Dehumanization delayed: Masks no longer mandatory today in most public spaces in Ontario

National Post: 'The change comes a few weeks after the province lifted proof-of-vaccination rules and capacity limits.

'Select settings such as public transit, health-care facilities, long-term care homes and congregate care settings will keep mask mandates until the end of April, when the province plans to put an end to all remaining public health rules.

'Provincial politicians and top health officials say public health indicators have improved enough to remove mask rules, which have also been lifted in other jurisdictions across Canada and around the world.'
