Following my time in self-quarantine after CPAC due to potentially being exposed to the novel coronavirus, this evening, I ventured out to the grocery store, where the shelves were empty. No soup or toilet paper, either! pic.twitter.com/b1bvtAa7Zv

Parliament is as empty as the grocery shelves across Canada. It is a complete abdication of responsibility by our government. Unacceptable.#Cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/vgZFiSZGJi
