1/Well this is embarrassing @JimWatsonOttawa @VeraEtches @OttawaHealth. Imagine implementing something as uncomfortable and intrusive as being forced to breathe through fabric & having your face cancelled without any backing science, data or assessment of risk.

2/You say this was a decision made by the province of ON. A quick reminder that the province wanted to stay out of mask mandates originally. cp24.com/mobile/news/on…

3/It was the municipalities that launched the mask mandates following lobbying efforts by #masks4Canada and #masks4municipalities. Ottawa was a charter member in the forced masking club. "Increasing scientific evidence supports"😂ottawa.ctvnews.ca/masks-mandator…

4/@VeraEtches added section 22 orders beyond prov req'r for masking around outdoor amenities both in the winter & the spring, clearly without any evidence of effectiveness or evaluation of risks such as the effects from exercising outdoors with a mask on.

5/Here is the "increasing scientific evidence" that was presented to the rubber-stamping Ottawa city clowncilors last summer to justify forced masking. "Sure looks like a graph, approved!"

6/OPH stated that they were following the advice of @CDCgov @WHO on masks. Studies cited on their websites include "the two hairdressers story", "laboratory mannequins w/ taped down masks" & @jeremyphoward's bunk, ignoring decades of pre-2020 mask studies.

7/Since that time @ONTatwork has stated that cloth masks are non-protective as PPE (though they still require them?), & we know from the massive Wuhan Nature Magazine study (and the Fauci emails) that asymptomatic transmission is a nothing burger.

8/As was shown in the FOI Fauci emails, @OttawaHealth had the correct science on masks in the beginning too (before the politicisation of the C19 response). capitalcurrent.ca/face-mask-no-d…

9/ON and Ottawa have failed to analyse the real-world data since mask mandates infected the western world last year. Clearly, masks did absolutely nothing to mitigate the spread of C19 in the community. At least many US jurisdictions have come to their senses.

10/As we enter into a heat wave, I see many Ottawa workers & residents outside in masks needlessly. If @OttawaHealth cared about public health & city workers, they would immediately address well-known low risk of outdoor transmission & recommend dropping outdoor mask wearing

11/Indoor masks are currently under the scope of prov. regulations. FOIs are coming for @OntarioHealthOH & @ONTatwork who are more interested in politics than the H & S of ON workers. Of course @CBCOttawa @ctvottawa @OttawaCitizen have no interest in telling you the truth.

12/Thanks to @coachmiketweets @GovGone for submitting these FOIs and others. I encourage all to take the time to submit FOIs to hold gov't to account for their baseless and harmful decisions surrounding C19. The mainstream media certainly won't do it.
#masksoff

13/Addendum: Unsurprisingly @fordnation @celliottability @Sflecce haven't done due diligence on all-day masking of kids at school either. They're clearly out of step with proportionality requirements in emerg charter exceptions. Lawyers, start your engines
