Elected members of provincial parliament will be removed from Ontario’s governing Progressive Conservative caucus if they don’t get vaccinated against COVID-19.
A spokeswoman for Premier Doug Ford is confirming to The Canadian Press that MPPs have been directed to take the shots in order to stay in caucus.
Ivana Yelich says it’s the government’s expectation “that every single PC caucus member and candidate be vaccinated” given that their work requires daily interaction with the public.
Yelich didn’t give a date by which members are expected to be vaccinated.
Ford has previously said he’s against mandating vaccinations because he considers it a constitutional right not to take the vaccines.
Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca called earlier on Tuesday for mandatory vaccinations for all MPPs.

Going strong for Americans since 1975…

“Klonopin is the brand name for the pill known as clonazepam, which was originally brought to market in 1975 as a medication for epileptic seizures. Since then, Klonopin, along with the other drugs in this class, has become a prescription of choice for drug abusers from Hollywood to Wall Street. In the process, these Schedule III and IV substances have also earned the dubious distinction of being second only to opioid painkillers like OxyContin as our nation’s most widely abused class of drug.”

1- Ford has removed the peoples’ elected representation.
“When pressed on the issue of free speech, Taliban spokesman points to Facebook’s and Big Tech’s censorship of Americans.”
I’m starting to get a soft spot for the Taliban: they speak the truth on this one, and only insist on half of their population wearing masks.
LOL
