The initial 28-day period for the modified Stage 2 restrictions will come to an end at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday in Toronto, Peel and Ottawa and nine days later in York Region.
Ford has faced some criticism from business owners who have said that the number of outbreaks associated with gyms and bars and restaurants were not significant enough to warrant their closure for nearly a month but on Monday he defended the decision, noting that it may have helped the province avoid a much worse fate.
Speaking with CP24 earlier in the day, Toronto Mayor John Tory expressed a similar sentiment but said that he expects there will be restrictions on some business on a “continuing basis” even if the Ford government decides not to extend the modified Stage 2 closures in Toronto past Friday. In defending his decision to ask for a plan to reduce restrictions, Ford has said that “we don’t know how long this virus will be with us” and has suggested that widespread business closures “can’t go on indefinitely.”
Hes a lost cause now, everything he touches he screws up.
brianlilley Ask some tough questions and it was great to call fordnation out for not answering. But why will nobody ask about the veracity of the PCR test and the error rate upon which this whole Casedemic is built? It seems to be taboo. Hospitals and ICUs are steady.
You want good new RESIGN!!
Another fail for fordnation. Again he was not prepared!! 😡
He’s resigning? That would be great news.
I thought the first reopening was supposed to be the safe one.... Lost all faith in our government.
Best news will be when he resigns
So to be clear, pharmacies can't keep appts to those seeking flu shots but Ford is still pushing hard to get restaurants & gyms open & this is his priority. And blames pharmacies for - gasp - arranging to get flu shots to people when HIS health minister urged people to take them.
open up the damn economy sick and tired of this BS fordnation
maybe ask him why he's allowing a warehouse to take 4 million square feet of protected wetland in the green belt...the watershed for Duffin's Creek in Pickering/Ajax...remember when he said his friends couldn't build in the green belt? I do...and I vote
fordnation reaction when brianlilley of the Toronto Sun gets to asks a question when Dougie has no answer. Keep up the good work brianlilley
'Air on the side of caution'? I think you mean 'err'... journalism
Just wishing and hoping and thinking and praying🎶 Planning and dreaming the case counts will drop🎶 That won't get transmission to stop🎶
Canada is doing what Canada does. Waiting on the rest of the world to act so they can follow.
Gee guess closing the gyms and restaurants wasn't the fix because they weren't the problem in the first place. Don't kill the economy any further.
🤔 That's that part I have been waiting for from our Premier Ford... My hopes just elevated a Few Notches. 😆
