Ontario Premier Doug Ford will not order provincial beaches to close despite incidents of major overcrowding.

on Canada Day.

"The Government of Ontario has mismanaged Wasaga Beach Provincial Park during the reopening and it is frustrating for residents and visitors" Bifolchi said. "People know what the rules are and yet they clearly ignored them all for the sake of a day at the beach," Bifolchi said. "I was appalled by what I witnessed."

Ahead of another sunny and hot weekend in Ontario, Ford is urging people to use "common sense" when heading out for a day at the beach.

This just invites the daily numbers to increase and increase by leaps and bounds, just in time for school to start up again. I wish Premier Ford would rethink this.

We have done so well as a country and in Ontario to go to Phase 3. Let’s not follow those of America who are doing the same thing and spoil it for the rest of us who are trying to stay in Phase 3 for our needs. Like going to the Gym etc

This is why NL shouldn’t open their borders

Of course they won’t close them it’s bringing too much money for parking and handing out tickets for not paying for parking by-law does not care about social distance Peoples health and safety all they care about is if you’re breaking the rules and what the fine is going to be

Happy Coronavirus day Ontario! Can’t wait to hear from you in 2 to 3 weeks ... 🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠

People need to wake-up! (Image/data from Johns Hopkins University) Keep our BORDER CLOSED!

Survival of the smartest

Premier Ford said “use common sense at the crowded beaches for social distancing” A government who wants to kill more people with the virus. There is no other explanation in a province with a serious pandemic.

Show us an aerial view. I bet these people are just fine. Suggestion: report on the Canada Day events at Parliament Hill. So much going on in the world and you want to beat dead horses. Kinda gross actually.

One good “achoo” whacks 20 easy.

Because no one buying into it anymore and when sept oct comes around guess what its called flu season our hospitals are absolutely empty! But ill tell you one thing the INCREASE of suicide and mental health is on the rise WHY WONT U COVER THAT?

Good! How about we let people live their lives instead of tyrannically controlling the nation cv1984 ChineseVirus ChinaWillPay

Ontario has a weak in the knees 'leader' who cannot control these idiots

Good Because the protests that were allowed would make leaders in Ontario look bat crap crazy if they even tried to close beaches

Good!!!

If you don't do something, then you are going to have one hell of a lot of sick people coming forward in the very near future.

I’m so disappointed in people🤬😷

Ontario CAN'T close packed beaches BECAUSE OF major crowds* Fixed it. Funny how they mask their impotent authority, while simultaneously making us feel like we have no power over them. As if 'we got lucky they let us go to the beach' No. They can't stop us. We have the 's.

Keep them IN Ontario!

Turning yourselves in the Florida of Canada, shut them down before it blows up again

Canada is doing well enough that they can track those who are positive. This will not be the case if people get selfish and forget about a virus deadly enough to kill people of all ages. If herding starts on the beaches then common sense says to close them until people comply

dkreative1 Many Toronto city hall squatters can exist since mid June in tent village and no problem of infectious spread? People on a beach are a problem. Listen to real Dr reveal the truth about this dockaurG No science exists for health policy. Prove it! Deaths isolated to at risk group.

Outdoor might be better than indoor

What?

Nothing else needs saying

Covid's a joke, so shut up already !!!

Come on! Please don’t embarrass Canada!

If they're not going to stop thousands or protesters why should they stop this? A precedent was set.

That’s how it should be. Let people decide and deal with the consequences.

And they shouldn't either

Good.

lindahaslett Southern Ontario clearly needs more public parks, beaches, and lakefront spaces. Learn from this and protect access to more of these spaces in the future. The people clearly want them. onpoli

Doug Ford, looking out for Ontarians.

Then here’s to more dieing from covid

Good!! Go out and enjoy your summer Canadians...tell the useless MSM and corrupt weak politicians to shove it!

Sounds like you are telling-on a sibling CTV.

Not good! At least promote social distancing and mask wearing if too close!

