Policing the Police State
Every single Ontario municipal police force told the provincial government they would not be conducting random stops of citizens to enforce the province’s stay-at-home order, forcing the province to walk back its directive to police.

Ontario’s Doctors say pandemic wake up call needed – calling for stay-at-home order, closure of non-essential businesses, paid sick leave and increased vaccinations.
Ontario’s doctors are concerned that we are entering the worst phase of the pandemic since last spring and urge everyone – all levels of government and every Ontarian – to take the warning seriously and do what they can to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Given the sobering new statistics being released every day – each one representing a person, with worried family and friends – the Ontario Medical Association is calling for five urgent actions:
- a government stay-at-home order, meaning people leave their homes only for essential business such as medical appointments, grocery shopping and outdoor exercise
- closure of all non-essential businesses, although curbside pickup should remain an option
- immunization of all essential workers and disadvantaged workers, and residents of hotspots
- paid sick leave for essential workers
- every Ontarian should take the first vaccination offered to them
