The Ontario government is making a $20 million investment towards provincially-based research to help find a vaccine for COVID-19.

Ford went on to tout the province’s track record related to medical research, stating that Ontario “has some of the best research facilities and hospitals in the world.”

Minister of Colleges and Universities Ross Romano stood alongside Ford at Saturday’s news conference and echoed his sentiment. “We want to find a vaccine at the soonest possible opportunity, like all of you - that is our priority.” Ontario's Official Opposition released a statement regarding the funding later in the day, noting that the $20 million dollars “follows Doug Ford’s $25 million cut to the Health System Research Fund one year ago,” which was part of the “$51 million slash to Health Policy and Research, overall.”

He has done way more then hiding Justin.

This guy gets it. This guy should run Canada

Obviously he has some friends within the industry. Audits for all federal government employees

He's hoping it's found in Ontario so he can be a hero. Hoping Ontarians will forget his bungling & cuts before COVID19. I fully expect if we do develop a vaccine, he'll drive the first case in his own pickup truck & unload it for a photo op. And media will get sucked in again.

20 mil will get ya a weeks worth of studies.

Mixed feelings here. Ontario has excellent research facilities to potentially develop this vaccine. If so, could these Dollars be returned to healthcare where cuts were made? It’s been hard to see cuts yet we do clearly need a vaccine and have the researchers for it.

jkenney cancelled the super research lab in Alberta when the Clown lied & cheated into our 'situation RESIGN NOW'

20 million he is giving to felons that make vaccines. And then they kickback a million back to him and next, they’re all rich. And nobody is healthier. Then repeat 5 more times.

20 million is a start but 100 million would be alot more realistic in order to attract top ranking scientists.

Here's to all staff at Revera senior centers in Toronto! Doing a great job taking good care of all their residents🥰

He needs to be specific.

The SARS vaccine was never found... Just saying...

I would love to know where all this money is coming from? There was no money for Autism, teachers, health care workers, etc and now we are rolling in it.

do it man u make it u be a gawd

Money laundering.

Fats gonna kill that thing

Why do we need to spend anything on a disease that has killed one person under 40 and 20 people under 60. What aren’t you telling us.

fordnation you should throw an incentive on top of that. If the person who creates an effective vaccine in a certain time frame would get financially rewarded.

Ya buddy just like found SAR and H1N1 vaccine. Jesus is coming back to earth too. Listen you lie out of your teeth. Your brother gonna be proud of you. onpoli

CTVLondon No vaccine possible because it’s a bioweapon, all we have is para-immunity.

Looks like he's staring at a massive sandwich and confused as to which end to bite first.

What about CovidTesting 4 all?

A vaccine can no more be found for CV19 then a vaccine has been found for the common cold or flu The virus mutates ----- I will not be vaccinated for a mutating virus which they still do not understand, testing is flawed and overlapping - Period

You would love to walk around with that S on your chest. SuperFord

Not for $20 million Doug. Not even remotely close.

To his corporate buddies, no doubt.

‘No reason vaccine can’t be found in Ontario,’ Ford says while announcing $20 million research investmentThe Ontario government is making a $20 million investment towards provincially-based research to help find a vaccine for COVID-19. Reminder: There were $25 million in cuts to the Health System Research Fund a year ago. That's still $5 million less. Sure, it's a good move. But it shouldn't have been cut in the first place. He should bet the same amount Kenney put the Keystone pipeline !
