But I figured if I’m going to fight or file to fight a ticket in court or do a Covid test I’m participating in their theatre either way. So I did the test but caused a bit of a ruckus and I think that’s what more people need to do so that they eventually get fed up and drop all the BS
When I did that at YYC in December, there were no police...just some unidentified dude in a yellow vest. No threat of a ticket or anything like that. I don't think Alberta is enforcing the Quarantine Act, but it looks like Ontario is. You're right - either way, it's theatre.
