Description
December 22, 2020
Ontario Premier Doug Ford was asked Tuesday for his response to Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson's comments regarding the provincewide shutdown during the COVID-19 pandemic. "I have to remind everyone in Ottawa, you're in the orange-restrict level, you're aren't in yellow, you aren't in green. And just imagine if I said 'okay, let's open up Ottawa, and forget everyone else,' two-fold, people are going to flock to Ottawa."
