  • “As a Straight, White Man — Wait, Not White.”
    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report February 6, 2020 Quotation of the day “As a straight, white man — wait, not white.” Liberal leadership candidate Alvin Tedjo, who is of Asian descent, makes a quip about using ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ fellow contender Steven Del Duca’s speaking notes during the party’s LGBTQ forum. ​ ​ Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The house will reconvene on Tuesday, February 18, 2020. In the park The Ontario Autism Coalition will stage a “freeze-in” to protest the Ford government’s delay in implementing a needs-based autism program. Families and advocates will march on the legislature’s south lawn and stand still for five minutes at 11:30 a.m. Coronavirus scare shines light on need for public health funding: NDP The Opposition and government traded barbs over concerns about the coronavirus at Queen’s Park on Wednesday. That’s despite the latest update from provincial health officials that there are no new cases beyond the three previously confirmed, and as the number of cases under investigation continued to drop this week. NDP Leader Andrea Horwath held a press conference to call on the PCs to reverse future ​ ​ funding cuts to public health, while Health Minister Christine Elliott’s office fired back that ​ ​ Horwath was trying to “score political points.” “Ontario’s expert public health officials have been unanimously clear: Ontario is prepared to effectively respond to the 2019 novel coronavirus, something Andrea Horwath herself acknowledged,” Elliott’s spokesperson Travis Kann said in an email statement. ​ ​ Kann added that public health officials have briefed the NDP three times on the matter in order to ensure all MPPs are informed and “to demonstrate that the health and safety of Ontarians is and always should be above politics.” Horwath did admit Ontario’s response to the outbreak has been “outstanding” but stressed that “we need to keep it that way.” She urged the PCs to cancel planned funding cuts and asked the government to review public health resources in order to keep Ontarians safe in the future.
