insauga- OPINION: It’s time for Doug Ford to stop deflecting and work towards reopening Brampton, Mississauga and Ontario

By: Ashley Newport

Citing a Public Health Ontario report, Dr. Nathan Stall, Associate Fellow at the NIA, called Ford's hyperfocus on the border "a distraction." 

"[Doug Ford] continues to assert that tightening federal borders will help drive Ontario’s case counts down much faster. In the last week, just 318 of 25,001 (1.3 per cent) of COVID19 cases in Ontario were travel-related," Stall said in a tweet. 

"This is nothing but a distraction."
