I'm starting to get annoyed with the "one size fits all" approach of the Provincial government. If the GTA can't control Covid-19, cities who are able to keep the virus at bay, like Ottawa and Kingston, should not be held back. Something as simple as opening patios would do wonders to morale and the bottom line of many businesses without augmenting risk significantly.
I'm glad the City will be waving some patio fees (I'd be curious to know the average costs saved per business), but the Mayor needs to stand-up to Ford on this.
Quebec and Alberta, though I think might have opened up a little too early, adopted regional plans. Ontario should do the same.
