I used to do the same thing!

Though the students are to blame for their recklessness and disregard for the health and well-being of those within the Kingston community I also believe the university has a hand in it. If they had taken a firmer stance then we wouldn’t be in the situation we are now. They sent out media releases and letters from the principal but there were no consequences set out for the students if they did not follow the rules. And now with the ICU situation in Kingston being as terrible as it is I can just imagine how outraged the citizens are. As a Queen’s student who is currently doing school from home I feel I have been out of touch with all this news but now that I am being made aware of it I am astounded. If the principal plans on bringing students back in person next term then they will need to not only come up with a solid plan but they will also need to gain back the trust of the community that they can control their students because up to this point it is obvious they do not have any.

I often took a longer way home from the office when we lived in Kingston so I could drive by the house on King Street where the front lawn is carpeted with this delightful flower.
