Wingham town staff have been getting hundreds of messages of support online via various platforms after it came out they were standing up for their Rights and the Rights of those they serve. Comments from coast to coast include “Thank you”, “God Bless Wingham town staff”, “I’m moving back to Wingham” and “THERE IS HOPE!”.
The first spark was ignited with a flag planted in a restaurant’s terrazzo dining room floor in Wingham, re-claiming that space in the name of the former Glorious & Free Canada. This triggered a tsunami of support from across Ontario that overwhelmed the small local diner. Several teary-eyed Veterans even stopped in to thank the owners for their service and standing up for everyone’s Rights, and state that they didn’t fight in the war for things to come to this. After the veterans’ visits there was absolutely zero chance the restaurant would ever back down.
The reality is, it is those veterans that went to Buck & Jo’s with their support that are responsible for inspiring so many from coast-to-coast. “We are only willing to sacrifice our time, business and livelihood, these veterans put us all to shame with the sacrifices they were willing to pay, and so many did pay.”
Shame on all those that don’t stand with our local Veterans, Town Staff, Rights Activists, nursing and expecting Mothers, and those unable or unwilling to participate in Doug Ford’s “Denial of Service Demand”.
Fight or surrender, those are still your only two options.
WFP has now had multiple verifications that all restaurants (national fast food chains excluded) in Wingham will not force their customers to disclose personal medical information or show photo ID for service. This means they will not discriminate against nursing and expecting mothers, privacy advocates, or anyone that doesn’t participate in Doug Ford’s unconstitutional vax-pass mandate.
The only hold-out in Wingham is the Legion (as of 24Oct2021). It is expected in the coming days the Legion too will stand for the Rights that so many paid so dearly for, and stand down when it comes to enforcing Doug Ford’s mandate. “Just following orders” is never an acceptable excuse.
North Huron town staff are standing their ground to defend their Rights, and yours. This is only the second time WFP has witnessed such heroism at this scale in the area. The first time was a few years ago when North Huron volunteer firefighters all resigned to send the strongest possible message to North Huron council. Sometimes those of good conscience must take a stand no matter the cost.
The majority North Huron town staff are refusing to disclose their personal medical information and not recognizing Doug Ford’s “vax-pass” mandate. According to sources, Huron Perth Public Health is not only refusing to do enforcement at Buck & Jo’s, they are now also refusing to enforce the mandate on all North Huron property, including the rec center. If they did attempt enforcement, it would cause a massive shutdown of our Community & government.
Those that stood against segregation and for our Charter Rights should consider this a massive victory. Please share ASAP, as this will not be allowed in most FB groups.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford has been publicly banned from Buck & Jo’s, a restaurant in the heart of Wingham, via a 12 foot banner on the building.
Congratulations you’ve found Buck & Jo’s Photo ID or health info NOT Required. We do not discriminate. If you have a problem with that, keep driving. Breakfast & lunch served all day! Everyone welcome except segregationists, pedophiles, racists & Doug Ford.
“If Doug Ford thinks he can tell me I can’t serve my friends and family in my own restaurant, he is clearly mental. If he thinks I’m (or anyone is) going to cook him a hot meal for $5-$10 while he is trying to force us to deny service to patriots, the homeless, nursing and expecting mothers, and others without a “vax-pass”, he is more stupid than he is plump and needs to be removed from office. It’s best for all if Doug Ford steers clear from Wingham. Everyone in Ontario needs to do what the Chiefs Of Police did when Ford wanted random police stops, and stand up to Doug Ford and openly refuse to comply. Anything else is an act of cowardice.”
