I've had some time since this thread was first posted and I've thought about the title, "anyone else listening to Doug Ford?" I'm NOT going to get into the debate over whether any of this is constitutional or not. This isn't the place for that debate. But I will agree that on all levels, government has dropped the ball and failed us, in no small part because they insist on playing the game of pass the buck instead of accepting the responsibility for their failures.
But when I thought about the title of this thread, I found myself wondering, has anyone ever really been listening to him at all? I know it's asking a lot and I am by no means a fan of ole Doug, but maybe if more people had listened to him throughout all of this, maybe we wouldn't be where we find ourselves again, which is back where we were last year at this time.
When I don't over think it, all that was announced yesterday is.............. the already in place stay at home order has been extended an extra two weeks from when it was first issued this time, meaning we're already a week into it, so there's only 5 more weeks of it to go providing they don't extend it again. Instead of lifting it on May 6, they're now projecting to lift it May 20, just before the long weekend.
The other thing they announced was they're giving law enforcement more authority to enforce the stay at home order IF necessary, which by all accounts so far, most law enforcement has indicated they will proceed as they have been, enforcing ONLY when necessary. Everything else stays the same. Wear a mask, 6ft apart etc etc...
