Even "Restaurant employees necessary to support take-out and food delivery operations" is on the essential list.
Right, but the key is essential to Canada. They could argue they are providing an essential service to Canadians. Not essential to the person or their employer. Not merely because it is essential because one has to earn money to support their family. If that is the criteria, we are all essential workers.
