Love that my son (whose roommates and girlfriend have tested positive) is required to attend his exam in-person at @UBC . If he tests + he has been told by his prof that he will have to take the exam in summer.Will this not drive students to attend exams while Covid positive? – at Abbotsford, British Columbia

Looking ahead to Father’s Day this weekend, it just really struck me this year: I no longer have a father here to celebrate. Not a biological dad, a step dad, or a father-in-law. Cherish your dads while you have them folks
