Peterborough Farmers’ Market Bans People With Medical Mask Exemptions — Time to Boycott & Strike Back Against the Corporate Bullies & Mask Fanatics
Recently, the Peterborough Regional Farmers’ Market opted to begin strictly enforcing Ontario’s mask mandate. The enforcement is so strict that even those with exemptions are barred from entering the building housing the market.

The new rules aren’t sitting well with some people who reached out to me about this seemingly discriminatory policy. They claim that these mask mandates are dividing the community and destroying businesses.

Yet, many of the vendors continue to support the measures. According to them, they’re just following the rules and doing what they have to do to protect others. So I went to the market to talk to people about what they thought about these rules. Here’s what they had to say:

As one protester succinctly stated, “the government doesn’t decide if I should fear or not.” But that is precisely what’s happening. While covering this protest, the police were actually called to enforce the mandate. Strangely enough, they did this under the guise of enforcing the Trespass to Property Act —

you can watch that video here. When did a medical exemption become a reason to issue a trespassing ticket? And who’s actually responsible for enforcing these regulations?
