Chris Selley: Ridiculous Halloween COVID lockdown may have finally sparked new Upper Canada Rebellion

The frustration was compounded later in the day when the province proudly announced it was allowing dance studios to reopen in the no trick-or-treating zones — but not gyms, and not dining rooms. Consistency has not been a reasonable expectation of government officials hereabouts since spring, but that’s just ridiculous.

It’s a quintessentially Ontarian situation, but no less absurd for that. The only thing more absurd was that people were on tenterhooks waiting for Williams’ verdict. The man has been completely discredited three times over. The media recently spent two weeks yelling at him for not shutting down indoor dining in Toronto, despite an urgent request from Dr. Eileen de Villa, the city’s medical officer of health.

It’s almost as if some of us are looking for a villain to justify breaking the rules — as if, after seven months, their innate, inexplicable preferences are gradually overcoming our preternatural Ontarian caution and fetish for rule-following. Wandering around with a bunch of strangers and neighbours we’ve been studiously avoiding for half a year? Madness! What if a kid gets a runny nose and takes his mask off!Article content continued

Hallowe'en lockdown only for kids in certain areas of Ontario is the final fuckin straw for the fat boy. Ford's career as a politician is done. He can be a utube star making cheesecake.

So some people think it’s a better idea to listen to a person who writes newspaper articles instead of multiple people with a doctoral degree in bio sciences when deciding what to do in a pandemic. Brilliant truly brilliant.

Maybe the trick or treating issue will reset some sanity where corruption, suppression of democracy, and the largest uncontrolled deficit spending in history of Canada hasn’t!

Good. It's beyond ridiculous.

Hope this year's Halloween is the biggest ever.

fordnation doesn't have a clue what he's doing.

Start by firing Tam

Lol, cheap canadians ok with having no one over for easter or thanksgiving, but God forbid someone stops their kids from getting free candy haha.

Well done

Halloween is a dumb pagan festival anyways... I do not know why so many carry on this tradition. Scare kids with evil things for the fun of it? The gross excess is not what kids need right now. How dumb are we parents? Lets us all wise up

Chris. You sense rebellion is afoot. I hope you’re right but I’m sceptical. Too many sheeple in the province. Too too many.

Ridiculous BS. The doctors secretly want to be prison guards.

No light at the end of the tunnel yet. Sigh!

He had to say that .. it’s his job. Any parent worth their salt should be able to take their kids out and be safe IF it turns out that the virus wasn't really as dangerous as it is made out to be then there will be hell to pay. Governments all over will be voted out.
