Ontario Finance Minister Resigns
Squidward von Squidderson:
After the government telling everyone to stay home, don’t go anywhere for the holidays, the Finance Minister, Rod Phillips, goes on a Caribbean vacation. He also tried to hide the fact. Now he has resigned.

They hypocrisy is stunning. Tone deaf. Unsafe.
Imagine if everyone ignored the health advice like this guy, who is part of the government relaying the ‘stay home’ message. The place would be an entire shambles; hospitals would be overrun with patients, COVID would be rampant. But those health orders are for you and I.... the privileged few don’t need to worry about that, as long as the plebs do what they’re told.
Important questions remain... what did Ford know about it and. What did he do to stop it?

I applaud him for resigning. There's been over a dozen high profile Democrats caught doing the same thing, and none of them have resigned.

What does this have to do with America?
You do know that we live in a different country, with different political parties and different government houses, don’t you?

Yes, I'm glad he resigned. I'm just pointing out that almost all politicians caught doing similar things, haven't. In fact, I think he's the only one.

Applaud him for resigning? He had no ethical choice.
It's estimated that 25% of Americans are travelling over Christmas. That's why the country is so **** up.
