I am raging mad that the lockdown was deferred until Boxing Day.
Seeing this act of pure political cowardice, 9 months of pent up anxiety, stress, and worry have given way to raw anger.
In the past 9 months, I have missed countless important Jewish holidays. https://twitter.com/fordnation/status/1341147083210977280

On passover, I didn't see my family for the seder meals - despite this being one of the most important gatherings of the year.
On Yom Kippur, when we are meant to stand before G-d in synagogue and pray for our souls, I watched on zoom alone.

On channukah, we made latkes for 2 and lit channukah candles virtually.
I could go on and on.
How many birthdays, graduations, promotions, milestones didn't we celebrate in the way that they deserved to be celebrated?

I haven't hugged my parents since February!
And I am lucky.
Some people no longer have parents to hug.

So @fordnation and @celliottability and the other cowards at Queen's park say: 'Lives are at stake right now! We must take action now...But don't worry we won't spoil Christmas."
It's this cowardly, wishy-washy, hand-wringing nonsense that is going to cost Ontarians their lives.

I hope desperately that the people of Ontario have more sense and decency than our elected leaders.
Please, PLEASE don't gather on Christmas. Trust me when I say I know how hard it is to spend holidays apart from your loved ones.

Today's announcement was a big "F*ck you" to Ontarians from non-Christian faiths who have been the right thing all year.
And to all my Christian friends planning to do the right thing despite @fordnation's gross incompetence: Thank you so much.
