TORONTO -- Premier Doug Ford's office says the government is drafting legislation that would remove employers' ability to require sick notes for people in self-isolation or quarantine.
Shortly after coming to office in 2018, Ford's government repealed labour legislation introduced by the previous government that gave workers two paid sick days a year and banned the practice of requiring sick notes. "We will work to ensure there is a plan to support vulnerable people and vital services like shelters, and ensure no one is left behind when it comes to having the groceries and medications they need -- including seniors and those on and ."
The Ontario legislature had been set to take a week off for March break. As public gatherings were limited to help curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, all parties passed a motion that would allow for the suspension of the legislature after that week if need be.
Raise your hand if you think it’s going to be a tax cut for rich people.
This is NOT good enough👏🏼

MEEKSVS The face of CORRUPTION. Ignore the acts of fraud against so many. How deep is the Web in 'For Profit Only'? A pandemic in a HomelessCrisis, poverty & loss. Isn't it time to be a Leader? fordnation OntarioNDP NO affordable housing?

Surely he'd rather be slicing & dicing up healthcare...why he looks like a child pouting, not getting his way! 💩👎
The crayon eating shitclown in charge is undoing what hew did. Fucking get it right you cum-covered shitslaves
Protected sick leave for all? I don't why for some odd reason that sounds vaguely familiar?
fordnation no one believes you! Voted you in but you put it to Ontarian’s rethinking this but Liberals were not doing their job. But YOU aren’t either! Make good choices for Ontario! Duhhhhhhhh
Watch all the Liberals call it a bad thing. God they're so stupid, hateful and unCanadian.
Okay, but what about all of the parents that NEED to work that now can’t because all schools and daycares are closed...
What dictator Ford no more great advice like u gave for people to go out of the country on spring break a day or two before you cancelled school for 2 weeks.
Well god bless his rotten sox, isn’t he special 😜
I don't think so... He cancelled paid sick days, he's done his best to gut Ohip and introduce for profit healthcare... He's just going to make things worse because he is incompetent.
