Premier Ford is asked: why aren't you getting to essential workers such as teachers earlier than mid May? Premier Ford says province needs to get to most vulnerable/elderly people first & hotspots. And then mentions factories, although these aren't specifically targeted #onpoli
Ford says Ontario made "massive move" last week by "basically shutting down entire province" - (as he mentioned, malls are open.) Then dangles further restrictions.
Premier is now admonishing people for going to the mall his government kept open. #onpoli
Ford defends his government's records on schools, says they are safe, spread is happening in communities #onpoli

Mamakwa said he'd rather see the Premier go to a fly-in community where there is a water, housing, mental health crisis #onpoli
