Alrighty then.
So ridiculous. He obviously holds this event as a publicity stunt and then gets upset at reports. Bureaucrats say they have to "investigate". Sure, because it's not 100% obvious what is going on. Ford rants about the yahoos and hooligans and being strict but nothing is done. Tory furrows his brow and says he can't enforce fines. What a gong show.

Restaurant staff were chanting and wearing pig ears. I don’t think it could have gotten any worse.
Staff don’t need to be dragged out. The owner’s intentions were well publicized. It could have been shut down before it even got started. Police waited until it was well underway before attending.
And so what if they get dragged out. That would serve as a warning to all violators.
AoD
But again.. dragged out enforcing a City of Toronto by-law in response to a Government of Ontario mandated lockdown is a PR disaster. The City and Province would look like heartless bastards who chose to use force rather than compassion.
It's a delicate balance but you can't use force with everyone watching no matter how justified you may think it is.
Looks like Adamsons BBQ are getting the book thrown at them.
