Description

Is a Chief Coroner the right man to lead Ontario’s COVID-19 response? Dr. Dirk Huyer is the top man in Ontario to oversee and help minimize spread of the virus but some public health experts and doctors are questioning his appointment. In addition, his office has been under fire for, among several points, inadequate analysis of mortality data. Rachel Mendleson, investigative reporter for the Toronto Star, talks to This Matters about her and Hamilton Spectator reporter Joanna Frketich’s deep look into Huyer’s role.
