| Roman Babar MPP “Says Lift All Public Health Restrictions!”| |
| The imposition of continuing public health measures on all Ontario Regions has no rhyme or reason. If Ontario remained in the coloured framework, then almost every Ontario region would be in Green or Yellow. Despite that, Ontario maintains the longest and harshest lockdown in the world. Although our neighbours to the south are almost fully open with tens of thousands packing large stadiums, Ontarians are still precluded from dining indoors or getting a haircut. Despite meeting its own arbitrary targets for Phase 2, Doug Ford is unwilling to move up the re-opening. Even more upsetting is that Ontario’s Reopening Framework does not include a full re-opening. Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan include the lifting of all public health restrictions in their final opening phases. But Ontario has no plans to lift all public health restrictions. This, I submit to you, is the next frontier in our fight and advocacy against the lockdowns. We must have confidence to insist not only on a full reopening but also on the lifting of all public health restrictions. Keep talking to your friends and neighbours, engage on social media and pressure your MPP to Open Ontario. I am concerned by the erosion of Constitutional Rights in Canada and Ontario. Over the course of a few weeks we have witnessed the Federal Government proceed with a vaccine passport, thereby creating two tiers of Canadians; proceed with Bill-C10 at Committee, by which the Federal Government will regulate online content; the extension of Ontario’s Emergency Orders to December; and, the use of the Notwithstanding Clause for the first time in Ontario’s history, on legislation that could potentially benefit the Provincial Government. As difficult as times appear to be, we must continue to organize and mount an effective opposition and peaceful resistance against government and public health overreach. Fellow Canadians are counting on us to advocate for their freedoms and defend against the erosion of Canada’s democracy. We are still awaiting a decision from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in our Application against the Attorney General in defence of our Assembly and Religious Rights outdoors. We will provide an update as soon as a decision is released. We are in process of conceiving additional litigation, as the Rule of Law sits at the core of our democracy. Wishing you and your loved ones a peaceful and restful weekend. Yours very truly, Roman Baber |
