Stand with Adam Skelly

Ontario Reopening Act – Lockdowns- Shutting down small business

Mar 9, 2024

In 2020, Adam Skelly was one of the first people in Canada or the world to stand against the medical deception and tyranny of the covid-19 agenda. This quite restaurant owner, husband and father became the tip of a spear against authoritarianism, lawlessness and human rights violations.

We know the arch-criminals of covid, are plotting against us still. The WHO’s Pandemic Preparedness Treaty and IHR amendments; mRNA factories being built all around the world; continued gain of function research; and the WEF telegraphing “disease X” are clear evidence of this.

Adam Skelly is still the tip of a vital spear in Ontario and Canada; the tip of this spear is placed against the heart of a criminal conspiracy and abuse of power that has hurt all of us, left many injured, and cost others their lives.

If Adam and his team succeed, as they should, in their legal challenge against the province of Ontario, the attorney general, and public health for their abuse of us all using the “re-opening act”; then all of us and our children are safer moving forward. Please grab onto this spear and put your weight into it.  

Adam Skelly is a humble man who choose to stand up for what is right. Though he has risked by far the most in this situation; it is everyone of us who stand to be either liberated or trampled on depending on the outcome.

Please support Adam Skelly’s fight for all of us in whatever way you can. Below is an important message from all of us at Take Action Canada. 

The stakes are high and we need your financial support for a legal challenge against the province of Ontario, the Attorney General, and Public Health for instituting the Re-Opening Ontario Act Regulation 82/20 during Covid.

This Orwellian regulation provided the government with broad power to shut down businesses and limit organized events and gatherings. Since the height of the “medical emergency”, the data has demonstrated that these lockdown provisions destroyed small businesses, families, mental health, and the economy. It became a perfect example of the “cure” being worse than the disease. This is a fact that has been corroborated by experts with data now that enough time has passed to reflect.

You may remember the plight of Adam Skelly. He was a conscientious objector who put himself, his family, and his business all on the line, on our behalf, to fight against the lockdown. In November 2020, when Regulation 82/20 was starting to be enforced, Adam decided to defy the government at great personal and financial risk and announced that he was keeping his small restaurant open for business. Adamson BBQ remained open and like-minded people came from all over to show their support. Adam’s defiance of the regulation became a rallying cry for many individuals and small businesses. The media portrayed Adam as irresponsible and a criminal for defying the orders.

The police fined him many times, but he continued to remain open. When the fines didn’t work, the police changed his locks in the middle of the night in order to lock him out of his business. With everything to lose, Adam broke into his own restaurant and reopened. Adam’s defiance was receiving national press so the now disgraced Major Tory and the Toronto Police decided to make an example of him to send a message to all small businesses in the province. In a sinister example of overkill, the police sent approximately 250 police officers, horses, and cruisers to his restaurant to arrest him. The images from that evening were plastered all over social media and the mainstream media. Adam never recovered from the loss.

Adam Skelly’s challenges may be the impetus for this lawsuit, but he is taking it forward courageously on all of our behalf and with the support of the Concerned Constituent of Canada (CCCan).

There are over 400,000 small businesses (categorized as 1 – 99 employees) in Ontario.

According to Statistics Canada, 19.8% of all small businesses with 1-19 employees shut down during the lockdowns.

13.4% of small businesses with 20-99 employees were lost.

These shutdowns didn’t just affect the business owners. The closing of each business creates cascading ramifications for their employees’ and suppliers’ livelihoods. Many survived on government handouts, but the bill has come due.

Bankruptcies are on a 10-year high, up 55% year over year.

It is estimated that small businesses are carrying an average of $190,000 in Covid debt with another 18.5% of small businesses considering declaring bankruptcy now that the government programs have subsided. The CERB program just kicked the can down the road.

We need to seize this opportunity to ensure that this does not happen again. That the next time, and there will be a next time, governmental powers will be limited and the standard of proof will be higher

The time is now. Please defend our future by donating to support this important legal challenge by etransfer to donations@takeactioncanada.ca or with a debit/credit card.

Thank you for your support

CAFE Endorsed & Supported Freedom Fighter Adam Skelly’s New Year’s Even Toronto Fundraiser

CAFE Endorsed & Supported Freedom Fighter Adam Skelly’s New Year’s Even Toronto Fundraiser

The Canadian Association for Free Expression had a number of associates, including Director Paul Fromm, at a Scarborough fundraiser for freedom fighter Adam Skelly New Year’s Eve.

