Health Minister Patty Hajdu fired back at Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Thursday, reminding him that provincial police can enforce quarantine rules too.

as "broken" in a Wednesday press conference, saying federal health officers aren’t laying charges against Quarantine Act rule breakers.

Hajdu also pointed out that the vast majority of COVID-19 spread is happening within communities, as opposed to being brought into Canada by an outside source. Should federal quarantine officers decide to enforce the Quarantine Act, rule breakers could face up to six months in jail and fines up to $750,000."The premier should advise the OPP that if he feels they are not fully using the act in the way that they have the authority to do so, that they of course are empowered to do that," Hajdu said.

"The system is broken," Ford said. "I need the help from the federal government to make an amendment or change it. Why have our police go around and checking to see if people are quarantining if they aren't going to follow up with a charge?"

Now that is a good picture of incompetence

The OPP and Ontario Municipal Police have other things to handle other than writing Covid tickets. Like catching crooks, thieves, rapist, murderers, child molesters and others. After they finish busting all the scum and still have time then they can go write Covid tickets.

Lost me at Health Minister. She has ZERO medical background!

fordnation Here comes the Melbourne lock down! Wake Up! Herr Ford wants his money to betray Ontarians CrimesAgainstHumanity

fordnation really! We didn’t vote for you so you would become a turn-coat Liberal

What about mental health services for blacks only...

What an idiot. She thinks the Premier should instruct police (he can't) to lay charges (the charges fall under federal act). Then again, SNC. I'm guessing Patty doesn't realize the covid hotbeds, Toronto and Peel have majority of their policing done by their own police forces

We're all going to end up in camps, aren't we

Ya, I’m sure they can work that into their schedule now that you told them

What a fraud where was this during the early days of the pandemic when the federal government should have closed the border and enforced quarantines

Like airhead knows anything

Another paid off lackey pushing the agenda ...

A little known fact apparently: if the requisite authority or enforcement agent is not available, any officer of the law should enforce the law!

gogirl you tell him; you show him; I’m suspecting he won’t listen to a female voice as powerful or more powerful than he; don’t hesitate! I’m sure he’s not aware of the laws and the rules! 🤪🤪🤪fordnation is on an avalanche of spewing NOT doing. talkischeap

fordnation Nonsense! Federal and Provincial Crown Attorneys’ offices work side by side in nearly every court in Ontario daily managing summary and indictable offences (Federal crimes vs Provincial offences). Another Ford using the people as pawns for money from the feds. Cheap.

Sounds like communism. No Emergency. No curve to flatten. No hospital was over run

Hell, if Ford wants the feds to enforce the rules, they can start with one of the biggest rules breakers, HIM. onpoli

Did she 'fire back' from one of the country's private jets?

But only Trudeau could have imposed quarantine measures at the borders way earlier !

Power trip !!! People gave too much power to those in government. They forgot, that they are working for Canadian people

Border controls and regs are federal. As usual, she's shirking responsibility.

Hey Patty. Do your fuckin job and stop planes from coming into the country bringing Covid with them. If I where you Patty I’d sit down and stay quiet 🤫 Do your job.

fordnation wrong once again

The Liberals invoked measures that were neither scientific or with medical significance. A constitutional debate is in the courts yet CTV doesn't report on it. Over 90% who died were over 60 years old. 3 levels of Govt have No Exit Strategy now. SWEDEN

She is disgraceful:

She looks like she just got out of Pelosi’s salon

It's getting spicy. Wonder if provincial police are willing to enforce totalitarian directives without common sense.

Fuck off!

So 24699 tests in Ontario yesterday with 170 positives results. This means that 0.7 % tested positive and 99.3% tested negative. If you take the margin of error that a PCR test brings, it basically means that there is no virus out there . PERIOD. Stop scaring everybody!!

who can enforce laws on liberal lawbreakers

It's like the interior designer Thunder Bay commuter has some kind of hidden power.

He just meant Povincial Police are busy bringing in Speeding ticket money. They don't have the time or resources to do both.

check out what's happening in Australia..full blown COMMUNIST tactics...this can't be allowed in Canada..these politicians have to GO

Lol.. and people still think this is about a virus.

I support Doug Ford!! Sadly you will have to Snitch to help your grandparents live!! 😐😣🙄😑

Arguing over who gets to enslave Canadians...our gov't sucks

Didn’t the liberals tell us that government shouldn’t tell police how to do their job during the illegal protests, where they told the police how to do their jobs?

She not wrong.

My tax money is funding these clowns?

Ontario deserves better than a ford

Is the era of cooperation over?

Dangerously underqualified...

Govt is not supposed to tell police how to do thier job....

Shove it PattyHajdu

Graphic designer 🤫 LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Seems to me that Doug Ford has done way more for Canadians than Trudope!

When they start arresting corrupt politicians, then they can start arresting normal citizens just trying to live their lives.

She's protecting. How about an article on how incompetent she it.

How ironic - two hypocrites trading jabs at each other.

she needs a vacation...Bora Bora maybe!!!!!!!

Ya good luck with the enforcement. We are fed up with all the bullshit.
