Premier Doug Ford will meet with his cabinet tonight to discuss the possibility of making it mandatory for health-care and education workers to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, sources tell CTV News Toronto.

The Ford government has previously sidestepped questions about making vaccination mandatory for some front-line workers but it has faced increasing pressure to do so in recent weeks amid a fourth wave of the pandemic that has seen case counts double every nine days.

It should, however, be noted that there is no longer enough time for unvaccinated individuals to get both doses prior to the first day of school on Sept. 9 given the need to wait 28 days between shots.Tonight’s cabinet meetings comes as cases counts continue their upward trend and Ford warns Ontarians that “we are not done with COVID yet” and that the virus “will be something we live with for a while longer.

In fact, Ontario’s science table now estimates that cases are doubling every nine days. The effective reproductive number has also risen to a level not seen since the spring of 2020 with each person who contracts the virus passing it on to an average of 1.44 other people. But he said that despite the “incredible progress” Ontario has made, COVID-19 appears to be here for the foreseeable future.

Make sure that fordnation knows that people who are fully vaxxed WANT “vaccine passports”. It’s the only way to get life back to normal.

And they better discuss who’s responsible when someone gets sick from the vaccine they were force to get. Stupid ass government revoking freedoms bit by bit!

Even if you make it mandatory you cannot force people to take it.

Just do it Dougie boy!

Next day he's meeting with the cabinet to discuss making non mandatory to drive sober. Then eliminate the mandatory seat belt law.

Fack finally!!! Nearly 8 gd months late!!!

No, you forced them to work without a vaccine for a year, now your going to make them get the shot against their will ? Get F....d their their choice, you cant pick and choose when that saying is acceptable. What you going to do when a vaxxers that you made get it gives it to s1

Don't do it Duggy. Don't listen to the Nazis.

If it’s made mandatory, then masks should be optional for teachers in high school. fordnation osstf

Uh oh, his anti vaxxer daughter is not going to like that!

Over stepping by government they have ZERO buissness trying that .. if they do and WHEN people suffer the vaccine injuries it's then considered a job related injury and they can pay that worker for the rest of their lives.

Prove an isolated case first

It’s about time

Nothing to discuss. Make it mandatory for everyone!

About fucking time fordnation

It's a sad day for our democracy when we have to be vaccinated against our will. God help us 🇨🇦

Non vacinated staff should not get paid for time off if they need to be off for testing.

Lol he wants to sink o’toole

No discussion necessary, it’s a no brainer, MANDATORY !

Oh he's back.. Finally showing his face.

Cue the lawsuits.

I see lots of negative feedback from the anti-vaxxers groups will likely be part of the fourth wave positive statistics.

He’s a little late. He didn’t listen. When he shut down T.O. every1 drove up here & filled 2 carts full of food, paper products etc at Costco&left us without some stuff Guy tried to return 20+ pkg of toilet paper after. Good for them - no return.

Why are so many people concerned about forcing others to do what they want

fordnation’s poll numbers must be dropping. So, as per usual, whatever he was adamant about NOT doing, he is being *reactive* in walking it back. You can’t buy votes with reactionary actions, Dufus.

Needs to be more than a discussion. Let’s get it done already.
