Don’t worry about keeping me or my family safe. That’s my job not yours and we are definitely not your friends.

[dannyfisher]

Stay home...but send our kids to school? WTF? Which one is it?

[subfry]

Doesn’t he get get tired of saying the same crap over and over again! Shut up Doug !!

[المرتدالفخور]

We are not in this together. He hasn’t lost his job or had his pay cut, same with the other politicians and doctors.

[hopiamongo]

Dougie.. we know we're NOT your friends so just stop saying it and stick to your rich friends in York region whom you promised the opening already to help their business.. you're one and done!

Who else is having a skin crawling reaction every time Ford talks?

[Moe-ossg]

Why quarantine young healthy individuals? Quarantine those who are at risk! Goofs!!

[DES]

Get rid of every single politician that's going against opening the country. Conservative, Liberal, NDP, doesn't matter...they don't have your best interest in mind.

Now everybody from Peel and Toronto are going to flock to nearby cities...

[cubeweaver]

According to Las Vegas bets, next Ontario lockdown will be in April...

So you have your employees back. How about the constituents back

[thedoo]

Listening to this guy is like nails on a chalkboard

[g.thomashart]

But who will we have to choose among at the next election? Probably 90% of candidates will have permitted this reclusion and abolition of human rights😤

[johntrue]

What ever happened to seasonal colds and flu???
You don't suppose that....

[miss.apprehended]

He often refers to his friends, not Ontarians..

[javathehut]

I can see him talking but all i hear is crap

[Leaveby]

My friends... I already made plans for next weekend before you extended the lockdown so unless you come here and physically stop me, I'm going out. Bye

[rhondadablonda]

Why is York Region opening up? You speak of deadly 3Rd varient yet our region can open up why?

[canadiagamer]
