Same here. Quebec recently announced closure of all non-essential retailers. On the list of the essential were liquor stores and cannabis(!!). We've only had legal cannabis for recreational use for about 18 months, so how its got to essential in that time is open to speculation.

I'd guess that someone in the government considered what his life would be like indoors for weeks with no dope ...

The natives getting restless is always a concern for any government. Keep 'em entertained, drunk and mellow and you solve a lot of problems.

The liquor stores have to remain open for the lucrative tax revenue. Closing them would also inundate hospitals with alcoholics suffering withdrawal, which can be life threatening.

Inundating the hospitals with alcoholics could get them their Corona fix.

At least, the pot will keep them calm, but the alcohol may stir up their anger

I've still got the terrible habit (picked up in Brummidgehum) of calling them "outdoors", so be careful: I'm a carry-out-er!

It is certainly helping me - just a couple of pints at the end of the day - life is strange enough at the moment without having to stop drinking

Two major flavors of OS to use on a PC and they both come with stupid issues that cause major problems.
*sigh* I'll probably have to run win10 as my primary OS next time as my $600 MIDI controller is a paperweight in linux, and my VM software can't fully preserve the MIDI connection over USB from the host machine for some reason
Due to that, and some hardware issues - my wifi dongle mysteriously won't work with ubuntu this time, though it worked with the same exact OS and version last time i installed it, and a well earned lack of trust in ubuntu's grub installation, particularly where my shiny new NVMe system drive will be concerned, I can't justify using it. Linux is kind of a toy, mainly due to lack of software and hardware support, but also because of general awkwardness - you can tell it was designed by a million different hands. "What's so bad about that?" Imagine a piece of furniture built that way. I'd use MINT but I've had similar issues.
And Windows is a total horrorshow when it blows up. I've managed to, through custom install settings and tweaking after the fact, got it to stop sending massive amounts of information back to microsoft, but disabling the spyware "feature" of the OS is just part of the problem. Sometimes it just randomly fails. I had Visual studio blow up my entire windows installation but only where one visual studio feature was concerned (reinstalling VS and even moving to a new version of VS didn't fix it) to where I couldn't make VSIX packages anymore. Random nonsense like that. It's infuriating. That and eventually it gets slow enough to be hateful no matter what you do. Registry bloat is the most likely culprit, but series of service packs and patches can't help.
What I wouldn't give for a nice, stable, OS without all the garbage, that just worked, and was close looped dev enough that it all worked together consistently, and supported my hardware.
Is it really too much to ask?

Stability and an open hardware platform is always going to be a difficult combination to achieve, I'm afraid.
Apple has it easy - they control the hardware (boy, do they ever control the hardware!) and they produce the software, so they have a much easier job of it: though even then bugs get through, like a battery saving measure being mistaken for a "slow down the old kit before the new stuff launches" feature.

I won't buy apple because they're overpriced, they have the same lack of software problem linux does, and they screwed my family over in 1986 because we were conned into buying an Apple ][gs. Six months after it cost $2000 new (in 1986 money) apple wasn't supporting it and nobody was writing new software for it.
Never again

That's a long time to bear a grudge!
But no, I don't buy Apple either: overpriced, overhyped, and (if you're honest) not very good. The people who complain how Windows monitors them and won't let them near their own machine should try setting foot outside the Apple ecosystem and see how hard they make it to do anything ...

I'd get over the grudge if they changed their behavior.
