@gemelliz @LexyCameron we need new legislation in #Canada at the federal and provincial level making the #CMOH Chief Medical Officer of Health a non political position like the #Auditor General, that way they are responsible to report to the legislature or house and the public.

"It is paternalistic and anti-democratic to remove the #data we have a right to as citizens, when deciding how to respond to #COVID.
Imagine if we put the energy invested in smoke & mirrors deflection into actually trying to improve the situation.

@DanFox really hope Colin #DMello pushed a follow up question about #Moore requiring masking. #media #Ford and the #CMOH all need to be held to account

@Radicalsocialworker I am so grateful that the people I trust to save our lives are here and more are coming on board. I take advise from them and not our #CMOH in Ontario.
