My Take: By Taylor McClure

Thursday, Premier Legault announced a curfew for Quebecers and I immediately began to think about how this new measure was going to change the current situation we are facing. Will it help further prevent the spread of the virus or will it bring more issues to the surface? I turned to my best friend and asked her about the homeless population. Where are they to go and what are they to do when they are given a fine? Her answer: I guess the only choice they have is to go to the areas that are designated for them. But these areas are few in number and homeless shelters are often overcrowded. The curfew may help curb the spread, but it will also result in confronting an issue that was previously pushed aside. Welcome to 2021; the year where we are finally forced to face reality.
