With Toronto Police still standing inside the restaurant many are defying orders by eating outside on the Adamson BBQ front lawn patio. The number of people here continues to climb. Police and the city of Toronto have obviously not shut the venue down yet today. pic.twitter.com/9Ys6KLfvLn

Here's more from @OntarioAuditor on the (unnamed) consultant paid $1.6 million to develop Ontario's #COVID19 command structure, (and another $3.2M to assist with recovery planning and the reopening strategy for education). #covid19ontario pic.twitter.com/HOCKm1ulCG

This seems like severe incompetence if we are looking at this with the most charitable light.

That should be grounds for removal from the legislature. He's actively and proudly putting lives in danger.

This is the entire Republican Party in the US.  Can we remove them all too?

Yay freedom! 

I haven't read the decision but doesn't this open the doors for other, non-religious, groups to also file challenges?

That would be great, but I think we?d only be able to remove the more vocal ones as it relates to the pandemic. Their day-to-day actions to put lives in danger won?t have enough support.

Is it just me, or are they being quite gentle about this flagrant defiance.

My understanding is they can only issue fines so if that's indeed the case I don't know what we should expect.

This would be the first real action they've taken, and hopefully it just escalates from here if/when he continues to operate. He's also been slapped with several charges so far, including the failure to even have a freaking business licence.

Both of Barrett's early decisions have been to kill people.

This one just floors me. There's multiple locations, they have staff, etc. There's so many steps along the way where this should have been flagged, and, yet . . . EDIT: So, it turns out, it was taken away from him on Tuesday.

COVID restrictions aside, he should not be allowed to re-open until he has a business license - and, considering his current behaviour, I would hope his applications would be denied. This dude should not be anyone's boss.

Yeah, I was just about to post this one too. Kenney and Co. make Ford look like he's at least trying something (slowly).
