Ontario could soon bring in new COVID-19 restrictions as it tries to find ways to slow the rapid spread of Omicron variant.

I would never buy a Ford.

Still flights coming and going. He and his team are still getting paid fully. He has had 2 years to get schools ready. He says 70k heap filters have been deployed yet most schools are yelling for them. So where are they. Why didn’t they continue outfitting schools.

Is CERB available for all of those who just lost their jobs this month.

Do you think it's too late to change our new years resolution?

Propaganda and fear mongering

CP24 StevenDelDuca JustinTrudeau cafreeland CFIB As announced & as I prepare the email to my staff for NEW schedule or will be releasing Pink slip too.The consequences are on the table for chain of LIVELIHOODS too. SAVING remaining SME’s means SAVING livelihoods too!

Shit I'm waiting for Ford to quote Donald Trump........' slow the testing down please '. So vaccines don't work ? Great.

Can’t decide on what to have for lunch

Too many people angry with him in Ontario He is going to go back into hiding

Get ready for a curfew guys.

Something to pass the time while Doug assumes no responsibility and deflects any and all questions during his up coming presser. Can you fill the card?

⚠️The Timeline of COVID-19⚠️ MUST WATCH‼️ Does experimental vaccines work with Covid ?! Only truth can end the pandemic ! CCPLiedPeopleDied CCP≠CHINESE CCPVirus

South Africa shows omicron reached peak and causes relatively few deaths. From a scientific perspective, covid has followed its natural evolutionary path, which is to be more transmissible but less deadly. Study also shows break through omicron infection turbo charges immunity.

This province has had 2 years to bolster our health care system? What has been done to prepare for this wave and future ones? Restrictions are the only solution? Will lead to more civil unrest, bankruptcy, depression, suicide and COVID will still be here.

People in Ontario have lost their mind. They need therapy. Demanding restrictions over a mild cold-like virus (now Omicron) basically shows the ppl don’t really about “science”… which most of us ppl with common sense already knew about the general population. 🤦‍♂️

heres a restriction for you....politicians keep your mouths shut. You dont have a clue

Let it rip. Let it rip. Then it’s over. It’s weaker now. This is the evolution of viruses.

😂😂😂 laughable watching it play out. MassPsychosis massformationpsychosis

Disgusting!!!!!

Yeah but keep schools open... great idea guys 👍👍

Ontario, don’t be like Quebec

fordnation has resorted to hiding Covid-19 cases to make him look good for election. SAD!

Soooo let me get this straight…..vaxxed or not you can catch Covid, gov shutting down schools and additional restrictions….and unvaccinated ppl still not allowed to go places and have lost their jobs. Great government….thanks fordnation Sflecce

Omicron is the flu. Stop catering to fear and hysteria.

Stop testing for the cold !!!! Turn off your tv

Any1 with common sense knows we should be locking down!

I have a great idea. Let’s lockdown and close everything and then get everyone fully vaccinated so we can open up and be free.

After the meeting, Ford admitted that the government has 'really just been screwing around,' and that they 'don't know what's going on.' The Premier said that 'starting tomorrow, you're all pretty much on your own.'

Reading these comments below i have no doubt how messed up this country is .. the soldiers who died for your freedoms are turning in the graves , as this is the worse generation of Canadians. Nothing but selfish cowards who don’t have common sense

It's. Easy . Do nothing. No restrictions, no curfews. If people want to take the booster it's their choice. If you get covid stay home until you feel better just like all the other flu seasons. This is not dangerous. Especially if your under 80 years old. Live-work-play

🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬 Is what all CANADIANS THINK OF DOUG FORD HE HAS NO BALLS TOO MAKE HIS MIND UP AND LEAVE ALL CANADIANS ALONE FLORIDA has the BALLS to stand up Look how they R doing

Just got back from the cottage, eh?

🤡 FordNation fordnation

Stop 👏🏻 getting 👏🏻 tested 👏🏻

He might have to run any new restrictions past his daughter first. FordFailedThePeople

Where have you been DF?

Try something different. Your plans don't work. People are covid fatigued. They are going to solialize no matter what you do. Keep schools and activities going. At least those are structured environments. Homeless, drug abuse, learning loss is the new pandemic.

Look at Quebec At least Legault is a decision maker. fordnation is just a loser FordfailedOntario 🤡 🤥 NeverTrustATory NeverVoteConservative VoteFordOut2022

ICU rates are going up at the same rate as cases… everyone needs to slow down and chill out. This is not the same virus that shut down the world two years ago.

What a gong show.

fordnation celliottability - we heard no indoor dining / no gyms / no salons & spas / no bars / no nightclubs / limited retail effective January 5th 2022 is this true Doug

Please take “news” off your tag CBC.😳

How about Ontario residents meet and decide how to get rid of fordnation and his BS OntarioPCParty NeverTrustATory VoteFordOut2022 VoteThemAllOut2022 NeverVoteConservative onpoli

Enough Doug. I support you beyond words. But, enough

High risk environment close it up. No more malls, or big venues like sports or bars. And amp up on the cobra c tracing and give us more free rapid tests. How does this not make sense I don’t understand. Just let me take over his job already

I feel like I am the only one who was happy the kids were expected to go back to school on Jan 5. fordnation celliottability Sflecce tdsb what has been done in the past 2 weeks to ensure a return to school? negligence poor planning leaveOntario

Stop this nonsense,stop these double standards. Most of us are vaccinated. Most are healthy.protect those who need it .And let the rest of us lead our best lives .ENOUGH OF THIS !!!!

