From what I have seen since 2020, we might be better off if someone other than a doctor was appointed. The current ones across the country haven't exactly been doing a stellar job.

And a Minister of Health that will demand both resources on hand and execution on the other?

Okay, but the position should be tied to the Minister of Health so that the premier can make final decisions based on political expediency.

I think if we teamed up such a person with say, I got it! Someone who sold ads at a small town radio station to be the lead … the results would stupefying!

This may sound crazy, but maybe also pass some laws that gives this doctor powers to do stuff for the protection of health?

"I'm happy that they're able to keep the numbers down to 100 to 150 Ontarians that are getting infected on a weekly basis. To me that's tremendous, hard and difficult work," Moore said.

Who is this mysterious "they" that he speaks of. Surely not Public Health.

Conservatives are a danger to health. Evidenced by Premiers Ford and Smith.

What’s next? Asking the government to spend more on public services?!?

Sheesh.

He's been silenced by Doug Ford. It's often said, "Everyone has their price".

What? Crazy talk.
We'd all be healthy if we just used the turmeric, apple cider vinegar, essential oils, methylene blue, and homeopathic non GMO sea salt.
I think you can get colloidal silver in pumpkin spice flavor now.