Good. Freedom!!!

Then these people travel back to there cities and continue the dangerous spread of the virus! Which means quarantining again!

Well thats just great! 🤦‍♀️🙄

Avoiding an insurrection at the cost of COVID spread ... and the risk IS real!

Trump should be having his fireworks in Ontario.

Thus securing the second wave.

However, municipalities are in fact closing beaches.

Good!!!! Sanity prevails

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WE'RE IN A PANDEMIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Free people are free. Freedom doesn’t end where fear begins.

Oh give it a rest CTV First it's a 1000 times worse than the flu. Then you admit it's only a 100 times worse. Then we find out it's almost on par with the flu. Quit the fearmongering for profit. HCQ works and we all need to catch it if we want to beat it. Let nature be.

fordnation is despicable. He takes his lead from his fuhrer predatortrump fordtrash

Welp, we're doomed. I guess we had a good run.

fordnation this is wrong I don’t want my friends in waasaga beach to die This is the first stupid thing g you’ve done for the virus

'Overcrowding issues' See those people over there doing something I don't feel comfortable doing, because I'm scared? They're bad and wrong. Fuck off

Outdoor is best:

Better hope this shit doesn't come back like it is in the USA

Maybe because we won't f****** listen to tyrants.. we are free, we are free, we are free

No lesson learnt from Florida.

The Pandemic is Over ... !

IDIOTS!!!

In scale of freedom and dictatorship the freedom should be everyone's choice. Responsible people are know what they should do as knowing already the danger of. This is only way to get normally behaving people in society. That needs western style of life and not communist dictate.

Comments are hilarious. Let me know when they start dropping dead on the beach.

Our service men will go all over the world to dangerous areas and we can’t follow 3 simple rules. Wear masks, keep your distance and stay out of crowds. Selfish people.

Good.

Good. Let people have fun!!

Why would anyone worry? Thousands in the streets shoulder to shoulder didn't infect anyone 🥱

Is John Tory shutting down the protestors “Tent City” at city hall. They are packed in there not social distancing or wearing masks...such damn hypocrites

Good. I thought flu bugs died out in the hot weather... guess this one is a little different eh...

The stores control access, why can't the beaches?

There’s no reason to. The covid death rate for people under 45 is practically nil. The majority has nothing to fear, of you do, protect yourself.

We have lots of respirators now?

Use at your own risk? Let adults make their own decisions?

Then charge the CovidIdiot s pleeeeeze!

Shut the dam beaches down and keep the border closed

You can’t catch it from being out in public! Look at the BLM protest evidence! 0 cases!! lol

Let the idiots thin themselves out. The rest of must stay diligent and strong. Maintain social distancing and wear a mask when necessary and mandatory to do so.

SU....fear mongering

Just wanted to let you know the virus hasn't gone away because you're bored. You're welcome 😊

Water is so healing. The action of the waves and the breeze can give a sense of peace. Love and Peace.💖🙏🌎

99.993% survival rate.

god im going to be isolating for the rest of my years!!! Stupid people .... STUPID Ford!!

Bravo!

Just like the Florida beaches. A Couple of cases and the next thing you know the epidemic is spread all over the Province.

The Florida of canada

Common sense really! Provincial gov shows no common sense🤔Ford is dumb as a stump so will end up like Florida😣

Sure, just don't go into a restaurant for a meal. Ontario govt is screwing the citizens they swore to SERVE!

We should guess not enough from the LNN! It’s a peaceful heat and humidity protest!!

Biggest problem with Ont . It simple , Ford to much of nanny there . Last province to open up . People there are tired . To be on lockdown. Then they will stop listening and going rebel . 😳

Keep it up Ontario, you are the New United States. Don't come to the West

Here comes the second wave

So, we aren’t smarter than the ‘Murcans.

This is a bad move by the provincial government, these beach-goers are posing a public health risk with their congregating and they have no sense of responsibility to their fellow citizens. In cases like this the government should step in and close the beaches.

