All they have now is trying to blame other people
I am still thinking about this: turning a pandemic you utterly botched into an attack ad campaign. Just venal stuff
What a funny bit of timing!
Smells like poll-driven desperation

Just gonna go ahead and tweet this again: the borders could be better. Blaming Ontario's third wave on the borders is a joke. thestar.com/opinion/star-c…
Same with vaccines, by the way. Not a single expert I've ever talked to agrees they could have stopped a third wave, because you can't vaccinate at an exponential rate. It was up to public health measures. Ontario trashed those, and was warned what would happen if they did.
This was real-time analysis, by the way

I wrote about NACI’s very, very bad day. thestar.com/opinion/star-c…
One thing about the risk: if there is a ton of Covid around, the risks are vastly outweighed by the benefits, and Canada, unfortunately, has a pile of premiers who let the virus run to varying degrees lately. This is a good explainer of AstraZeneca’s risks and benefits:

She took three questions
Play the hits
What a pathetic display. Pathetic. This government’s entire animating goal now is to escape and avoid blame for what it has overseen.

Doug Ford says his government took decisive action last week, which was seven weeks late
"The problem is not in our schools, it is in our community." Well, how did that happen
So, schools back to virtual after the April break. This was utterly inevitable, and comes a day the minister of education wrote a letter to parents saying schools would be open unless public health units made the call

Doug Ford said folks, try to be positive. Great, sure. Except it’s that kind of malignantly magical childlike thinking that got us here. thestar.com/opinion/star-c…
No joke: an ORNGE helicopter just flew over my house.
Here is @Megan_Ogilvie’s story on the state of things. You should read this. thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…
