Paying You To Stay Home

Not enough customers and even fewer staff. The war on small business is progressing nicely.

Some restaurants in the Ottawa area say they’re struggling to find enough staff — and are even having to close down for entire days — as COVID-19 pandemic restrictions ease and more people go out to eat again.

At The Barley Mow in Almonte, Ont., general manager Tracey Greer said they’re usually flooded with resumes in the spring but aren’t getting many this year.

The kitchen has been closing Mondays, only offering a small menu of sandwiches and kettle chips so staff can have a break, and also from 2 to 4 p.m. every day.

Those Trudeau votes aren’t going to buy themselves and your involuntary sacrifices are very much appreciated.

    1. Canadaians are more than willing to commit suicide by government. Stupid does not begin to describe what has been done with a bastardization of the good old flu.

  1. When Just-il and Chrystia NoddingHead keep handing out FREE MUNNY to stay home, extending beyond their uncalled election, it doesn’t take much to figure out why there’s a worker shortage.

    At least $1200 a month to sit at home, lay on the beach, and have mumsy and dadsy Liberal voters feed and house you. Just to “keep you safe”.

  2. Yep.

    Here in Lockdownistan, Trudeautopia (formerly Ontario, Canada) my brother (carpenter and volunteer fire fighter) and his wife went out to a well-deserved night out on Sunday while we watched the kids.

    They tried a half dozen places all closed, before they found a pizza joint.

    I’m glad the Smarts think this is sustainable.

  3. At least at home you don’t have to wear a mask. Yet. Who wants to work in food service and wear a mask for the entire shift, even outside? At my local Mickey D’s, they wear masks AND shields. Ontario is so effed up.

    1. OK, Canada has been an effed up country for a long time now. The terminally stupid have finally gotten control and they will kill us if we let them. People have to stand up and fight and that is not by voting. Get up, get out, get in their faces, refuse to comply. That is the only way back.

  4. Yup. turdo directing the assault with Pinky and Singhalong covering the flanks.

    And on the provincial fronts it’s the same story. In some cases it may be a Conservative putting the torch to everything, but they’re doing it with the full support of their totalitarian brethren in Opposition.
