Oh, it’s a lot more than the public sector that will be finding themselves to now be health information custodians by collecting this data.

Indeed, being a HIC has a lot of liability. Unfortunately, I think the regulatory institutions and the media are compromised, and I do not forsee any principled resistance based on PHIPA getting traction.

The only way to get traction will be to find a way for it to be used to scapegoat conservative party politicians, otherwise, it's not going to go anywhere. Basically, unless you can pin it all on Doug Ford, the press is going to ignore it.
