Carmen Santoro, the president of the OPFFA, said the province is on track for nearly 116 fire deaths in 2020 which would be the highest number in more than a decade.“Firefighters would like to see Ontarians work together to be fire safe and to turn around the tragic trend we have seen so far this year,” Santoro said in a statement.
The average number of annual fire fatalities in the 10-year period of 2009 to 2018 was just under 85, according to the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal.

The US is deploying Covid testing station in airports. Why not in Canada. Yep all of that for a variation of the flu with a 0.00023 mortality rate in Canada and 80% of that in old age homes. Thanks for telling us to give up our rights and give in to government tracking, I actually expected better from you. Jokes on me.
