MPP @solmamakwa says Premier @fordnation called him before 3pm today and "apologized for attacking me personally during Question period yesterday."
Says he appreciated the call but, "It's not me he needs to apologize to but it's indigenous people across Ontario." #onpoli
Mamakwa says the call lasted about 90 seconds, says the Premier told him he felt Mamakwa was "going after him" by asking about the government's plan for vaccinating urban indigenous adults. Says Premier Ford invited him to his office when the House resumes. #onpoli

On criticisms of Toronto's slow pace to reopen, Mayor @JohnTory says health crisis in TO more acute than other places, diff in pop/density/socio econ factors - "To my detractors and critics ... you just have to satisfy yourself based on the best expert advice you can get."
Says he's really sympathetic to toll on businesses, but wouldn't want to reopen too quickly only to close again. "They would not thank any of us if had moved sooner than today or even today and it turned out to be a premature move...that led to a further lockdown." #onpoli
Tory: "We're accountable for the judgements that we make in the end... You stand or fall for the decisions that you make."