The City of Toronto and Province of Ontario came down on Adam Skelly like ten tonnes of bricks.  The government brought six, separate legal proceedings against him for daring to dissent.

Why? To single him out. To make an example of him. To punish him for just saying NO. Adam was the first person in North America to be arrested for disobeying public health orders. In the age of COVID-19 tyranny and totalitarianism, dissent and debate are no longer permitted.

The government hit. And we hit back.  Last year, CCOC helped Adam retain new counsel. We are determined to be heard – and will be heard. 

We are challenging the Reopening Ontario Act, its lockdown regulation 82/20, and Toronto’s Medical Officer of Health authority on legal and            constitutional grounds.   Here is a link to our Notice of Application:

https://pdfhost.io/v/tvIE3~IXd_Notice_of_Application_Form_14E

We retained six PhD experts to submit evidence that strongly challenges the Great Lie. This evidence has yet to be heard in court.  It is irrefutable.  All the legal documents, including the expert evidence, are as follows:

CHALLENGING THE GREAT LIE

As many of you know, the City of Toronto and Province of Ontario came down on Adam Skelly like ten tonnes of bricks.  The government brought six, separate legal proceedings against him for daring to dissent.

Why? To single him out. To make an example of him. To punish him for just saying NO. Adam was the first person in North America to be arrested for disobeying public health orders. In the age of COVID-19 tyranny and totalitarianism, dissent and debate are no longer permitted.

The government hit. And we hit back.  Last year, CCOC helped Adam retain new counsel. We are determined to be heard – and will be heard. 

We are challenging the Reopening Ontario Act, its lockdown regulation 82/20, and Toronto’s Medical Officer of Health authority on legal and            constitutional grounds.   Here is a link to our Notice of Application:

https://pdfhost.io/v/tvIE3~IXd_Notice_of_Application_Form_14E

We retained six PhD experts to submit evidence that strongly challenges the Great Lie. This evidence has yet to be heard in court.  It is irrefutable.  All the legal documents, including the expert evidence, are as follows:

Skelly vs. ROA Case Documents and Information

https://fearlesscanada.org/skelly-vs-roa/embed/#?secret=ocb9oI4Iyb#?secret=mDgwnN3r5T

We are looking to raise $50,000 in total to see this challenge through, and to counter and prevail against the Great Lie.

This consists of the following:

  • Costs ordered of $15,000 on the original injunction
  • Costs ordered of $15,000 on the failure to be heard on June 28th, 2021
  • Security for costs of $15,000 to proceed with this challenge
  • $5000 for our experts to submit their replies

Freedom isn’t free. Privacy isn’t free. The truth isn’t free.  And justice isn’t free.  We must fight to defend it.  We must fight to the end

WHAT IS NEXT

As long as the Great Lie remains, these measures can easily be resurrected. They have become a precedent and backed strongly by governments worldwide. Strong, new legal challenges have been brought against the remaining measures; but unfortunately, none of them take aim at the narrative. None of them challenge the Great Lie. It must not and cannot be allowed to stand. The only way to guarantee NEVER AGAIN is to challenge the Great Lie officially in court. That will be the only way to NEVER FORGET.

Do not consent. Do not comply. Do not obey. NEVER GIVE IN.

Thank you for your defiance and Godspeed,
Concerned Constituents of Canada

BBQ & NEW YEAR’S EVE FUNDRAISER FOR ADAM SKELLY

Posted on by

Before “vax passes” and the Canadian Truckers’ convoy, there was Adamson’s BBQ.

Before “vax passes”, and  before the Canadian Truckers’ convoy, there was Adamson’s BBQ. One Canadian man, Adam Skelly, stood against the tyranny. He said “No!” and took on the fight for all of our rights.

Currently the WHO and their accomplices are plotting more viruses, lockdowns, and forced injections. Meanwhile, Skelly and his team are fighting in the Canadian courts to defend our fundamental rights and freedoms.

I’ll be attending and speaking at the Adam Skelly BBQ Rebellion New Year’s Eve Fundraiser in Toronto. Please join us if you can. There is a simultaneous event in Windsor Ontario.

To purchase tickets for New Years Eve please call or text Jody Ledgerwood at 905-269-7653 for Toronto tickets; and call or text Sharon Peters at 519-816-8972 for Windsor tickets.

