It is gross that Doug Ford is celebrating the birthday of the Chinese Communist Party by raising the flag of that dictatorship at Ontario's democratic legislature. It's a slap in the face to Chinese democracy activists and a betrayal of the Two Michaels. https://t.co/NGzxUvPSLQ

Breaking: Ontario Legislature scraps raising of the Chinese flag slated for September 30. "In light of the rising number of Covid 19 cases and recommendations by Public Health authorities … the Legislative Assembly of Ontario has decided to cancel all flag raising ceremonies."

So Ford first tries to argue he has no control over the matter. Then after outrage is immense he gets it cancelled. But nobody wants to upset China so they come up with this cheap excuse… or at least that’s sure what this looks like. https://t.co/RZyRrWXTbo

It’s unfathomable and inexcusable to see these two headlines side by side on the exact same day in Canada. #TrudeauMustGo pic.twitter.com/5kBML75NoR

No decisions yet in Ontario on Thanksgiving or Halloween.

But "timely advice" on thanksgiving will be coming shortly, according to the CMOH.

We need more nurses and personal support workers.

Nurses and PSWs had a giant impact during the first wave of COVID, standing strong while protecting the front lines. They will play a critical role in protecting our most vulnerable going into the second wave. pic.twitter.com/iOKilzhswX
