Ontario cases per 100k will continue to rise over the coming week.
Ontario may need to start investigating having a vaccine passport. I believe this is a good time for it.

Ford has already said he won't do it here. Not that he hasn't done the opposite of what he's said about 100 times before. So grain of salt.

I think pressure is mounting, and if there's one thing I'll say for Ford, it's that he does listen to public pressure. (It's a shame it's because he's so often making bad choices), so with continued pressure, I think it is possible to implement better policies.
Especially given the now fast growing numbers.

Apparently Doug Ford said the only way he is willing to introduce a vaccine passport system would be if the federal government mandated it. If that's true, I'm not surprised in the least bit because all he likes to do is blame the federal government for things, even though health care is primarily a provincial matter.

Doug Ford is the definition of a weak and craven premier. It's laughable to call him a leader.

Unvaccinated people make up 44% of the population but 81% of the cases. This is why we need approval for younglings and build trust with others in the community so those already eligible get their shot.

Those are pretty good.
They certainly are inconvenient for those who are unable to take a complex view of the world...where everything is black or white. And it seems those are the only people who have a problem with vaccine passports.