More Information

Here is a message directly from The Adam Skelly New Year’s Event Organizers

To Our Freedom Family & Friends,

Before you is an OFFICIAL UPDATE and an invitation to celebrate.  After almost 3 years of fundraising, roadblocks and legal proceedings, the only case the government tried to delay and make disappear, will FINALLY HAVE ITS DAY IN COURT!  The Adamson Barbecue Challenge is scheduled to be heard on October 1st, 2nd, and 7th of 2024!  If you are reading this, it’s because you contributed to and/or supported the cause – OUR CAUSE – to call out the Great Lie and hold this government to account. https://youtu.be/RYeXpoZ5jL0

This challenge would have long been dead in the water, had it not been for the incredible determination and conviction of our legal team, the CCOC and the generosity of our Donors, who understood that no other challenge like this – WITH THE EVIDENCE – exists ANYWHERE in North America, possibly the world.  The end of 2022 saw the combined efforts of Windsor/Essex and our friends in the Greater Toronto Area, raising just enough funds to satisfy the court demands and secure a hearing date.     

While we wait for Adam’s case to be heard, the government and the media have ramped up reports of a “new mysterious illness” affecting China and the state of Ohio, and have recently resurrected news of the “swine flu”.  The implication, of course, is that “masks, lockdowns, and new vaccines” are imminent.  We’ve heard this before with Delta, Omicron, Monkeypox etc…  The only way to stop them from completely destroying small businesses, and eventually our sovereignty, is to legally challenge their lies in a court of law WITH THE EVIDENCE.  We have some of the world’s best PhD experts – and they have brought the evidence.  The government cannot touch the evidence.  October 2024 can’t come fast enough. (for more details and updates on the Challenge please visit https://www.cccan.org )

There is much reason to celebrate, my friends!  With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, what better opportunity than to celebrate 2024 together, breaking bread, dancing, and toasting one another on history in the making!   

Join us for our New Year’s Eve Bash and Fundraiser!  It’s going to be a great night with a delicious meal, music, dancing, games, 50/50 draws, midnight snacks, midnight toast etc.    

Tickets must be reserved by December 15th for Windsor and December 20th for Toronto.  Only 200 tickets will be sold for each event. The deadline is fast approaching, so do not delay, order yours today! RSVP to this email or call/text Jody at 905-269-7653 to help fund the ONLY legal challenge calling out The Great Lie that was Covid-19 and the ruinous “pandemic measures” that bankrupted so many businesses and destroyed so many lives.

Stand up now because many other businesses will sadly follow when their government loans (given out during the pandemic) come due.  Adam Skelly and Adamson Barbecue, with the help of the Concerned Constituents of Canada, will fight to the end and hold the government to account with this challenge.

We look forward to being heard in court in 2024.  We hope to see you for New Year’s Eve to celebrate! Please share this with your family and friends.

***All profits from this event will go directly to the Concerned Constituents of Canada – A federally incorporated, non-for-profit corporation, volunteer run and official sponsor of the Adamson Barbecue Challenge – ensuring ALL monies are paid towards having this challenge heard in 11 months***

The Province is fighting hard to break us financially and have the challenge dismissed due to a lack of funding.  We NEED to raise, at a minimum $32,000 for the security of costs motion the Province just won against us and $15,000 for legal fees currently owing to our lawyer, the incredible Ian Perry (who has a proven track record for winning cases in the courts for “pandemic” victims) before January 10th, 2024.

If you cannot make it, please considering donating any amount directly by e-transfer, to: ccoc4freedom@protonmail.com  

Or donate any amount to the GiveSendGo hosted by the Concerned Constituents of Canada at:  https://www.givesendgo.com/bbq_rebellion

Please consider sharing this message with your sphere of influence.  Let’s get the word out and remind people there is still hope and people still care enough to stand up for them and their children! You are not alone!

God bless you and thank you.

Ridiculous procedural excuse to boot Adamson case out of Court

Posted on by

Ridiculous procedural excuse to boot Adamson case out of Court

You mean to tell me that his team of topflight lawyers FORGOT ? to put in a Notice of Constitutional Question? !
I hardly think so.

This is only the beginning. The tyrants who have trampled our rights these last 15 months simply don’t want this case to see the light of day.

In November 2020, Skelly’s restaurant in west Toronto became a high-profile flashpoint when he defied orders to close indoor dining to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Anti-lockdown protesters clashed with police, who arrived in large numbers to enforce compliance.

Skelly became an early focus of anti-lockdown anger. He maintains the order and the government’s response were unjustified and unconstitutional.

The city sought a court order restraining Skelly and his company, Adamson Barbecue Limited, from contravening the Reopening Ontario Act, the province’s regulations on what can and cannot be done in the fight against the virus that causes COVID-19.

