TORONTO -- Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he’s furious at the “bunch of yahoos” who decided to flout physical distancing measures and emergency laws to protest outside Queen’s Park Saturday afternoon, calling them “irresponsible, reckless and selfish.”

Ford was visibly angry at the gathering, which violates the province’s month-long order banning all gatherings of more than five people.
