I’m not going to tag her here because I don’t trust you Twitter, but one of my colleagues who I love deeply got some disgusting racist slog in her inbox and it’s not the first time. These trolls putting down the few JOC who are killing it out here, please sit down and shut up
It’s not enough for us to call this out. I’m going to follow up with my newsroom managers about creating more opportunities and support for JOC in our company and find out what financial or other support CJOC needs cjoc.net
I just donated to the Media Girlfriends scholarship and you can too. They’re so close to their goal: gofundme.com/f/mediagirlfri…
(Thanks to @SadiyaAnsari for taking the time to tell me where I could direct some funds towards deserving future colleagues)

I’m on my way to Adamson BBQ in Etobicoke where owner Adam Skelly — making false claims about the severity of this pandemic — has vowed to open for inside dining at 11AM. The head of by-law enforcement for the city tells me they are aware of the Instagram post and plan to attend Image
This will be a test for city by-law with lockdown measures in place as of Monday. Those rules were imposed by the province and supported by local officials. It’s up to MLS, TPH and TPS to enforce those rules.
The comments on that post are a mix of support/vows to line up and critics recommending the very delicious Cherry St. and Beach Hill alternatives/asking to cancel pre-orders

I know there's a lot going on, but here's something really worth taking a second to think about (It's about this: thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…)
The province, Ford & cabinet, are responsible for the well-being of Ontario's residents. They ultimately call the shots. Dr. Eileen de Villa and other local medical officers of health can do a lot. But as de Villa mentioned today, only the province can lead a coordinated approach
That's what they did when they introduced their re-opening framework. Trouble is, the thresholds, public health experts agree, were far too lax. Thanks to @jyangstar & @katecallen and only because of their excellent reporting we know Ford ignored advice given on those thresholds

Board members are currently questioning Toronto's medical officer of health about why advice given and received at a provincial table is secret.
De Villa says additional measures are required in Toronto, following on Tory's statement this morning. She says this would be more efficient if applied similarly across the region thestar.com/news/city_hall…
Coun. @joe_cressy, who chairs the city's board of health, is moving that province make public the advice received by cabinet from public health officials

The city's press conference will start at 4PM. I'll be tweeting here. You can watch live here:
As @EdTubb noted, Toronto is approaching >100 weekly average cases per 100,000 people. Those numbers are still headed in the wrong direction a week after Ford announced Toronto would enter "orange" category of new framework. We've been in a holding pattern waiting for local input
That latest metric could qualify Toronto for the "red" category of the province's re-opening framework but their slide deck tells me they consider previous two weeks of information. In any event, we'll hear city's take soon. Officials have been tight-lipped about what to expect Image

Strange these days to see the mayor with the premier (via @CP24). My quick scan says last time they were together publicly was in August and only one other time during this pandemic Image
Ford is re-announcing budget plan of allowing municipal property tax reductions for small businesses. We're not expecting details on Toronto's re-opening plan from this North York presser, but I suspect my Queen's Park colleagues will pepper them with questions about it
I have been corrected - Ford and Tory were together at a testing site in Rexdale earlier this month

We're expecting to hear from city officials today on their preferred re-opening plan ahead of Saturday's deadline. The A+ duo of @katecallen & @jyangstar took a close look at where Toronto is at after 28 days. A very important read as we await that update: thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…
Important things to know: Toronto is currently in a "modified stage 2" under old system of provincial restrictions. That means, as you're currently experiencing, no indoor dining or gyms + other measures
Under province's new provincial framework, which rolled out elsewhere this past weekend, Toronto would have technically been in the "orange" or "restrict" category that would allow:

✅ 50 people dining indoors (at tables of 4 max)
✅ 50-person indoor gym classes