Holy shit!! Flip flop Doug is back from the cottage? Great job DOUGIE. How is it that the one on crack was the smart one? fordnation miss you Rob

“Meeting with…” In REAL LIFE? Or, virtually. So no one has to wear pants… 😵‍💫

Open it up more. There’s too much fear.

Grab your bingo cards again.... 🙃

Wait until we hit March and the new variant. These are limited grab one now

fordnation Restrictions because why? You have vax passports and requirements in place yet you want to lock things down? Honestly man have you lost sight of everything all together? Your votes keep getting lost day by day!

Back from the cottage and going to get back to elected job. Missing action for quite some time.

We are screwed if he gets re-elected.

does the case count include Waterloo Region, who is not reporting case numbers on weekends?

This is a receipt for disaster, Ontarians Will find themselves struggling more then ever specifically the small to medium size businesses The Ontario government need to get their head out of their ass and announce a strong solid benefits that will support them

It will never end. ICUs are nowhere near capacity. By this standard, we'll be doing this for the rest of our lives. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.

Ontario doesn't have a Premier. We are on our own! FordFailedThePeople

Don’t do this to us…

Shut. It. Down. Lock. Us. Down.

Well, the Premier finally made an appearance.

Ford is about to make the final blunder during at a vital moment, with spring election coming( which in politics is like.. tomorrow). Fords bucking the trend of other provinces on back to school call will be final nail in his coffin, especially with teacher sick absentee of 20 %

Stop being pussies. We all gotta go one day.

Too little too late ! You should have been communicating about this long before. This is a gong show but we might as well just let it burn out now!

Stop calling him Premier. Just call him Ford!

Thank goodness we got all those needles in arms. They are clearly doing a great job! 🙄 Ontario admit it you've been had. Vax doesn't do anything!

A day late and a dollar short.

This is because we’ve been SO slow on 8th doses in Ontario.

Enough is enough. Either make vaccines mandatory for all or let the majority of vaccinated people get on with living. We can decide for ourselves if we want to dine, shop work.

We have to get the QR code and not much of use if only 5 people can eat inside. ? Is patio open.

Emergency meeting at 5pm on a Sunday before school starts. The incompetence of this government is truly off the charts.

Maybe he doesn't want us to see any COVID stats at all

Covid is in control. Let it run it’s course and we’ll go from there.

Goodbye Dougie. Your days are numbered.

No one cares about the cases you report and most don't even believe those are the real numbers, just inflated to try and scare the people

DO NOT COMPLY!!!!

It’s too late. And if the unvaccinated COVIDIOTS don’t care, why should I ?

Lolol love the optics here…his wife and kids included? They make Ontario policies don’t they?

🙄 OnPoli CoronaVirusOntario Covid19Ontario FordIsFailing FordFailedThePeople ClusterFord VoteFordOut2022 WhereIsDougFord

How can you even consider it when we've resorted to assuming people have covid..

fordnation is useless. Always 10 paces behind. He should never have been premier. Imagine how further ahead we'd be with any other leader.

My wish for today...come out and say Ford resigned.

So this is it? This is the new normal? Vaccines and lockdowns? What happened to herd immunity? What's the plan to beat this thing or does no one employed by the government even know?

Did Ford just wake up from hibernation?

FordfailedOntario

Anyone taking bets on whether or not he shows up.

He's still trying to figure out how to please his pro pandemic voters, his daughter and appear to be doing the bare minimum in a pandemic because this pandemic is all about his poll numbers to him. Let that sink in. Time for the Feds to take over.

CBC. Qualify your reporting of case numbers by letting readers know that reported numbers are vastly under representative of the actual number of cases of COVID-19 in Ontario. To do otherwise is inaccurate, misleading and poor journalism.

Is this the announcement of the announcement or the announcement of a pending announcement?

It’s ok. Pfizer is releasing their version of Ivermectin now. Skippy will approve it as our most direct route out of this plandemic this week!! $$$$$$$$$$$&$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ over health

That picture of him not wearing his mask correctly is an excellent visual metaphor for his incompetent COVID response plan.

The Toronto media done a poor job holding Ford government accountable. Why are the media here allowing Ford to control the narrative?

How about no.

So...No more packed restaurants? 20k people in sport events? Full shopping malls? (Said in complete sarcastic tone). Ford was absent since Dec 17th...Maybe his political advisor should run this meeting? Not sure what's the debate? All was clear a while ago... Good photo up?

Why not just put everyone who wants a lockdown in a carbonfreezing chamber and keep them there for another two years? Let the rest of us live.

give it up already!

Your vaccines are useless against Covid-19 mutants.Stop the madness and stop the intoxicating of Canadian citizens with Frankenstein vaccines.90% of those who have been infected with Omicron variant are fully vaccinated people .

Strange! AtIssueCBC thinks he has done quite a good job lately! WTH!!😲😲

What limiting Scotiabank Arena to 1000 people wasn’t going to do the trick?

Why this guy is always behind the 8 ball! Did he just woke up from his dreams and realize that the province is in trouble! It’s never too late to do the right thing so do something and fast because the alternative is watching up to 15 dead a day!

This guy is a Monster

True north strong not free

Say… what exactly is in that cabinet?

Please don’t use our children as statistics or potentially leave them orphaned fordnation close the schools!

Ford's newest polling numbers must have shaken him up. Only thing that would drag him back into work.

Guess those vaccine passports didn't work 'We need to protect our hospitals; we need to avoid lockdowns at all costs. We want our kids in schools, and our businesses to stay open,' he said'
