If Doug Ford lifted every single COVID-19 measure in Ontario today, would the protesters pack up and leave? Their anger is directly focused on the prime minister. At their core, these are more anti-Trudeau-government protests than anti-vaccine-mandate.

I requested an interview with Ontario's chief medical officer of health Dr Kieran Moore two days ago, offering to talk anytime Tuesday or Wednesday. Got a reply just now from @ONThealth media relations that he is "not available this week" but that I should check next week.
