Re: Ford says bad COVID-19 actors will be fined after dismissing Oosterhoff’s maskless party, Oct. 29

Niagara West MPP Sam Oosterhoff needs to apologize to Betty’s Restaurant for the irresponsi­ble behaviour demonstrat­ed by him and his party.

As a result of their refusal to follow the safety protocols set in place, Betty’s has been subjected to unfair and unkind criticisms. As an elected member of the Ontario government it is his duty to lead by example and encourage others to comply with the rules set in place by his own political party.

In this regard he let down his party as well as his constituen­ts. Apologizin­g for not wearing a mask is a start but he needs to follow through with genuine remorse and accept responsibi­lity.
