Continued mandatory masking in our schools, for children as young as three years old.

Another declared "state of emergency."

More authoritarian emergency powers for the Ford PC Ontario government - greater than the powers they have already given themselves over the last two years.

Freezing and seizing voluntary donations from Canadians, intended to help those impacted by job losses induced by policies of the Trudeau and Ford governments.

Does any of that sound like Ontario is on track to getting "back to normal".

No, of course not.

But that's what Doug Ford and the PC Party want Ontarians to believe.

Establishment PC politicians and PC operatives will say anything in private to save their corrupt PC Party - including lying and deceiving.

But what they do, always seems to be the exact opposite of what they say.

Yesterday, Doug Ford said in a telephone conversation that he was going to end Ontario's provincial COVID-19 vaccine passport scheme - the one that his Ontario PC government introduced after failing to convince Justin Trudeau to introduce such a scheme nationally.

But Ford wouldn't say when.

And Ford didn't make a public announcement.

Why not?

And Ford wouldn't commit to banning the use of COVID-19 vaccine passports in Ontario. This means that COVID-19 vaccine passports (or other such proof requirements) could still be used in the public and private sectors.

And while Ford was saying all this in a phone conversation with a "supporter," in public, the Ford PCs were doing the exact opposite - implementing further heavy handed and authoritarian lockdown moves that are abnormal.

Yesterday, the Ford PC government announced that mandatory masking, in places like our schools, will be around for the foreseeable future, even after any other "mandates" are eased or lifted.

Second, the PC government leaked information to the corporate media stating Ford will announce another "state of emergency" and introduce new emergency powers for the Ontario PC government which include stiffer fines and penalties for those criticizing or protesting the government.

Third, the Ford PC government went to court to get a judge to give them an order to freeze the voluntary donations raised from Canadians (over $8 million) intended for truckers protesting or impacted by the Trudeau-Ford mandates.

None of that is getting "back to normal" as Ford said on the phone.

And none of that is anything to celebrate about.

But that is what the deceptive PC Party politicians, like Doug Ford, and their PC Party operatives, want Ontarians to believe.

Of course, you and I have seen this all before.

That is why we have created and are building the New Blue Party of Ontario and are getting ready to run candidates in the next Ontario election.

To stand up for principle.

To stand up for Ontarians and let them know how they are being deceived by the very same PC politicians and PC operatives that pretend to support them.

We will campaign on policies that the Ontario PC Party will never implement - like banning the use of COVID-19 vaccine passports or proof requirements, a position that we have taken since the scheme was first introduced by the Doug Ford PCs.

And for the sake of Ontario's future and the future of our children, we will not stop, because we know that as soon as we do, the Ontario PC Party's lies and deception will go unchallenged.

To keep our momentum going, please consider a contribution.
