why no outdoor dining?
- iujjkfjdkkdkf 6y agoIt's about a show of authority, it has nothing to do with public health? Also who does it apply to jurisdictions that don't have a covid problem? The government is trying to placate frightened Torontonians and entrenched business interests, on the backs of the rest of the province. This is becoming such a joke, I hope at this point people are just ignoring it.

- gpm 6y agoProbably because the last time they opened outdoor dining restaurants made "outdoor" tents with no ventilation that were practically equivalent to indoor dining. Unfortunately, government regulation is a blunt tool by nature.
- kasey_junk 6y agoThe restaurant staff that enable outdoor dining work inside, in close proximity to each other & frequently can’t afford to take sick time. The real question is what the province is going to do to help the workers & business owners in those industries.
- frockington1 6y agoRight, if they can't afford to take sick time they probably can't afford to not work for four weeks. Any idea if the government is helping these people at all? I didn't see any mention of businesses or employees in the article
- chc 6y agoCanada has a bunch of covid impact programs (https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/economic-response-plan.html https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/economic-respons...), as well as normal unemployment insurance. I can't speak on the experience of actually using them, but they are there.
- guyzero 6y agoOntario won't do anything. The continuing case count is the direct consequence of the Ford government not spending the money they've been given by the Federal government.
