London is fortunate to have a proud, and vibrant Chinese community in our city. The outpouring of support we’ve seen in response, from Londoners of all backgrounds, is a testament to that. And, I believe, a far better reflection of the values this city truly represents. #ldnont
We have been in contact with LPS and the Downtown BIA to discuss the content of the sign and although the numerous messages are divisive and offensive to members of the community, they do not meet any threshold for criminal charges to be issued. #ldnont
There’ve also been allegations of members of the Asian community being refused service. The issue of the sign content (which has been changed at least three times) as well as the refusal of service allegation is actively being reviewed by LPS along with regulatory agencies.
All regulatory agencies are taking these complaints seriously and doing what they can within their legal jurisdictions. #ldnont

Today is an exceptionally difficult day for many in #LdnOnt, and across Ontario. I know so many individuals, and so many businesses have made so many sacrifices, and yet, here we are, about to enter a second Ontario-wide lockdown.
There is no real positive spin one can attempt under these circumstances. As I've said before, individuals and businesses who are not responsible for mass spread of the virus are bearing the brunt of consequences for those who are. #ldnont
That said, I have great respect, appreciation, and empathy for Premier Ford's position. It's an impossible one. We all see the numbers, both locally and provincially, and everybody can acknowledge they're going the wrong way. #ldnont

This is an extremely precarious time for our community, & we find ourselves at a cross-roads of sorts in our efforts to contain COVID19. The virus doesn’t care about all the good work we’ve done together over the last 6 months. All of that can be undone in a matter of days. (1/9)
Whether that happens is entirely up to us. A majority of people are following the rules, protecting themselves, and being considerate of others. That said, a majority simply isn’t good enough. Not during a pandemic, & especially not when we consider what’s at stake. (2/9)
We need more of us to do better. That includes a handful of students and young people, yes, but it also includes a handful of businesses, and other individuals. This is on all of us. (3/9)
