Then again I'm one of the people getting annoyed that every time I try to watch the news it is mostly 24/7 coverage of a hearse driving down a road, and even more annoyed by things like a provincial government contract I was going to be working on being delayed because the government isn't supposed to issue contracts during the period of mourning (I don't really care about the contract delay, it is the principle of shutting a bunch of government functions down - does that mean their contracts people are getting paid but not supposed to actually do their jobs now?).

Nobody* (except for a couple of Maritime provinces but do they really even count?) has given a blanket stat that covers private sector businesses. Seriously. Nobody. Giant nothingburger.
