Former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is dead and his brother Doug Ford the Ontario Premier is high on something. Power perhaps if nothing else.
Don't see it happening this year either. Sigh...
Toronto has had more than a year to train personnel and build our facilities to deal with any uptick in hospitalizations.
There is NO excuse for punishing the entire population for Ontario’s incompetence.
The people of Canada long ago gave up individual rights so they could have the “comfort” of socialism ... You can not have both..I hope Americans choose wisely
"Cases" just means somebody tested positive, not even that they're sick. And people getting tested is a self-selected population. It's a useless statistic. But, it's a useful tool for power mad dictators to hold onto power.
She few to Chicago just to get a piece of birthday cake???
Yeah cases have risen I suppose but the national death rate is still trending down. Don’t get what all the panic is about here in Canada. Again the response to COVID is completely reckless.
A good part of the problem is that this country is appallingly behind the United States in vaccinating people. And that in turn is due to a health care system that serves the politicians who enjoy the image of being benevolent to all and also the public employees unions that have clerical and janitorial and other such support staff at hospitals and clinics be paid that good deal more than their private sector counterparts. Patients who need care and the health care workers who provide it are far below those first two groups as far as priorities are concerned.
Canada’s Vaccine Mess
By Tracey Lindeman, April 6, 2021, The Atlantic
Canada has universal health care and millions of doses on order. So why are so few of its citizens vaccinated?
Canadians have been overwhelmingly compliant with public-health directives, wearing masks, limiting social interactions, washing and sanitizing our hands ’til our fingertips prune. And what do we get? Per capita vaccination numbers lagging behind those of 50 other countries, including Brazil, Chile, Turkey, and much of Europe, according to Johns Hopkins University’s immunization tracker. The country currently has a level-four travel advisory: “Travelers should avoid all travel to Canada,” warns the CDC.
Was on a call today with Truckers who run loads out of Ontario - loads of lumber bought by US contractors will be delayed for months until the border is open.
