Juno News - Show us the data and evidence

00:00:00.000 first it was just pushback now we are at outright civil disobedience when it comes to various

00:00:11.680 groups associations responding to the pandemic restrictions in our daily lives so to recap we

00:00:18.480 had a number of business associations mayors mpps even in ontario stepping forward and saying well

00:00:24.720 hold on a second we're not so sure about these various restrictions restaurants being shut down

00:00:29.920 can you show us the evidence can you show us the goods celebrity chef mark mckeon stepping forward

00:00:35.840 saying our cities are being ruined ottawa mayor jim watson brampton mayor patrick brown they've all

00:00:41.840 raised their hands and said hold on a second if we're going to shut down this that and the other

00:00:46.960 can you give us the data sets to actually prove that those places without a doubt do need to be

00:00:53.040 shut down because these are incredible steps we don't want to take them unless they are 100 necessary

00:00:59.520 that was where the conversation was at mere pushback until just recently when now we have

00:01:05.520 the civil disobedience component in quebec 200 fitness facilities gyms yoga studios martial arts

00:01:13.280 facilities they have banded together and they've said hey premier francois legault guess what even if

00:01:19.120 it is still technically illegal to open on thursday we are opening unless unless you can prove without a

00:01:27.200 doubt that we are causing outbreaks that we are the cause of these spreads because we humbly submit to

00:01:32.800 you that we are actually benefiting health physical health mental health by letting people come here

00:01:38.720 and get fitness in our facilities so forget the rules forget the laws we are opening hundreds of them

00:01:46.640 what's francois legault going to do well he said that that four week pause of those red alert zones

00:01:52.320 they're going to be continuing we just need another four weeks he says so yes we have to keep you shut

00:01:57.840 down and by the way we're going to be out in force we're going to be fining you basically we will

00:02:02.720 forcibly shut you down with tickets and so forth and bylaw or police presence unless you listen well

00:02:09.200 what do you think is going to happen because them's fighting words from those over 200 businesses

00:02:13.600 i guess they can send a couple hundred bylaw enforcement officers out there to make it happen

00:02:18.160 but here's the thing isn't it a pretty basic reasonable request show us the goods if you're

00:02:24.000 going to shut us down so what if lago can't present them but he shuts them down anyway what's

00:02:28.640 going to happen there's going to be some pretty severe images some pretty uh pretty angry business

00:02:33.760 owners who are out there being angry saying we will not accept this are we going to see other

00:02:39.360 people follow that path all across canada more disobedience more pushback to these rules

00:02:46.160 i think the request is quite a legitimate one show us the evidence or else let us do our thing so

00:02:52.880 definitely a bit of a shift in how various businesses and associations are responding to

00:02:57.840 these restrictions and boy they are certainly upping the ante
