Dear Editor:
An open letter to Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
I want to thank you for exercising exemplary leadership during our “war” on COVID-19. Your daily briefings are thorough, honest, detailed, accurate and treat me like a human being. Contrary to this are the daily briefings we get from the federal government which are opaque, detail is not shared, full of platitudes and treat me like an amoeba. Heaven forbid if we were at war and this lot were leading us.
We know that this plague has placed the province and the country in dire straights and that many will die. You have been very straight with us on this and for that you have my utmost respect.
Now that we know the potential consequences we can start to manage the risk at an individual level and help wherever we can. When we don’t have the detail and when we are treated like mushrooms we do not know what contribution to make.
Michael Lee,
Salem
