@blakeoliver13 This is a trap. The annual “why do I live in this country” mid/late April storm is coming.

[Ryan MacDonald @the_rymac]

Meaningfully invest in hospital capacity? Too expensive. Meaningless car sticker rebate? Absolutely.

[Ryan MacDonald @the_rymac]

Seems neither “progressive” nor “conservative” to remove a user fee that has no major impact on affordability/access and costs the government (who has seemed very concerned about spending throughout the pandemic) $1.1 Billion to do it.

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

Great news, Ontario!

We’re eliminating licence plate renewal fees and stickers on March 13th for passenger vehicles, light duty trucks, motorcycles & mopeds.

Plus, we will be refunding millions of drivers for fees paid since March 2020.

#BREAKING: Ontario will NOT mandate vaccines for healthcare workers, citing high vax rates & staffing concerns. "Having looked at the evidence, our govt has decided to maintain its flexible approach by leaving human resourcing decisions up to individual hospitals" - Premier Ford

Imagine if they said

“And it’d allow would-be doctors to bypass the med-school gauntlet of intimidation & reeducation”

American policy discourse on education is really In its own world.

[Frederick M. Hess @rickhess99]

Ending teacher licensure would enable school leaders to recruit & more fully leverage all available talent.

And it’d allow would-be teachers to bypass the ed-school gauntlet of intimidation & reeducation.

These are good things.

@munkschool @PeejLoewen @UofT Congrats @PeejLoewen ! Well deserved.

[Ryan MacDonald @the_rymac]

Yeah…we’re doomed.

[Ryan MacDonald @the_rymac]

This seems entirely unnecessary.

[Toronto Star @TorontoStar]

The Ontario government has told the Star it will take a different approach than other provinces in developing its mobile app for COVID-19 vaccine certification, opting to build the program in house instead of contracting it out to a tech company. https://t.co/oFBotxDwOm

[Ryan MacDonald @the_rymac]

So they did it 40 days faster than I said they would. I guess that’s progress…?

[Ryan MacDonald @the_rymac]

At every stage of this pandemic this government have made the wrong decision…without fail. Absolutely zero foresight.

I give it 60 days before case rates are very high again and they are forced to do this like the rest of the (rational) world.

@McMasterU @UofT what’s the hold up?

[Western University @WesternU]

#COVID19 Update: All #WesternU, @kingsatwestern, @huronatwestern, @BresciaUC students, staff and faculty who plan to be on campus this fall will be required to demonstrate proof of vaccination. https://t.co/X60P7YXMgh

[Rob Ferguson @robferguson1]

Health Min @celliottability rejects push for vaccine passports, says people can get proof of vax after second shot for employers or anyone else who wants to see it. Suggests a vaxx passport smartcard could be prone to fraud. Also says no to mandatory vaxx for health care workers.

[Ryan MacDonald @the_rymac]

This is a very bad mistake.

[Colin D'Mello | Global News @ColinDMello]

Ontario Solicitor General makes it clear: The Ford government won’t impose (her word) a proof of vaccination card on residents.

She says the vaccine receipt you received after your shots should be sufficient.

One of the most unique things about Americans is a near complete inability to look at the experience of other countries and learn from it. This is a phenomenon that exists even among educated people

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

The pandemic wouldn't have been as bad if public health officials had realized most people regard in-person social interaction as 'essential', are not bad people for it, and that a strategy centered around expecting them to sacrifice it for months at a time was never gonna work.

[Ryan MacDonald @the_rymac]

@arsenaultashton @crestview_strat Congrats Ashton! That’s awesome.

@traviskann @allieadamo @yelich_ivana - to clarify Is the stay-at-home order extended until we enter stage 1? Or will the province exit the stay-at-home on June 2nd remain in the “emergency break” until stage 1?