Way to Dougie! Brace yourself.... everyone cause it’s gonna turn into theworstonitsway stayinyourprovince

They need Dr. Bonnie

Beaches should remain open! People need to live again. If anyone thinks it is too crowded......STAY HOME!!! SIMPLE!

So do what Wasaga did. 25% capacity. Close portions of the parking lot. Tow who parks along roads. Easy peasy

You get what you elect!

And you hammer Trump rallies constantly and the Celebration at Mount Rushmore (All Republicans on Mount Rushmore by the way). You are fake and bad news......

See you all at the beach. Oh, and best part is there will be no socialists there ...

I heard there is a waiting list for apartment rentals in Ontario. Perhaps this will resolve that issue.

Yea let then sleep there and cure themselves from the so called '99% recover' stupid comments. Honestly, humanity is at loss.

The beach goers will choose their consequences, by their own irresponsible actions!

Not all of Ontario. Some counties/towns are protecting their communities.

Not all of Ontario - some counties/tiwns are protecting their communities.

I love the media's fake outrage as if they care about people, shut up puppets, your just a highly funded extention of the democratic party

MarkParalovos The scamdemic is fake . You’re the only ones that don’t seem to realize it

How far do you think you can carry this on? Awful small percentage of people are stupid enough to believe you!

A lot of Ontario communities and Mayors being left to fend for themselves against an onslaught of stupidity.

Smarten up, people. 😡

Ontario...land of the entitled...

Good. And while everyone is enjoying the sand, KTV (Karen Television Network) can go pound sand.

Woodbine Beach Toronto. Canada Day social distancing failed.

I'm sure mass spreading of the virus only happens on Florida Beaches. Its not like we're putting our families lives in danger by attending packed beaches during a Pandemic. Thats only other peoples problems.

It's a protest. And as per our illustrious media reports as fact . Protests dont spread covid . This was reported all over the world. So, did you spread fake news?

Florida.... just throwing that out

Don’t be stupid

Dr Faucci interview.. The second he thinks the camera is turned off.. Him and his friends remove their masks. Hes a fucking Liar and a criminal He should be charged with crimes against humanity IMO

This is criminal activity. This is sheer stupidity! This is suicidal. BC PLEASE close the BC boarders we do not want these crazy people here!

Big Mistake, just when I thought he was doing a decent job🤬

That is because the moron running the province doesn't get it even though he goes before the microphone and states tough measures to combat covid-19. I guess this one slipped through the cracks.

If you think you have covid 19 then take the CURE thats being denied to the ppl in favor of big pharma $$$

fordnation PublicHealthON On one side you are trying to reopen without having the increase in cases some States are having & on the other you are taking a HUGE risk keeping the beaches open. What is the message? Make up your mind since we're the ones following your guidance😷

As they shouldn't! Get a real.job and stop with the scare tactics! How about you report the truth for once! You will all be out of a job soon enough anyway!

Good. Stand your ground Ontario 👏 no reason you can’t be responsible for your own body and health. They’re not stupid they’ll be sanitary.

Good!! Sunlight, heat..vit D all proven killers of viruses. WTG Ontario

I guess some haven't learned a thing from Florida

Start spreading the virus 🦠 =Stop people think 🤔

Good, leave us the hell alone. We're not your children.

Time to quarantine corrupt ScumMedia in the old Kingston Pen.

Here we go . Why do people think they are invincible ? Canada was doing good , this aught to fuck the hell out of it .

Now they are bringing Covid 19 back to Toronto, Barrie, Mississauga, etc etc.

How about f off and leave people alone! We can't just sit in our homes for the rest of our lives. Time to get out and enjoy the sunshine, if you get covid, there's over a 99% chance you will survive. But the media and the sheep love the fear porn.

I see no problem here. 14 days to flatten the curve. Job done. Let's go back to normal.
