If you were with us yesterday, you might have seen our post on Adamson Barbecue outside of Toronto and how a Toronto Star reporter seemed very personally offended and outraged that law enforcement toured the scene but didn’t shut the place down. There were toddlers there!
There are now people eating inside, in direct violation of provincial orders

Again, this restaurant is illegally allowing indoor dining and breaking city orders around mask wearing

It certainly was, and that was the point. Andy Ngo reports that the police did show up and warn patrons that they were in violation of the rules and could be charged for dining indoors.

Do you think they sent enough cops?
I would love to get a ticket for eating a plate of ribs.

Lol they are running out of scare tactics

Nice to see some Canadians aren’t complete push overs

What an absolute shitshow. What the hell are we doing?
— Lea Anne Jagger (@jaghag) November 25, 2020
And notice how many officers came with him?
— President Elect Renae (@heyrenae) November 25, 2020
Well they have to intimidate the patrons of course, itd be awkward if one guy showed up and no one even cared to look at them.

I love the guy chowing down in the background. ?

VEGETARIAN Toronto Police

Just set something on fire and chant BLM and the cops will leave.
— Rae Ann McCurry (@ramskates) November 25, 2020
It’s a protest
— Joe Biden Lies (@Cardsfan71) November 25, 2020
It actually is.
RESIST

I know it's Canada, but are criminals running wild while cops are busy enforcing these insane mandates?
— Abey (@Abey47367166) November 25, 2020
Police come in and even add more people to the crowd – while proclaiming the restaurant is overcrowded per Covid risk.
— MARK SPIKES (@Marktwitt99) November 25, 2020
At least the owner was wise enough to follow all protocols with the police. @cbc no doubt would say they were met with right wing agitators hurling racial abuse

I used to live in Canada, lovely country, but 99% are betas that do whatever the gov't tells them to do. They were neutered long ago.
— Shannon Ryan (@ThePostRanger) November 25, 2020
I lived there too. Totally agree with you.
— Marina B (@MarinaBCali) November 25, 2020
The police are only your friends as long as they are protecting your rights, not removing them. As we can see, that can be flipped on a dime.
— Marcus Grady (@realslimgrady__) November 25, 2020
Soooo did they leave or not? The suspense is killing me
— WeServivedObama (@Rev1Eight) November 25, 2020
no they did not. giant crowds outside waiting to enter
— Adam Dempsey (@dempseydmc) November 25, 2020
I’ve been a supporter of the police through all the hate this year, but if they’re going to be stupid enough to enforce these asinine rules they’re about to be too stupid for me.
— Ben (@BenBarton636) November 25, 2020
Why do the police do this?
— susan (@rockdog65) November 25, 2020
Put that rib down and step away.
— Diana Morrison (@GrandmaD62) November 25, 2020
That’s crazy but what’s even crazier is that there’s a place in Canada serving something it’s calling barbecue.
