7/7 Why do some provinces make clear plans while others like Ontario w/ largest Ministry & best data in Canada, struggle to say anything concrete? Is it fear of media/opposition criticism if they fall short? Join debate @picardonhealth @Megan_Ogilvie @brianlilley @CanadianPress

My neighbour @garykapelus is a prolific #Covidparody writer & I would often perform them for our daily community singalongs on our street during pandemic lockdown #1 in 2020. See Gary’s interview this morning on Canadian Jewish News @TheCJN @ebessner
