I have watched several of Governor Cuomo's press briefings, very impressive indeed. No BS, well informed and well spoken. The man knows how to take charge. I just wish he would get all the support he needs, as well as all the other leaders of the other states.
Here in Ontario, the Premier, Doug Ford, is a conservative. Another politician born with a silver spoon in his <insert orifice>, but I have to give him a lot of credit. He holds a press briefing everyday, surrounded by experts that he trusts and more importantly, he listens to! He is well spoken, well informed, stern, yet compassionate. He has absolutely taken charge of the situation in Ontario and has backed it up with every option he has in his power. He has constantly said he will spare no expense for the health and well being of every resident of Ontario. He has formed alliances with manufacturer's and they are all stepping up to the plate to produce ventilators, sanitizers and P.P.E. He's increasing testing and doing many other things to help us get through this.
Yesterday a 'boutique grocery store' in Toronto, was caught red-handed by someone on social media, selling 1 container of Lysol wipes for $29.99 (Costco sells 6 containers for the same price). The premier called them out by name, on live television and told them he is coming after them and every other price gouging store in Ontario. He was pissed and rightly so. As a resident watching this, it's reassuring to watch someone take charge and lead, not just by word, but by actions!
I will always give credit where credit is due and this Premier and Governor Cuomo, deserve a lot of credit right now!
