OMG Ford just started speaking about financial help to Ontarians, said for months he& #39;s been working with the federal gov& #39;t to provide help, but he& #39;s going to now try to do it himself. (not quoting). Sure sounds like he& #39;s blaming PM Trudeau for there not being sick pay

Before claiming the feds should have improved the federal sick pay program, but since they didn& #39;t he& #39;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& #39;s blaming the border.
Now he& #39;s blaming Ontarians who didn& #39;t stay home. Who moved around too much. He& #39;s noting data on mobility.
Not saying anything about fact he DIDN& #39;T help essential workers, who have no choice but be mobile

Travis (don& #39;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& #39;t believe in hurting the businesses more than they& #39;re hurt. [But] we& #39;ll work on [a] program."

Travis asks why Ford didn& #39;t follow the advice of the science table. Ford says he& #39;s listened ... acted quickly.
(not true. I& #39;ve seen science table docs interviewed on CBC, who say he didn& #39;t listen)
Finishes the presser with repeating the "but the vaccines" talking point

Ford mentioned testing. Here& #39;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">https://twitter.com/KathrynMa...

- and I& #39;m sorry, if anyone thinks I shouldn& #39;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& #39;re all in this together.
Also, I worry that we Albertans are not far behind Ont
