I misunderstood and that I largely agree with.
Think dine can remain in areas with limited cases.
I thought people calling for lockdown 1 again which I think would be a disaster on its own

No early election in Ontario? Liberals want Premier Doug Ford to prove it
In a bid to determine whether Premier Doug Ford is bluffing about the timing of the next provincial election, Ontario's Liberal party will test the government's commitment to the June 2022 vote.

Perhaps . . . where the number warrant. Seventeen Health Units are reporting per-week case totals in the single digits and three are reporting zero for the week Sep 13-19.

Issue in quebec and ontario is different.
So just because quebec went into lockdown does not mean ontario needs to follow right away.
Maybe we can take steps to avoid a full shutdown.

^ For one, they mandated full return for elementary and secondary schools (no distance learning).

Students are also not required to wear masks in Quebec classrooms, only in common areas (halls).
Quebec is getting set to close its borders to interprovincial travel again according to an Ontario family member who has property there.

Ontario's 'dog's breakfast of guidance' around COVID-19 sowing confusion, distrust, some experts say
Friday's news conference contradicted earlier directive to restrict contact to own household
Oct 2, 2020
The Ontario government's confusing and contradictory information about how people should act amid the COVID-19 pandemic is leading to some public distrust of the province's advice, several experts say.
The more precise and concise messaging at the start of the pandemic has become increasingly convoluted, they say, leaving some people frustrated as cases surge.
"It seems like they're making it up as they go," said Laura Babcock, owner of the communications firm Powergroup Communications.
That seemed to be the case at Friday's provincial COVID-19 news conference, when reporters repeatedly asked if families should gather for Thanksgiving next weekend.
The press conference came just as the province issued a news release saying that it is "pausing social circles" and advising Ontarians to "allow close contact only with people living in their own household."
Instead of echoing that advice, Premier Doug Ford, Health Minister Christine Elliott and other health officials all gave responses that seemed to contradict it.

Money is more important than the people in Ontario's lives for Doug Ford.
Many experts advised Ontario for months to boost COVID testing capacity. Sources say they just didn’t want to spend the money

I hope Ford acts before it to late in the GTA and Ottawa.
