After Premier Doug Ford declared a state of emergency, hundreds of Ontarians took part in the freedom convoy protest in Toronto this weekend.
True North’s Harrison Faulkner attended the protest to get their thoughts on the Ontario government’s decision.

An ‘Equity and Inclusion Officer’ at the Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) has claimed that history is paved with “white-led violence almost always in the name of freedom.”
Teneile Warren made the statement on Friday over Twitter. It was made from behind a protected account but was shown to True North by an anonymous source.
“WPs are scared right now. History is paved with white-led violence almost always in the name of “freedom”. WPs built a system on the narrative that these acts of violence were well intentioned & necessary. The system is (sic) never stops it because this is how it fuels itself,” Tweeted Warren.
When Greg Mitchell of Ottawa picked up his grandmother from University Hospital in London, Ont., last week, he says he was surprised to find her in her wheelchair wearing only a blue hospital gown, with the temperature –10 C.
“They sent home her clothing in a bag,” said Mitchell about the 95-year-old, who has dementia.
“When the porter dropped her off to me outside, she said something to the effect that, ‘She’s a handful, and she’s not happy and she’s all yours now.'”
At a press conference Tuesday, Del Duca declared that it wasn’t “time to be weak” and for the unvaccinated to be barred from more establishments.
When asked if a mask mandate will be lifted, Ford said he couldn’t say that it will be anytime soon.

Ontario is the first province in Canada to update its COVID-19 reporting system to better distinguish patients hospitalized because of the virus from those who tested positive for it after coming to hospital for other reasons.

Elections Ontario will not be requesting people show vaccine passports when they cast their ballots, despite the claim of an Ontario People’s Party of Canada (PPC) candidate.
Former Ontario Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne has belatedly acknowledged one of her biggest mistakes was her failure to listen to warnings about how her government’s green energy policies would increase the cost of electricity.
Unfortunately, it comes too late to do the people of Ontario any good.
Maxime Bernier called out the fact that shuttering all places in Ontario, which only allowed those with the COVID jabs access to them, shows vaccine passports are a failure.
People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier did not mince words after the Ontario Divisional Court ruled the province’s Math Proficiency Test for teachers unconstitutional.
Race trumps knowledge when it comes to training new teachers, an Ontario court has determined. It’s a decision that defies common sense and places teachers’ rights ahead of students’ needs.
Infection Control Epidemiologist, Dr. Colin Furness, is calling on Toronto Public Health to defy the province and close schools until January 24th to prevent a potential surge of unvaccinated children being hospitalized.
After being AWOL since before the holiday break, Ontario Premier Doug Ford emerged on Dec. 28 to let everyone know a decision might be made soonish. That is nowhere near good enough. The return to school, at least in the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, is Jan. 3. People needed time to get organized, and prepare mentally for whatever would be coming, even if we didn’t know all the details of what that was. We have enough stress dealing with the stuff we know about, there is no excuse to add to the anxiety by leaving millions of us, including the kids, to spin our wheels.
