Another intellectually dishonest part of this whole exercise is how the mask mandates came about in Ontario.

The mandatory mask mandates were all implemented like dominoes at the municipal/public health district level all across the province in near unison in late June/early July when case numbers were at all time lows on the downswing after the first wave.

So not only are they mandates undemocratic and questionably unconstitutional, they are also arbitrary and completely ineffective.
