RE: Adamson Barbeque: A Dangerous Protest. by Daniel Lis. Hamilton Spectator Op-ed of this date. Mr. Lis is a politics and governance graduate of Ryerson University, and holds a certificate in public policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Obviously, this makes him an expert is epidemiology.
Among his academic credentials, Daniel Lis failed to mention a minor in tap-dancing, a skill which he needed to put his argument. Lis argues that Adam Skelly had to be put down on the theory if he ran his food business, someone’s grandma would did of COVID in a LTC facility, somewhere. This strange argument is also made by alleged medical experts, and the politicians too bovine to disagree.
What Lis tap-danced around is that 400 meters from Skelly’s business is a Costco, with a food services court, that was operating, and the parking lot was full. But, you can’t close everything in the sake of “fairness” because that serves no one and would make buying essential goods more difficult and expensive. Huh? What has that got to do with Costco’s food court and the chain of causation from serving food to grandma’s death? Keep tapping and the crowd won’t notice!
Lis speaks of Skelly’s disregard for the law but fails to mention the disregard for the law in arresting Skelly and seizing his business. The police acted upon the direct orders of SS Obersturmbanfuhrer Dr. Eileen de Villa, Toronto Medical Officer of Heath, not upon the writ de Villa was supposed to obtain from a judge, but didn’t. The seizure of Skelly’s business premises is nowhere contemplated in law but was done anyway, again, without colour of judicial sanction.
Toronto police became the thugs for an unelected, unaccountable official. There’s no tap-dancing around that fact.
So much for a “free and democratic” society.
