with us at all. Within 5 days, they were well over 50% unmasked. They have changed. Many smile and wave at us. Some thank us for bring here! If people want to wear a mask, that’s fine. Its their CHOICE. The speakers here are adamant that across the country, you all have to do the same!! It’s not even about the mask. Its about the power of UNITED NON COMPLIANCE. Its working. Change is happening!!