That restraining order, opposed by Skelly, is what brought the parties to court Monday, but for Skelly, it was about far more than his ability to serve food without government permission.

Leading up to Monday’s hearing, Adamson Barbeque’s website was pushing his legal case along with his brisket and short ribs, a court challenge branded the “the BBQ Rebellion.”

“My lawsuit has very little to do with my restaurant. It is a constitutional question of the Reopening Ontario Act, and the evidence (or lack thereof) used to justify it,” Skelly said in a written statement prior to the hearing’s start.

“If this challenge is successful, entrepreneurs can reopen their restaurants, bars, gyms and salons, children can go back to school, and everyone can gather together to celebrate, mourn and worship.”

He refers to it as Canada’s most important constitutional case.

“My lawyers tell me that the courts tend to rule with public opinion. While the tides are turning, the media won’t report any counter-narrative, so much of the public consciousness in Canada is still blanketed by fear. I’ve done the best I can to disseminate this information, the rest is up to us on the big day,” he wrote to supporters.

In response, his case attracted a rush of interest.

People logging in to watch the online hearing quickly exceeded the maximum capacity of 500 long before court started, meaning there wasn’t room for the judge or the province’s lead lawyer to be let into the hearing.

Most observers seemed to be Skelly supporters. One man was wearing a gas mask until the court asked cameras be turned off to reduce broadcast bandwidth. The online names of some observers included Open Ontario, Ontario Stands with Adam, WhoDoYouServe, GoAdamGo, Dr. Freedom, SeeThe Truth and Let’s Go Adam!!!!.

Story continues below https://bf17d5dfbc252b9cabb3b4dfbcd90b72.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html

A plea from the court registrar for some to volunteer to leave eventually allowed the judicial participants in, and for the hearing to convene.

Observers didn’t get the fireworks or debate they had hoped for. Instead, they got a muted argument over judicial jurisdiction.

Zachary Green, representing the province of Ontario, argued there was no procedural basis to entertain Skelly’s constitutional objections.

He said Skelly has not embarked on any court application claiming relief against the province, he has only contested Ontario’s motion against him and his restaurant. Green said that violates established rules of procedure.

In court materials, the province said Skelly’s wide objections about the COVID response — called “far-fetched grievances” — far exceed the scope of the government’s action against him, which is only to close his restaurant, when everyone is told to, for health reasons.

“Indeed, they are vexatious,” the government’s court filing says.

Michael Swinwood, representing Skelly, replied that the constitutional element of Skelly’s defence has been clear from the start. If the province objected to his constitutional questions, they should have asked a judge to strike them out of their reply to the court.

“It is straightforward, and we complied with what was asked of us,” Swinwood told court.

Pre-trial procedures, including judicial case management conferences and the examination and cross-examination of expert witnesses, went ahead arguing the wider constitutional issues without any complaint or objection from the province, he said.

“It was always understood to be a notice for constitutional relief,” Swinwood said.

In court materials, Swinwood said the government’s responses to COVID-19 were not based on scientific principles or respect for human rights and are more intrusive than available alternatives.

“The epidemic of fear has ruled people and governments, and not sound scientific analysis,” Skelly’s materials say.

Judge Jasmine Akbarali, of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, briefly adjourned court to deliberate before returning with her verdict.

“I regret to say, I do not think I have the jurisdiction to proceed to deal with these issues on their merits today,” she said.

“I do not think the hearing has been constituted in such a way to give me that jurisdiction, and it is in nobody’s interest to go ahead with the two-day hearing that is easily vulnerable on appeal on the basis that I didn’t have jurisdiction.”

Written reasons were to be issued later.

Supporters of Skelly seemed upset with the ruling.

“Bullshit,” said one to the court. “This is injustice,” said another. The hearing was terminated just as many others were unmuting their microphones.

After court, Skelly’s lawyer expressed dissatisfaction with the outcome.

“The courts have no appetite for constitutional challenges to COVID-19 lockdowns and protocols,” Swinwood told National Post.

“Technical procedure is to rule over substance. Our freedoms are in peril and the court refused to take jurisdiction over the matter despite the rules that are designed to be flexible so that serious matters can be heard and not summarily dealt with.

“There is something deeply amiss,” he said.

Green deferred to the Ministry of the Attorney General’s spokesman for comment on the case. The ministry declined to comment, “as this matter is before the court,” said spokesman Brian Gray.

On Twitter, Adamson Barbecue’s branded account has been railing against COVID restrictions and related issues, including vaccinations, which they call “experimental gene therapy.”

