00:00:00.000As most of you know, I'm a law-knower guy, and it is through that lens that I see most issues.
00:00:12.400A clear exception is the spectacle, or debacle if you will, that the Adamson barbecue situation in Toronto has become.
00:00:20.140A courageous business owner, Adam Skelly, has openly defied big government in their shutdown or lockdown rules across the GTA.
00:00:31.380Skelly owns Adamson barbecue in Etobicoke, and has refused to knuckle under to draconian government edicts and shut his business and his means of making a living down.
00:00:42.120The premier, Doug Ford, and the mayor of Toronto, John Tory, have both taken umbrage at this horrid little man that dares to defy them.
00:00:54.820Tory has sent in Toronto police for several days in a row now, and they have laid thus far nine charges that carry incredibly high fines against Skelly and his business.
00:01:06.860Fines that could bankrupt his business.
00:01:10.200All Skelly has done is to continue to cook slow-roasted barbecue beef and to serve his customers,
00:01:17.200who, by the way, have also been threatened with fines for the offense of showing up and buying some barbecue beef on a bun.
00:01:25.260Doug Ford should go searching for the common sense he once had when he came into office.
00:01:31.500Perhaps he left it in a jar behind an office door.
00:01:34.240This morning, after changing the locks on the restaurant yesterday, the Toronto police took Skelly away in handcuffs and shut the restaurant down again.
