Ontario Premier Doug Ford sheds tears for the businesses that might be closed if a shutdown of the bars, pubs and restaurants was enacted.

Better he should hang his head in shame and grief for the extra victims of the virus that will occur because of his inaction

Yes, some business would tragically be closed, but those affected would still be alive and supported by the government as necessary.

Come on Mr. Ford. Get your ethics straight and do your duty to your citizens. Close the hot spots and save lives.

Ken Hammond
