Ontario is still in lockdown because we allowed so many COVID cases to be brought in from flights from India and Pakistan.
Brampton is a COVID hot spot with a majority Indian population. Any criticism of how the Indian culture might be to blame for high COVID numbers was labeled as racism. Early suggestions of a travel ban from the hot spot country was labeled racism.
The NDP and many Liberals pushed the narrative that systemic racism and low wages were to blame for Brampton and its Indian population being hard hit. Meanwhile the reality is that these people live in million dollar plus homes, drive brand new cars, and have enough money to travel to India during the pandemic.
