Ontario Premier Doug Ford delivered a statement on Sunday at Queen’s Park in Toronto, imploring people in the province to get tested for COVID-19 and continue to practice social distancing in order to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus.
As well, the premier and city officials in Toronto are condemning the “dangerous” behaviour of people who flooded Trinity Bellwoods park on Saturday afternoon. Officials said this could lead to a surge in COVID-19 cases. Numerous photos shared across social media platforms depict hordes of people lounging in the park, apparently disregarding physical distancing regulations.
Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau tells Mercedes Stephenson his government will not be raising taxes to make up for the billions spent to help workers, seniors, students and businesses get through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Quebec Premier François Legault announced on Thursday that summer day camps for children will reopen on June 22 amid the coronavirus pandemic, with added safety measures, including smaller groups and social distancing.
Legault met with Laval Mayor Marc Demers in the morning before providing an update on the province’s response to the ongoing health crisis.
With the reopening of camps only one month away, the premier said the challenge that lies ahead is the need for more counsellors to work at the camps. He asked young adults and teenagers to sign up for the open positions.
U.S. President Donald Trump visited the Ford Rawsonville Components Plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan on Thursday and met with African-American leaders as part of his tour in the facility.
The visit came a day after Trump threatened to withhold federal funds over the state’s expanded vote-by-mail effort.
“We don’t want them to do mail in ballots because it’s going to lead to total election fraud,” Trump said, allowing for some exceptions including himself “Now, if somebody has to mail it in because they’re sick, or by the way because they live in the White House and they have to vote in Florida and they won’t be in Florida. But there’s a reason for it, that’s OK.”
Alberta’s chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw provided an update on the most recent numbers of COVID-19 cases in the province Thursday and the government’s ongoing response to the pandemic.

Fifty-nine Albertans were in hospital as of Thursday, six of whom were in intensive care units. More than 4,000 lab tests were done in the last 24 hours.
Ontario’s chief medical officer of health Dr. David Williams is expected to provide an update Thursday on the latest COVID-19 cases in the province and discuss the public health agency’s ongoing response to the pandemic.
Ontario reported 390 new cases of the novel coronavirus on Wednesday, bringing the provincial total to 23,774.
The death toll has risen to 1,962 as 43 more deaths were reported.
According to health officials, 18,190 people have recovered from COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, which is 76 per cent of cases.
The rapidly spreading coronavirus outbreak continues to upend life around the world. The Post’s Libby Casey reports on the Trump administration’s push to reopen the economy, overriding concerns from public health officials. What can Americans do to protect their families and their businesses? Casey will talk about the disparity in death rates, the competing plans in how to protect public health and who is getting help from the government’s stimulus programs with reporters Tony Romm, Griff Witte, James Hohmann, Tracy Jan and Jeff Stein.
Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante and regional public health director Mylène Drouin provide an update on Thursday on the city’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The mayor announced new measures that will be put in place to support Montreal merchants as they reopen businesses on Monday, May 25th.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford, joined by Deputy Premier and Health Minister Christine Elliott and Training, Colleges and Universities Minister Ross Romano, held a briefing on Thursday on the province’s ongoing COVID-19 measures.
Ford said it was “frustrating” to see testing in Ontario lag behind other provinces, but said he’s asked his team to come up with a plan for random testing by next week, saying he wants to see testing expand into more industries including food processing, trucking and automotive professions. He added that he feels that the province needs to test more people, not just those experiencing symptoms.
More than 5 million COVID-19 cases have been reported worldwide, with the U.S., Russia and Brazil reporting the highest numbers. As Eric Sorensen explains, a pattern is emerging between the world’s worst outbreaks… and leaders who downplayed the severity of the crisis when it first arose.
