@eightbreeze Cursed world!!! 😱

@missladyniobe Yeah, I won't be surprised if this is their official stance, but Ford's blessing will probably embolden the ones who like the power trip. 🤬

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Guaranteed housing & universal healthcare will save more lives than policing ever could.

[Amanda Parsnip @Kalykins38]

Yeah, this won't go terribly wrong... 🤬🙄

#BREAKING: Police in Ontario can now stop and ask anyone on street or in cars as to why they are not at home, and ask for their address.. #onpoli

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

I'll never understand how we got to a place in this pandemic where we are pushing more policing before paid sick leave.

January 12, 2021:

Reporter: “will the measures/response without income supports and paid sick leave work?”

Steini Brown: “i do not believe it will.”

As we await Ford's presser/possible new restrictions, a little workplace outbreak roundup:

Looking at GTA areas where sectoral data is available, manufacturing is single great source.

In Peel: 37 per cent of all outbreaks
In Durham: 23 per cent of all outbreaks

[Andrew Boozary MD @drandrewb]

maybe the most astonishing part is that we have a CMOH who continues to put the onus on individuals/communities in a sea of policy failure.

[Andrew Boozary MD @drandrewb]

field hospitals are now up and ready. we do not need to wait on the projections — our inaction on the science/data is playing out human beings pouring into hospital/ICUs.

curfews will not get at the root cause —people need paid sick leave and safe workplaces to keep safe/alive.

[amil @amil]

The govt would rather institute curfews, personal fines, and pay for field hospitals than just MANDATE PAID SICK LEAVE

Doug Ford wasn’t up to the job of premier before the pandemic. Now we’re over a year into it. The province is a disaster. He’s clearly too far out of his depth and unlikely to improve. He should go. Today.

@eightbreeze What a cutie! 😍😍😍

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

Ontario’s vaccine rollout is an epic policy failure.

We’ve failed teachers and parents.
We’ve failed essential workers.
We’ve failed hard hit communities.

This is so heartbreaking.

Yes Doug Ford actually had the gall to say "walk a mile in my shoes" because it's a tough life sitting in a briefing "until midnight".

He said that as ICU and ER nurses, doctors and paramedics and essential workers are being driven to mental and physical collapse.
