Covid positive & high risk transient criminals being released to stay at the Prince Arthur Hotel
THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO ~~~~~~~~ February 10, 2021 (LSN) Thunder Bay Courthouse-Inside Edition reported on Saturday, January 30, 2021 of Covid positive & high risk transient criminals being released to stay at the Prince Arthur Hotel located at 17 Cumberland Street North. They were being released on unofficial orders from Janet Demille of the Thunder Bay Health Unit (TBHU)
Criminals were living at the hotel courtesy of taxpayers without supervision and spreading the virus in our city.
Mayor Bill Mauro hastily called a Sunday morning meeting on January 31,2021 after the news was exposed to the public. Suddenly, he wanted oversight and supervision of Covid criminals at the Prince Arthur Hotel.
The lack of planning and action by the Mayor, Council & Health Unit had put the entire city at risk.
Inside Edition has obtained a copy of the latest written order by Chief Medical Officer Janet Demille (see photos attached)
LEGAL PROBLEMS WITH HEALTH UNIT ORDER
It’s pretty obvious that Janet Demille is not a lawyer, nor did she consult a competent one. She’s most likely never heard of Section 15 of the Charter of Rights. Section 15 pertains to EQUALITY RIGHTS. The majority of transient criminals in Thunder Bay are indigenous and the Health Unit has chosen to discriminate against them. The Health
Another big problem is that the Health Unit order states a nurse will administer testing. But Demille isn’t too familiar with the laws. It will be argued that a Doctor is required to administer the test. The Health Unit is practically inviting legal action against them. And taxpayers will fund Demille’s legal team.
THE BIGGEST FAILURE OF ALL
Janet Demille and the Thunder Bay Health Unit have done little to nothing in mitigating the Covid-19 issues at the Thunder Bay Jail & Correctional Center. Instead, they’ve chosen to try punish criminals on court ordered release when they have no jurisdiction to do so. The lack of action by the Thunder Bay City Council & Health Unit has contributed to the spread of Covid-19 in our city. It’s mostly reactive and not proactive. The actions they take now are akin to closing the barn doors after the horses run away.
Our city requires better and competent leadership on City Council, as well as at the Health Unit. Local businesses & citizens suffer due to the dismal performance of these elected and unelected officials.
