Lol we all know this guys a joke
@Jacek jheez a little harsh don’t you think
Not so much a joke when he’s calling the shots and we’re/you’re following everything he says
@ꓘILLAKawhiJordan reality is harsh? reality is just reality
Better then any of the other parties……
@Jacek And other politicians are saints?? None of them do anything that didnt get publicized?
You don’t sign NDA unless your trying to keep something secret.
@The Scrub hmmmmm
Game over
@The Scrub really?🤔
@Daniel Frigo – You can’t use a legal document to bind someone to keep them silenced if a crime was committed. Any legal contract is invalid if it involves a crime.
@The Scrub did not know that, thank you.
smoke some more dude
And why are some journalists being excluded from being able to ask questions? It is only handpicked journalists that are allowed to ask questions.
@Ka wi “Attacked”?! I’d say that’s an irrational statement. Her question was valid.
Hmmmmm why do you think ?????
@Anthony Willson ok I’m not going to keep reiterating the same thing becuase it just seems everyone is coming up with the same rebuttal here. I’ll make myself clear one last time. I’m not sure what constitutes valid for you, I suppose that it is coherent and easily understood, but that doesn’t mean it is valid. Think about the context of it. The premier is advised by a panel of experts including doctors who’s opinions are each derived from hundreds of other experts and doctors. These discussions are ongoing and happen every day. The premier listens to them collectively and makes an executive decision on which way he will go on any given matter. This reporter has found some discrepancy between one of his decisions and a recommendation over some matter; which she is absolutely expected to happen and normal, considering the massive amount of decisions and multitude of meetings that are ongoing every day, and she wants a full list of which expert and which doctor recommended which measure on a specific day. Considering that expert opinions change daily, are not always presented simultaneously but individually throughout the day and night, it is really impractical to ask that, not to mention redundant because why does it even matter when at the end of the day the final decision has to be made by him? The question serves no purpose other than unfairly attempt to paint him as someone who hides information.
Also the same 3 doctors on every news station to control the narrative
It’s one big script. They’re all actors
Bless this caller
The premier didnt really answer the question, and he came back to say how “he’s the only elected official…” that didnt offer anything relevant. Why does his leadership style replace substance with folksy-filler.
Why? Because he’s a liar
Typical bureaucrat, responds with nothing but a dignified response to his self importance.
Bureaucracy at its finest. Citizens get blamed and fined, but these idiots get away with far worse and give themselves credit where NONE is due!
Anarchism is order
Where are the medical reports advising Ford? We should be able to review these.
This pandemic didn’t effect one government . Tax and spend.
In many cases it actually saved them
Politicians have become panicked weak de facto triage medics with no clue how to handle complex situations.
They have only one thing in mind, keeping their jobs.
Of course they can’t solve anything. They’re “POLITICIANS”, not TECHNICIANS. THATS WHY
Like many governments, Ontario has been a giant hot air balloon festival.
Government is an inherently corrupt system, it has the exact same nature as a virus, extracting energy/resrouces away from the useful/productive to fuel its own self serving agendas that are not in our best interest.
And those many governments are all conservative.
And Fraudy Ford the biggest giant hot air balloon out there. LOL
There is no political transparency in any provincial or federal government in Canada !
answer Randy Hillier’s questions! Why is there a need for isolation camps?
Inquiring minds wanna know.
The federal government has announced funding for voluntary quarantine sites for some of the country’s homeless and has made plans to expand self-isolation capacity for returning international travellers without suitable places to go, but Canadians will not be compelled to leave their homes for so-called COVID “camps.”
@Unknown User so it took a “pandemic” for them to finally do something about the homeless?
@KGG 95 Also see that they have a successful bidder for Programmable Hydraulic Guillotines. Hmmm, related?
It would be a lot more honest to simply say, “I’m not going to answer that question at this time.”
Doug Ford is listening to his master, Justin Trudeau.
Showing up every day to deflect questions.
One day it;ll die.
Just like his master, Justin Trudeau
@Ghostly Programmer both need to go. If enough men would fight for change we can see it but we don’t have many
Their voice and facial expression doesn’t match what they are saying. Liars.
Elloot and Ford are unable to flatten their own curves.
😂😂😂
BROOOO! LOOOL!
Bruh!! 🤣
Since when any of them are able to do anything? The less they interfere, the better.
That fat obese guy Ford can flatten anything.
Dodges the question and starts praising himself about taking charge and working as a team. Yeah, ok. No answer and no transparency.
“Unprecedented transparency” lmfao absolute joke.
Lmao That immediately stuck out to me also. Friggin clowns 🤡
