Lilley: Toronto mayor John Tory, like most of the people making these decisions, and I include the Premier, the Prime Minister and all their bureaucrats in this, don’t really get the impact of their decisions. For the most part, their lives have continued.
The politicians and those working most closely around them have continued to go to work, they have continued to be paid, they have not been laid off and asked not to leave their homes while wondering how to pay bills. That is a very real reality for the people affected by the decisions being made.
Have any of these people — and let’s include the doctors, nurses and hospital CEOs — demanding even harsher lockdowns had to worry about their finances during this entire crisis? Have any of them ever gotten to the end of the day worried about how to feed their kids and keep the lights on and gone to bed thankful that they made it another day but not sure about tomorrow?
