i am very strongly not a conservative and do not support doug ford, but i definitely respect how he's handled the COVID-19 situation. He responded correctly and that i do appreciate.

Enough is enough already. Country needs to reopen on a regional basis. Why should everyone in Ontario suffer because Toronto can't get their act together?

God bless our beautiful country Canada!!!l

Wake up people. The grip will only get tighter, the game is rigged

Hi premier Ford, just want to say that my family and I are proud to have you as our premier. You’ve been doing an awesome job handling Covid19 pandemic. Also you present yourself in a down to earth, honest way. So glad your going to be reviewing LTC facilities, it should have been done a long time ago, prior to you coming into office.

Stay safe.
Take care.

You can have a phase 1 to 5. But it's 5 to 1 chance that half of those business will be able to re open ever again!!!

No masks, tests, vacinnes or trackers for me or my family. Ever.

If anything, the lock down is showing us that we don't even need government.

Doug ford I think its good to open the schools at September look what happens at new York dont ruin the kids safety we should re open the schools at September

[jayblair]

Sorry Doug .... You don't care about ME !

Why do none of these guide lines apply to public transit agencies? Fire the drivers (Ottawa, Toronto), ease the lockdown and STUFF THE BUSES! All in the name of "safety", I'm sure nobody will get sick with that kind of planning.

Lowest cases so add more acute care beds??

If anyone did their research, one might discover that last year, a little over 9, 000, 000 (Nine Million) people because of pollution and pollution related illnesses died world wide, 800, 000 in Europe alone; where was the world wide condemnation about that, where was WHO, the CDC, world governments? The rhetorical answer might be, that's the price of business; and remember, pollution in the long run produces profits.

HEALTHCARE WORKERS NEED PROPER FUNDING. This is still true AFTER the pandemic is over.

As a lifelong Conservative voter these press briefings by Mr Ford and statues in background have accomplished one thing; from now on I vote for the Rhinoceros Party !
