Rules are for the little people II

Tom Stewart didn't even care about the optics:
The CEO of Ontario's St. Joseph's Health System and Niagara Health vacationed in the Caribbean over the holidays despite government advisories to stay at home as the number of COVID-19 cases soared across the province.
Dr. Tom Stewart, who sat on a number of health advisory boards, including a COVID-19 panel that advises Premier Doug Ford, resigned from those panels Tuesday after news of his trip to the Dominican Republic was made public.
Thanks to his advice, gyms and many restaurants are closed across Ontario in the middle of the harsh winter while this guy vacations on the beach abroad. It's not that hard to postpone a trip. He thought that he could get away with it. Good on the people who exposed this mediocrity.
Oh, he also got fired from his CEO position:
The St. Joseph’s Health System has begun the search for a new president and CEO after parting ways with Dr. Thomas Stewart following a trip he took to the Caribbean over the holidays amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In a short statement, the agency’s board of directors thanked Stewart for his service and said they will be announcing a new Interim CEO and President “shortly.”
Excellent.
