Last nights revelations in the Toronto Star from Dr. Shelley Deeks & Beate Sander must not be ignored. (Non-paywall version here: https://www.bramptonguardian.com/news-story/10264886-ontario-rejected-its-own-public-health-agency-s-advice-when-it-launched-its-colour-coded-plan-for-co/

Doug Ford and his administration has knowingly went against Ontario Public Healths recommendations and put every Ontario resident's life at risk. Now people are dying preventable deaths.

Ford could have prevented these deaths by following Public Health recommendations. Instead he chose to go 4x what the recommendations were. He chose to not run the final plans by Public Health officials before releasing them to the public.

This is not a partisan issue. When an Ontarian dies, they don't die by party – they die as a human being who lives in Ontario.

Ford and his administration lied about the framework and continue to. People have died and will continue to in larger numbers if nothing changes.

Doug Ford needs to resign for his incompetence, lies, and inability to provide leadership in this pandemic.
