This provincial cabinet is losing credibility by the minute, and we should be demanding a mass resignation of most of it's members. Let's look at the evidence... (a thread)

A first minister (Premier) that delayed the lockdown to Dec 26 to "support small business" even though his command table's modelling showed the delay would result in thousands of additional infections https://twitter.com/CityNews/status/1341513904275550208?s=20
A finance minister that traveled outside of the country on December 8th for personal reasons against public health advice from all levels of government, and posted pictures showing he has not spent 14 days in quarantine post-travel https://twitter.com/meyer_lucas/status/1343950556084248577?s=20
A long-term care minister that has overseen the largest loss of life in a single location during peacetime with the outbreak at Tendercare in Scarborough. There are 41 dead, and 197 infected as of today with still no additional resources provided. https://www.cp24.com/news/staffing-shortage-continues-to-afflict-scarborough-long-term-care-home-with-outbreak-1.5246032
An education minister that after 9mo still hasn't figured out a workable plan for online learning or maintaining in-person school with a proper test-trace-isolate procedure. There are 24 schools completely closed from COVID, and over 100 with active cases https://globalnews.ca/news/7527528/coronavirus-ontario-schools-online-learning-holidays/
Environment and municipal affairs ministers that drove experts with decades of experience and credibility across all political parties to resign from the Greenbelt Council over Schedule 6 of Bill 229 https://www.nationalobserver.com/2020/12/06/news/seven-members-doug-fords-greenbelt-council-resign-conservation-authority-changes
A public safety minister that can't figure out how to get rampant infections under control in the provincial prison system

Finally, a minister of health that in my view has the experience, leadership capabilities, and power to set up and take control of this crisis. However, they have not and show no signs of doing so given the disaster that has been the vaccine rollout.
We are screwed.

I of course can't forget the minister of transport who shared that 2021 needs to be "the year of the seatbelt" even though 96% of Ontarians wear a seatbelt.
Apparently the minister places priority on transportation safety issues that were when her father was prime minister
