Ford delivers ultimatum

All members of the province's Conservative caucus have until tomorrow to get vaccinated for COVID-19 or face getting the boot.

Premier Doug Ford's office confirmed the directive in an email last night.

The Canadian Press reports two caucus members remain unvaccinated.

As well the premier isn't saying if that means they have to be fully vaccinated by tomorrow or singled dosed.

Ford, however, fell short of ordering teachers and health care workers to get vaccinated yesterday saying those who don't will have to undergo regular COVID testing instead.
