I was removed from the Ontario PC Party caucus. It's a regretful decision since many colleagues agree with me, incl Doug Ford in large part. I don't regret speaking out for millions of lives & livelihoods decimated by Public Health, I serve the public. 1/2 #onpoli.
The Lockdown is grounded in false public health narrative, poor planning & bad data. While Doug only cares about re-election, Lockdowns are killing more than saving. I couldn't watch the suffering anymore. I hope I encouraged other professionals to speak out. #onpoli
Calls and texts to Kids Help Phone have surged by 300% in the wake of COVID-19 lockdowns. Today is #BlueMonday, and if you or someone you know is struggling, check out these free mental health resources from Jack.org: ow.ly/Q5Fh50DbjVD.
Can you hear the change in tone? Since my letter to Doug, Ontarians gained confidence to speak against the Lockdown. More Doctors & Educators are speaking out. We must seize this moment & unite. Pls sign my petition to #LiftTheLockdown at RomanBaber.ca

(1/2) The arrest & suicide of Moses Demian was referenced in my Letter to Doug Ford. Known to be kind & professional, the TPS is now misdirected by politicians. The Government is criminalizing normal human behaviour & putting law abiding Ontarians in legal jeopardy. #onpoli
💬"Millions of people took seriously a communications campaign, apparently designed by behavioural psychologists, to bully, to shame, & to terrify them into compliance with minute restrictions..."
🚫Fear & shame was weaponised during the pandemic: no Govt can ever do this again
Yes, COVID is on par with Flu in terms of risk to kids, but more to the point, the amount of restrictions we placed on children is in no way whatsoever commensurate with their risk of COVID. We restructured their entire lives, and deprived them of a year of education. Horrible
In school, we used to try and derail class by asking the teachers questions like, "Do you have a boyfriend?" They never indulged these questions. They said "My private life is none of your business."
That was the correct response. Bring it back.
As we continue restoration, more downed lines and poles are being discovered. We know it’s difficult being without electricity. In order to get power to individual homes, our crews have to repair and energize the major infrastructure first, which then feeds into local areas.
