Get vaccinated against COVID-19 or face ejection from caucus, Ford's office tells PC MPPs

Premier Doug Ford has given MPPs in his Progressive Conservative government until Thursday afternoon to get a shot of COVID-19 vaccine or face ejection from caucus. In a letter to MPPs obtained by Radio-Canada, chief government whip Lorne Coe said that it is up to the PC caucus to 'show leadership' and 'ensure every eligible Ontarian who can' receives a vaccine. Radio-Canada has not confirmed how many members of caucus received the letter. Coe goes on to say that there is a deadline of 5 p.m. Thursday to provide either proof of vaccination against the virus or a medical exemption from a doctor or registered nurse
