On Thursday, John Tory, Toronto's mayor, talked about his concerns regarding a protest being planned for this coming weekend in the city's Queen's Park.
“Any protest in the area of Queen’s Park absolutely cannot block off access to the hospitals around the legislature," commented Tory over Zoom.
According to CityNews Toronto, "While Tory stressed he 'cannot direct police enforcement,' he said he 'made it clear to Chief Ramer that we must do everything we can to avoid the type of situation currently faced by Ottawa residents and businesses.'"
There have been no reports of lack of access to emergency services during the Ottawa protests. They have also been
"People should not be blocked from receiving emergency care or any medical care and hospital workers, who have been frontline heroes throughout the pandemic, should be able to freely and safely come and go from their workplace," continued Mayor Tory in his discourse.
Tory then talked about the recent lifting of yet another lockdown in the province of Ontario, stating, "This weekend marks the first weekend that many businesses are able to be open, including restaurants and indoor dining."
"The notion that any protest would keep these businesses — hit hard by the pandemic — from being open or drive customers away is unacceptable," Tory went on, once again, despite there not being any reports of inconformity with the protests from any of these business owners, or any evidence of their businesses being negatively affected.
In fact, a recent poll shows that the majority of Canadians agree with the protestors, thinking that the time has come to end all restrictions due to the pandemic.
