On Dec. 15th, I asked Doug Ford (twice) if any work was being done to set up a robust rapid testing program so we could give schools a fighting chance of staying open after the holidays. Premier Ford didn’t answer my questions.
I asked Premier Ford twice if the provincial gov is working on a rapid antigen testing program for Ontario students so they can return to school on January 3rd. He didn’t directly answer the question, instead saying that Ontario needs more rapid tests from the Federal government.
