  1. Not this again.
    Wake the hell up you Restauranteurs !!!! What’s it going to take other than a 2×4 across your face that this government be it federal or provincial doesn’t give a shit about you guys. I mean, it’s staring you right in the face and yet somehow you think there’s a silver lining in all of this if you can just hang on.
    Watch a hockey game tonight and you’ll get a sense of what’s really going on and who calls the tune.
    Pro tip: It ain’t you, chef.

    BTW…I visit the ORMHA and the Ontario Chamber of Commerce every single day hoping for a glint of rebellion as to how this government is working you over like rented mules. Nope. Nothing. Zip. Nada. Why it’s almost like they just don’t care.
    Take it up with them.

  2. Give them more money, never endingly?
    Let them go out of business. Let the important people be affected.

  3. I like this bit

    “Fine dining is going to completely change. It’s going to become casual fine dining. … I just had a management meeting, saying we have to be more accessible to people,” Mr. Vij said. “Allow them to come to the restaurant maybe once a month instead of every three months, or we won’t survive.”

    By the way, comments don’t seem to be open.

      1. Harper isn’t leader of the CPC anymore, it’s OToole and if this guy supports him then he hasn’t figured out what the problem is.

        This “problem” is manifesting itself primarily in those areas that elect progressives.

        Until that changes this is going to continue.

    1. You might want to tell them where to stick their vax passports. That would improve business not having a bureaucrat say who or who cannot eat in a restaurant. I can’t believe that this is Canada.

      1. Yes, and the deaths will be mounting because of government actions. A real flat curve.

  4. My heart bleeds.

    What about the restaurants that don’t serve overpriced food to parasites at someone else’s expense?

    1. Some of them are going down as well. Our favouite seafood place shut up shop at the end of 2020 after at least 20 years in business. And one strip mall I know lost a good pub, and interesting sushi place, and a Donair shop, none of which was that high end.

    2. Sorry, gotta reply. “If” I make a million bucks a year and employ 20,000 women in fashion for mid-career women and my company actually inspires women in business and I want to go to a high end restaurant. I’m not a parasite. Btw, this business no longer exists. CRA taxed waaaay more than you get taxed, equal citizen, who cough, never put that level of skin in the game. But at the end of the day it’s easy to complain about it from your meaner- damn autocorrect- meager perspective. But talk to my 20,000 ex employees that are out of work now because, though not in the restaurant business, can’t even afford McDonalds. Yeah, topple the entrepreneurs. Good logik. Comrade.

  5. Will they put tomato ketchup on the table to flavor the sauce with the overcooked spaghetti & meatless balls.

  6. The choice is clear-go out of business or ignore the ridiculous covid mandates.

    That should not be too difficult for a competent businessman, and given a good majority of businesses making the decision enforcement becomes impossible.

  7. Don’t they know that a successful small business model requires a money laundering component?

  8. Too bad, celebrity chefs with vanity restaurants.
    Wake the fuck up.
    We need mass civil disobedience on all fronts.
    Quit obeying.

  9. Also how many of these poor restauranteurs raised their voices in support of Adamson BBQ? Did they try to raise funds for the owner when the city decided to make an example off him?

    Crickets chirping.

    First they dame for the little guy who did not cater to the elites.

    See how it works? You’re next.

    1. You putting your livelyhood on the line to protest this? If not then by your own standard you’re with the covid facists

      1. Facepalm.
        One day someone may be bothered to explain logic to you, but it will not be I, as you’re not worth my time and I am all out of crayons anyway.

  10. L – All private businesses must bow down to and serve the state, just as in Communist China.
    In effect, no businesses will ever be private again. Profitable ? All wealth belongs to the state.

    Covid-19 exists to mask what the C.C.P. have done to, once free, Hong Kong.
    That worked so well, now the Lib/C.C.P. Alliance are bringing Canadians to heel, too.
    The term “Independent Business” , soon to be outlawed as hate speech.

    Only those businesses agreeing to work as Speech and Thought Police, as per Trudeau diktats will receive enough gov’t. money to survive. If you call that surviving.

  11. Of course none of this is going to encourage the growth of an underground economy.
    None at all.
