I have so many thoughts on the report from The province’s minimum wage “expert” panel. I FOIP’d this last year and was denied so this has been a rather fun read. They are saying so many of the quiet parts out loud. Especially pertaining to liquor servers/hospitality workers.

Just an FYI a mask mandate does nothing to protect restaurant workers unless they themselves are provided with and are able to wear respirators. The REP at least gave workers the comfort of knowing the room was vaxxed and full of people who care about other people.

This is bullshit. The majority of Canadians are vaccinated. Vaccine passports are restoring consumer confidence and contributing to the recovery. Advocating against PH measures that allow business to operate safely is advocating against small business.
Over 60% of businesses required to use vaccine passports report lower sales as a direct result (less than 10% saw an increase). Over half have faced abuse and/or increased costs.
