OMG Ford just started speaking about financial help to Ontarians, said for months he's been working with the federal gov't to provide help, but he's going to now try to do it himself. (not quoting). Sure sounds like he's blaming PM Trudeau for there not being sick pay

feed has frozen (watching on @CBCNews)
Before claiming the feds should have improved the federal sick pay program, but since they didn't he'll have to do something on his own (SMDH), Ford said he went too far on Friday w/measures

watching back on @CBCNews now. Ford is still putting everything onto the vaccines.
NO-ONE thinks we can vax our way out of this. NO country. NO health officials.
You have to also manage COVID19 mitigation, using other measures - which Ford has not done

now he's blaming the border.
Now he's blaming Ontarians who didn't stay home. Who moved around too much. He's noting data on mobility.
Not saying anything about fact he DIDN'T help essential workers, who have no choice but be mobile

Travis (don't know last name) asks "do you regret the decision to cut that program [sick pay] in the first place?"
Ford "we were going to work with the feds ... I don't believe in hurting the businesses more than they're hurt. [But] we'll work on [a] program."

Travis asks why Ford didn't follow the advice of the science table. Ford says he's listened ... acted quickly.
(not true. I've seen science table docs interviewed on CBC, who say he didn't listen)
Finishes the presser with repeating the "but the vaccines" talking point

Ford mentioned testing. Here's a post I made, while watching a segment on the rapid tests sent by the feds to the provinces and territories (I created the thread in response to Ont Edu Min presser) https://twitter.com/KathrynMathias1/status/1379891050848813056?s=20

- and I'm sorry, if anyone thinks I shouldn't be so interested in Ont, while my own prov of Alta is doing so poorly as well - but, I care about all Cdns & Ontarians are clearly in crisis rn. We're all in this together.
Also, I worry that we Albertans are not far behind Ont

found an excellent thread, analyzing Ford's presser this morning - @KimberleyNoble details what he said, and responds with 'spot on' insight (IMHO) https://twitter.com/KimberleyNoble/status/1385262509683322882?s=20
