Here in Manitoba there has been articles about drivers being refused medical service. Also bathrooms being closed to drivers . This started withe recent change to code red. It was even mentioned in the daily Covid report. The Province is upset and asked businesses and Drs. to cease this practice. I hope to be on the road in a week and would be pissed if some Tim's would not let me use the bathroom. Has anyone here had this problem?

No have not had any trouble using facilities. But all restaurants are closed to dining. Best you have is Richer, Deacons Corner, Headingly FJ and Husky. Then Austin coop Subway. Brandon Husky Esso with a Subway and timmies as well as a Mcdonalds that you can park at the side. Virden has an A and W as well as a timmies. That is pretty much it. Canada is brutal for long haul. I am sure I missed some.

I did long haul over Canada for a bit and all I remember was many many potholes and no place to piss. Just felt like going up into into deep isolated way-up north where all you get is eskomos and cariboo try n' #### eachother. I was once almost killed by an elk, and another time some deer. It was crazy. But then I realized how United States is a civilized nation with rest areas, and plenty truck stops, decent roads, etc. So that was the end of my Canadian affair on ice.

Try Northern Ontario for no place to piss. I just use the snow plow turnouts. Saskatchewan is also bad. Who builds rest areas that purposely cannot take trucks. Continuing to Alberta they have some large pull offs with dry rest rooms. Usually no paper. Lights don't work and pee and excrement everywhere. Even an animal would not go inside .

I needed a extension on my medical because they refuse to do trucker medical even though I isolated two friggin weeks . MPI said many truckers have that issue so they give extensions.

Last time I used a walk in clinic in Steinbach. I think you can have any Canadian Dr
Call mpi and ask.magoo68 Thanks this. -
Your doctor is suppose to have direct knowledge of your personal medical history, I think 2 years. But these days, any doctor I think is acceptable. My doctor did the vision portion as well.

Tims in Dryden only has window service after midnight and washrooms locked up. Petrocan card locks are best option I’m aware of.
