Ontario Premier Doug Ford says respiratory illnesses among children in Ontario are levelling off, even as CHEO is calling in the Canadian Red Cross to deal with an unprecedented surge in patients.

Ford says Ontario's chief medical officer of health told him the number of children sick with the flu, RSV and COVID-19 is no longer increasing.

Ford made the remarks when he was asked about CHEO requesting assistance from the Canadian Red Cross. The premier said he has been in "constant communication" with CHEO officials, and heaped praise on the hospital's CEO Alex Munter. Ford says CHEO is seeing the high volumes of illness because they're the only hospital in the region that takes care of pediatric care.

Levelling off at 130% occupancy at CHEO is still a crisis. Mr. fordnation stop playing wth words & lives of children in eastern ON.

Has his eggnog been spiked? This man is so disconnected.

Why is fordurd replying where is it cricket puppet Moore?

A more appropriate headline 'fordnation continues to blatantly lie about the state of childrens hospitals in ontario'

He may know what’s going on at his cottage but he has no idea what is happening in Ontario. Or maybe he does but he just doesn’t care. Either way, he’s proven over and over that he can’t be trusted. FordFailedOntario

So. Shall we help the people that save lives or pay the ceo a million a year. More people walk around a hospital doing paper work and a few actually take care of patients. Seen it first hand.

Pretty tone deaf to hear from an ottawa mom of a sick child.

He may know what’s going on at his cottage but he has no idea what is happening in Ontario. Or maybe he does but he just doesn’t care. Either way, he’s proven over and over that he can be trusted. FordFailedOntario

More gaslighting from fordnation ! 🤬

stop fawking lying Dougie!!! go sit with Danielle maybe you can learn from her and go against the elites

Remember folks, Toronto IS Ontario

How much does Quebec contribute to the cost of CHEO services for their young patients in western Quebec? Perhaps they could help out?

fordnation doesn’t know his butt from a hole in the ground. Another one of his untrue statements. And oh yes, he doesn’t care.

Ford needs to keep his comments to himself and stay in his own lane!

Levellng off Don't think the Red Cross would be deployed at CHEO if that were the case...

RemoveDougFordNow

Shame on him. fordnation

There is no proof of that whatsoever.

let's use the data instead of the emotions to judge. the same peak and valleys happen with or with out masks and other mandates. you've haven't realized that yet?

How is he alive 🔥🤬🔥🤬🔥

I think we are all well aware by now of the honesty content of Doug ford's statements. I'll put my belief in the statements of the nurses and doctors actually treating patients despite Doug's efforts

WRONG fordnation

All these adult-children in the comments who hate Ford for obstructing their ability to surrender more of their freedom to the state in exchange for the state taking on more of their social responsibilities, I.e. increasing their social benefits,raising their children, etc..

Ford.. living the dumb life from is alternative universe.

What Ford says we now know it is the opposite of what is true !

so? now he is the medical authority? promises for years now for more beds, hospitals, we have this many nurses being hired, we have that many nurses in colleges and universities, but no solutions for the disasters happening now, don't worry, though, privatization is our solution

Yeah, let's trust Ford.

WTF ? I guess that was in the plan too 🤬

You spelled 'piss poor planning' wrong. I guess having a toy CEO isn't a good idea after all 🤷

Leveling off in Toronto maybe… Ontario is a big place.

fordnation what a lying clown

Does this look like it's leveling off? And even if it levels off at this severity they can't maintain this level of emergency in CHEO. Credit to Billius27 for the fantastic graph - worth a follow for most up to date data.

Dougie should go follow nurses around at Cheo for a few hours. Perhaps that'll change his outlook on healthcare!

We need to get this man out of office. Enough is enough, and Healthcare workers and patients are all suffering, with not a shred of empathy from him!!!!!

HE HAS NO CLUE, UNFORTUNATELY

This guy is unfit as premier. Resign!

Time to get Dr. In clinics back to work! Virtual/tele assessment to only be told; go to Cheo. Or wait online/call around for Cheo clinics to asses our LO. I spent 6hrs CHEO today. Gen consensus from parentsthey could not be seen by a dr. Told to go to cheo! Unbelievable!

fordnation is not a doctor or a scientist and he listens to no one that knows anything about health so why would you even listen to this drug dealing highschool dropout

it is levelling off....CTV propaganda news at its best!

The people have no confidence in the Canadian lying media and corrupt government leaders no more time to...step down!!!

Leveling off or dying out? No empathy from him at all. Unless it brings him a profit, he doesn’t care.

Why would anyone take Ford's word on anything?

Don’t know why not one other then one comment mentions all nurses and doctors let go by federal mandate for vaccines. Start there. Ford sucks. But so does trudea

It’s stunning that people actually think fordnation is doing a good job 🙄

Why would anyone listen to that guy or believe anything that comes out of his mouth. Lying liar lying.

After everything that has transpired since Feb 2020,never mind terminations,how millionaire hospital executives are not being perp walk paraded on TV is beyond repugnant

Munter: CHEO crisis shows we must do better for children's health careOur slimmed\u002Ddown system has been too small for children’s growing needs for years. The current hospital surge is a reality jolt. Mismanaged healthcare systems, overpaid executives & incompetent government. But let’s gaslight the tax payers. 🙄 The people in charge of CHEO should be FIRED and replaced with actual doctors. This morning CHEO had 6 patients waiting to see a doctor. SIX in a city of a million people. Now it's up to 36 and still below 2,5 hours to wait. Where is the crisis?
