Throwing the Minister of Housing's Chief of Staff under the bus, is not enough. A COS does not act independently. The Minister of Housing directed him & Ford ultimately approved his changes to the GreenBelt.
Concerned?
Call Ford's public feedback line (24/7): 416 325-1941.

If
@fordnation
follows this advice & re-opens schools, parents will hold him 100% respon for any rise in B.1.617, any further implosn of healthcare system, any 4th wave in the fall.
2-3 wks of school in hot, unvent classrms, that disrupts kids routines AGAIN, is NOT WORTH IT.

Why on earth were all these outbks allowed to happen BEFORE the CMOH mandated masking?
The CMOH talking point is always that he is watching the data carefully & is prepared to act.
Well, he didn't, until all these infections had happened.
🆘 These ON LTC/RH stats are SHOCKING.
Betw Aug 27/23 -Oct 28/23
LTC Outbks: 394 COVID, 5 Flu, 1 RSV
RH Outbks: 302 COVID, 0 Flu, 0 RSV
Resid LTC Cases: 5,459 (181 reqd hosp)
Staff LTC Cases: 1,698 (none reqd hosp)
Resid LTC Deaths: 106!

While they are away at the cottage:
- more ERs will close
- more fires will burn, making air quality worse
- more hosp will have COVID outbks
- the Eglinton LRT will not open
- schools will prepare to reopen with less $
And, holding them to account will be much more difficult.
Last day for MPP’s in the Legislature. The 43rd parliament rises for the summer later today.

Here we go again. This gov always eats the marshmallow...with predictable COVID results.
#COVID19

*Daily cases are up
*7-day average is up
*R > 1
If you are going to change course, chance course early.

Atlantic free home tests (nasal swab). Read in 15 min.
Thread shows step by step process.
We need rapid home tests in ON. It's ridiculous to book an appt and pay $40 at Shoppers for a basic asympt test.
ICYMI: Free take home self-swab covid-19 rapid tests have been a thing here for quite awhile.
Interested but don't think you can do it? Nonsense! Here are the steps.
Your packet will look like this. It will have an instruction sheet and QR code for a video if that's your easier

What is the evidence from the SCIENCE table that 2-3 wks of school will have any sign impact on kids' mental health? There is none listed. I truly can't believe that a SCIENCE table would risk prolonging COVID, in the face of the emergence of another highly transmissable VOC.

Remembering how
@tdsb
and
@TCDSB
had a mask mandate for KDGs (prov guideline said only grades 1-12) without a Section 22 order... Just sayin....

@torontolibrary

My understanding: 50 monitors avail for loan from TPL's digital innovation hubs.

Saying
@fordnation
missed windows of opportunity makes it sound like all of this was inadvertent happenstance.
Me:?
@fordnation
didn't miss opportunities
He CHOSE not to act, over and over again, even when told what could happen.
And, it kept on happening...
You know, it feels like we are all yelling at each other about how we got here, but it's fair to say most people agree that SAFE schools are essential.
The problem is, as Tara says,
#ON
had time to prepare for this situation but missed all windows of opportunity.

@TheAgenda
On 2nd thought, why are you,
@TheAgenda
platforming Matt Strauss? I thought you were more thoughtful & evid-based than this.
As we head into Wave 8, his invitation is the ultimate in insisting on both-sides & will do harm.
