Ontario will go into a four-week, provincewide shutdown on Saturday as the government pulls its “emergency brake” in an effort to curb the spread of COVID-19 variants.
Premier Doug Ford announced on Thursday afternoon that the shutdown will begin on April 3. As a result, in-person dining will be shuttered yet again and further gathering restrictions will go into effect across Ontario

The true definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
SO TRUE, lockdowns DON’T WORK. PERIOD.
@TrEverEvoy i though that was misaytributed to him. I don’t believe he said that
@Eyad nice 2021 dictionary
@Jam Jam Think you’re right. He also didn’t say “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours you think it’s only a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute you think it’s two hours. That’s relativity.” And I always really liked that one
virus doesn’t really care about quotes though, but hey you know what lets open everything up because that worked? lol.
This is never going to end. It’s not just on you buddy it’s called democracy for a reason
Yep. What we have today is dictatorship.
Nah this is more of a government that has no idea what to do at all. Is also at a pretty vulnerable situation to be taken over by other countries
LOL or we just do it ourselves
@Cosmo Ray relax
My friends folks. April is drunk and so we all must go home immediately and lockdown for one month until she is sober. 😆😆😆
YOU ARE THE DANGEROUS VARIANT THAT BELONGS IN INTENSIVE CARE!!!
@Timothy Manukian haaaaaaa!
@Timothy Manukian 😂😂
You think the other parties would be handling this better?
I’m not defending him, just pointing out the system is the problem, not just Ford.
@Isaac Griffin absolutely!!!! Nevermind ‘defund the police’…..we should defund politics!!!!!
The blue print to this shows Gates and WHO knew about this…Ford didn’t know anything
i love how he calls this making a tough decision like you have done made this “tough decision” 3 times now
A tough decision for Doug is a choice between chocolate and ice cream cake
Plus he got a raise today
@Greig Blair bullsh*t
Yes and he has no choice but to do this. He opened too quickly the last time.
Tell your family at the cottage I said hello this Easter, Doug
Make extra cheesecake 👍
He has more than enough to eat at home😆
@BlueBerry As of today right? At least that’s what I heard on newstalk 1010, interesting station, that’s where I heard about all the government workers taking full paid leave among other things
@Israel B yes today !
@Samiul that’s not because of covid, that’s because of the government lockdowns.
Yea but i still have to go to work… I get to see my co workers more than my family
Reality police here, stop be logical !
Not to worry , you’ll be in the same cattle cars soon …. !
@john galt I hope I get a window seat
Only if your a fool and dont go and see your friends.
@marksooo thats what im thinking too
this is like opening the fridge over and over again, expecting different contents.
Where is my violin? 🙄
😂🤣😂🤣
@Laura Hammond wow.i was concerned also about that.i havnt had a shot yet.i heard astra zenica had some weird side effects
The definition of insanity
I agree. Your posts are nothing but tiring.
can’t wait for elections at every level and see them all pack
@Hannibal Barca Your right Doug is nothing but a liberal in conservatives clothes and he is as inept and crooked as they get.
@Winter Fun lol imagine unironically thinking this
no more elections bro welcome to the new world order
@Tip S vote PPC and stick it to the establishment
@F Bb why would i do that? Have you not learned anything throughout your life? Better yet have you not learned anything from the past couple of years?
remember when ontario had small businessess
I remember when they “ended” the last lockdown I was saying. “Perfect, just in time to enact another harsher lockdown for Easter.”
this is LESS harsh
Any traditional occasion to gather wth friends or family is getting targetted. This is not about a virus, this is about control and abolishing Canadian values and traditions
@Cool Breezy Yup, I’ll bet this new lockdown extends into July. In order to cover Victoria Day and Canada Day.
😒😤😠😡
@Leatherman 😲😔😓😒😤😡
This is going to go on for ever
next will be climate lockdowns…..
The hell it is! get out and do your thing. No police are enforcing this, just like last time. Some opportunistic bullies may try to overstep, just put them in their place. We need to end this and we do it by not playing along.
@Ron R We need to enforce the lockdown! I agree! Start up the heavy fines for non maskers. Shut down any store that doesn’t comply, no warnings! Time to get serious and get this virus done with!
True they have power like never before and they don’t want to give it up ever😫
@Kelly Careless You guys have been locking down forever, what’s gonna change this time?
This is why they always do lockdown drills in highschool
Conveniently for easter weekend!!!! Spend spend spend!!!! The only thing waving is my 3rd finger… just a home honestly!
If only this ended with, April Fool’s.
Next month
“Today I will have to make once again, another tough decision. We will go into a province wide lock down…. the fourth wave is here”
“Today I will have to make once again, another tough decision” KFC and Wendy’s , or Domino’s and McDonald’s
yep! There will be no end to it!
@Trader Joe’s 😂🤣😂🤣😂
next year “today i will once again have to make another tough decision we will go into a province wind lock down the 15th wave is here” lol
When did we exit the 2nd wave?
In 2026 “Due to the 18th wave, we must have a four week lockdown.”
I still do not know anyone who has been sick with Covid let alone die of Covid alone!
@Laura Hammond Hopefully you don’t have to deal with someone dying from it as many others have.
@Laura Hammond
What region are you from perchance
i think don’t care about the pandemic anymore.
Make a sifi movie would be great.
LOL I love how he pretends to be so sincere, how long do we all put up with this before we start fighting back?
Recall petition?
yeah like the states and europe
Canadians fight back? 🤣
@Jack Shadow >< i guess they didnt teach you yanks about 1812 in school did they bud
@Jack Shadow we are too polite smh sometimes it backfires i guess
“We just need two weeks to beat the curve.” A year and 3 months later …
Who thought their infection would just go away without antibiotics?
Missing your loved ones for Easter? Just have your family get-together at Wal-Mart, a public school, a Golf Course, at a Church, or at a construction site. All perfectly okay apparently.
And mask up, as if that’ll help
