Premier @fordnation is about to do an interview with @570NEWS (he was not in the House today for QP but has his daily avail at 1pm) #onpoli
Asked about rising case #s, Ford says his government has a "good solid plan," says healthcare/hospitals are ready (@AnthonyDaleOHA and others have expressed concern for rising numbers) #onpoli
Ford reiterates cases are not coming from bars and restaurants, it's parties - says in some cases it is allowed, but not worth it right now
Ford is asked about gathering limits, but his answer focuses on federal quarantine rules. (He doesn't make the link, so does that mean gatherings are among those who have returned to Canada and not quarantined properly?)
Ford says he's concerned about young people going to colleges/universities - right now can't have big parties. Says he feels like Premier Dad, or in some cases Premier Granddad (I have a feeling we will hear this a lot)
On education, Ford says his govt has provided funding, the q is did boards go out and hire enough teachers. "I encourage them, go out and hire teachers"
Ford ends with a shout-out to the host.
