“The data from Toronto Public Health that came out two weeks ago shows that two of the over 10,000 Ontario COVID deaths were linked to bars, restaurants and retail. So why are we getting we getting singled out? And the big multinational corporations are all essential while they’re packed?” Skelly said.
And to nobody’s surprise, Adamson BBQ was shut down by the authorities.
