Ontario Premier Doug Ford booted a member of his own caucus Friday for speaking out publicly against the province’s latest lockdown.
York Centre MPP Roman Baber released a letter he sent to Ford titled “the lockdown is deadlier than COVID.”
Ford responded by evicting Baber from the PC caucus, forcing him to sit as an independent or join another party, and refusing him the opportunity to run again as a PC candidate.
The Premier accused Baber of putting people at risk by spreading misinformation and undermining the efforts of frontline healthcare workers.

“I will not jeopardize a single Ontarian’s life by ignoring public health advice,” Ford said in a statement. “There is no room for political ideology in our fight against COVID-19. Rather, our response has been and will always be driven by evidence and data.”

Jack’s Note: Fired for having the courage to tell it like it is. In the final analysis Ford, who is completely brain dead (and a dictator to boot), probably did Baber a favour. I wouldn’t work for that stupid SOB for ten seconds. He is unworthy of the post he occupies and every time he opens his mouth he proves it.
