Doug Ford refuses to make COVID-19 vaccines mandatory for Ontario's hospital workers
He said the "small number" of COVID-19 outbreaks in Ontario hospitals is not worth enforcing a provincial vaccine policy. Six of Ontario's 141 hospital are currently experiencing a COVID-19 outbreak Health Minister Christine Elliott took questions from reporters after Ford's announcment. She said while "this is the right decision for right now," the province is open to re-evaluating if more outbreaks occur. Elliott said that if Ontario was to implement a mandatory vaccine policy there would be "significant job losses." Liberal Leader Steven Del Duca said Wednesday that this decision means Ford has "chosen anti-vaxxers over cancer patients." "He's putting our most vulnerable patients in harm's way because he's scared that the Conservative anti-vax community won’t support his re-election otherwise," Del Duca said in a tweet. "He should be ashamed. NDP Leader Andrea Horwath also said Ford is "catering to anti-vaxxers" by making this decision."Unvaccinated staff should not be allowed in the ICU, in pediatric wards with sick babies, in the homes of vulnerable home care patients, or anywhere at all in health care, or in our children’s schools," Horwath said. The Ontario Hospital Association (OHA) also expressed their disappointment over Ford's announcement, saying the province "can't afford to let its guard down.""There's a strong consensus among Ontario's hospitals for a provincial policy requiring health-care workers to be fully vaccinated," a statement from the OHA said.
According to the OHA, 120 out of the 141 hospitals agreed to a mandatory vaccine policy.The OHA said health-care workers are already required to be vaccinated against 17 different conditions, including measles, rubella and tuberculosis.

Students in Ontario will not require COVID-19 vaccination to attend schools
The provincial government says it won’t be adding COVID-19 vaccinations to the list of immunizations students are required to have to attend schools.But the province’s top doctor says he’ll be exercising caution when it comes to lifting public health measures in schools.Dr. Kieran Moore says the province will look at the trends and the – quote – “ongoing threat” of COVID-19.If the virus is an ongoing threat, Moore says the government will then review the integration of COVID-19 vaccination status into the law. Ontario’s health minister says a plan is coming next week about third COVID-19 vaccine doses for residents.Christine Elliott said on Twitter Friday that the plan will involve timing for third shots, with information “for all Ontarians.”Her comments came after the National Advisory Committee on Immunization issued new guidance to provinces and territories about who should be eligible for boosters.The committee now recommends third shots for people fully vaccinated with the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine, people over age 70, more front-line health-care workers, and people from Indigenous communities. Ontario is reporting 419 new COVID-19 cases and no new deaths from the virus.The case numbers are based on 29,592 completed tests.Elliott says 279 cases are in people not fully vaccinated or with unknown vaccination status.She says 140 cases are in fully vaccinated people.There are 130 people in intensive care with COVID-related critical illness including 89 people on ventilators.The Rest of the News
Man shot in police incident was gunsmith, neighbour says
OPP & TPS executed a firearms search Toronto is 142km away SIU spokesperson Kristy Denette said the interaction involved members of the Toronto police service. She said the Norfolk OPP were not involved. Fraser Pringle lives a couple doors down from the Kotanko residence. He and Kotanko have known each other for years, Pringle said.“They shot a gunsmith,” Pringle said Thursday. “You have to put that in there. He has guns because he’s a gunsmith. He had a customer with him too. That’s what Rodger has always done. He was a gunsmith. He kept to himself. He was harmless.”
Veterans Affairs staff overwhelmed by number of vets assigned to them
This past June, Marie-Paule Doucette was asked if she felt she had enough time to help Lionel Desmond in the months leading up to Jan. 3, 2017 -- the evening the Afghan war veteran shot and killed his wife, daughter and mother before turning the gun on himself.The question came near the end of two days of testimony before the Nova Scotia inquiry examining the circumstances surrounding the tragic event. Throughout, Doucette had laid out the many challenges she faced as a case manager at Veterans Affairs Canada.In particular, Doucette had shared a long-standing source of frustration and concern for veterans and their advocates, an issue Ottawa has repeatedly promised -- and even now failed -- to address: the sheer number of veterans assigned to case managers "This is not me dismissing Lionel Desmond or his problems, but he is one of anywhere from 35 to 40 people needing co-ordinated services," Doucette told the inquiry. "I understand when you say things like: `Could you be more proactive?' Of course I could, if I had 10 people on my caseload." Case managers help veterans with severe disabilities develop plans for their successful re-entry into civilian life after veterans leave the military for medical reasons. They are responsible for co-ordinating the different medical and financial resources needed for that transition. In 2018, a parliamentary committee found veterans without case managers had a harder time understanding what support is available. When they were first elected to power in 2015, the Liberals promised case managers would not be assigned more than 25 ill and injured veterans. The pledge came after deep cuts by Stephen Harper's Conservative government had seen the ratio skyrocket to a high of 40 to one.The Liberals have doubled the number of case managers, but Veterans Affairs says they still, on average, have 33 veterans assigned to each of them. Virginia Vaillancourt, national president of the Union of Veterans' Affairs Employees, says many have even more than that. This past summer, the union surveyed those case managers about their workloads. The result: While a fraction reported having 25 or fewer veterans assigned to them, the majority had more than 35. Some had more than 50. Meanwhile, an internal review released in 2019 found case managers spent more time filling out paperwork than helping veterans directly. The same report found most veterans saw significant improvements in their physical and mental health when they had case managers.
Ontario announces plan for staycation tax credit and here's how it works
The Ontario government has announced its plan for a staycation tax credit.Anyone planning a getaway within the province in the 2022 tax year could be eligible under the new "Ontario Staycation Tax Credit" program.The program was announced as part of the Ford government's Fall Economic Statement, which was tabled on Thursday. Ontarians would get a 20 per cent personal income tax credit on eligible accommodation between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, up to a maximum of $1,000 for an individual and $2,000 for a family, for a maximum credit of $200 or $400 respectively. Ontario residents could apply for this refundable credit when they file their 2022 personal tax returns and benefit even if they do not owe any tax. According to the government, an eligible accommodation expense would have to be: For a stay of less than a month at an eligible accommodation such as a hotel, motel, resort, lodge, bed-and-breakfast establishment, cottage or campground in Ontario For a stay between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31 of 2022 Incurred for leisure Paid by the Ontario tax filer, their spouse or common-law partner, or their eligible child, as set out on a detailed receipt Not reimbursed to the tax filer, their spouse or common-law partner, or their eligible child, by any person, including by a friend or an employer Subject to Goods and Services Tax (GST)/Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), as set out on a detailed receipt. The government said this tax credit will help the tourism and hospitality sectors recover and encourage Ontarians to explore the province. The credit would provide an estimated $270 million to support over one-and-a-half million families to further discover Ontario, the government said. Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath said Thursday she believes the staycation credit won't help families and says it should have been a full $1,000 refund on costs spent on a vacation in the province. "This thing that is in the update today - about $200 is what it comes out to - that's really not going to help families a great deal," Horwath said. "That's why our $1,000 tax credit idea might be helpful to some families who normally would have taken that vacation right now."Book Club
