Of course they're under stress. That's no excuse to sicken others. If it comes down to a choice between your business and a Canadian's life, I'm going to choose to sacrifice your business, sorry. And it's not like there aren't numerous programs to aid small business.

All the other arguments that Costco is open etc are rubbish. In Costco you generally pass by someone for a few seconds and don't talk to them. What was happening in restaurants was 2-3 households were gathering per table for 1-2 hours and talking and eating. A perfect recipe for virus transmission.

As someone pointed out the sheer number of unmasked people at that rally revealed their true nature. I hope the city and province come down on them like a ton of bricks. If I was the province I'd open up their landlords to legal action if they don't comply. That would shut them down ASAP.