The matter is expected to return to court at a later date, once a constitutional application is filed in the court.

UPDATE ON ADAMSON BARBECUE LEGAL DEFENCE FUND: As of December13, $334, 550 Raised

UPDATE ON ADAMSON BARBECUE LEGAL DEFENCE FUND:  As of December13, $334, 550 Raised http://cafe.nfshost.com/?p=5190

UPDATE ON ADAMSON BARBECUE LEGAL DEFENCE FUND:  As of December13, $334, 550 Raised Barry posted a new update to Adamson BBQ Legal Defence Fund

13, 2020 Alright, alright.

Enough of you have said that you don’t want me to take this GoFundMe campaign down on December 19.

You told me that you want to give monthly, or weekly.

And you said that the ongoing success of this campaign stands as a daily reminder to the political class that we’ve all had enough.

Well, there is one more valid reason to keep this campaign active.

Adam’s counsel called me yesterday informing me that bylaw officers and government officials have made it their mission in life to attend each of Adam’s locations every single day in an effort to find something legitimate to complain about and exhaust his financial resources.

That’s right.

Rather than respond to your support with an effort to understand the needs of small business, the Tory and Ford governments have started to use the power of your tax dollars to crush the one small business person who is out there taking a stand.

So yes, I will keep this campaign active.

Even better, I have raised the stretch target to $500,000.

And Adam’s attorney assures me that every single dollar raised is going straight into a Trust account to fight this asymmetric COVID regime.

Our effort has been described as a “David & Goliath battle” by the national press.

Well, we all know who won that fight.

So let’s keep this campaign running.

Let’s commit today to a monthly donation of $20, $10, $5 or whatever you can afford.

If each one of you contributes just $20 per month, this campaign grows by $126,000 per month.

If each one of you contributes just $10 per month, this campaign grows by $68,000 per month.

And if each one of you contributes just $5 per month, this campaign grows by $34,000 per month!

No donation is too small.

Even better, those monthly donations keep this effort at the top of GoFundMe’s “popular campaigns” page, maximizing our international reach and reminding our politicians that we’re not going away.

For those of you who prefer to pay via PayPal, we will be opening an account for that purpose.

So please, do not set this letter aside.

Let’s keep this issue front and centre in the public mind.

And let’s refuse to let Big Government use our own money to steamroller the voice of small business.

Thank you so much.
by Barry McNamar, Organizer

Amidst the slough of politicians, media and citizen fear mongers supporting irrational COVID  “public health orders” that shut down small businesses while allowing corporate big-box stores to remain open… one small business is standing up for the rights of the “little guys” like you and me to get out and earn a living too.

Ontario’s Adamson BBQ has been opening every day to serve people lunch. And owner Adam Skelly is paying a high price for carrying that cudgel of liberty. Over the past 24 hours he’s been hit with numerous fines totalling tens of thousands of dollars for violating unconstitutional and draconian COVID “public health orders.”

All because he refuses to let your politicians—who are out there enjoying their fat salaries that we all pay for, wag their fingers at us and tell us we don’t have a right to earn a living too. After all, “we’re all in this together” right?

I don’t know him but I do know that guys like Adam are in short supply during this overblown COVID nonsense. And he deserves our support. 

So c’mon.

If we’re not going to be out there leading by example, let’s at least kick in $100, $75, $50 or whatever you can afford to help Adam fight this fight for us. 

If we’re not willing to kick in a few bucks to help Adam fight for our freedoms, then maybe we don’t deserve them. 

Don’t put this aside for later. Every fine, every police visit, every daily scolding by some fat cat politician is chipping away at Adam’s courage. Show him that he’s not alone.

Donate now.

Update on Adamson Legal Defence Fund — $325,496 Donated by Sunday, December 6, 2020h

Posted on by

Good afternoon!

As you can see by the latest update, Adam has now taken ownership of the GoFundMe account, enabling me to back away.

This could not have come at a better time as I am out of the country now and accessing internet to provide the updates is not conventionally reliable.

All good things must come to an end and our GoFundMe effort is no exception.

So, I have set a date of December 19 to close out the GoFundMe effort.

This platform is not a perpetual hosting service and I think we can all agree that our campaign underpromised and more than overdelivered on the fundraising front.

The rest is up to Adam and his attorneys.

As you know, our initial campaign goal was $10,000. This number was chosen to present an achievable figure.

Once we had exceeded $290,000 I then set a “stretch target”— a target that, if achieved, would blow opponents out of the water and send an unmistakable message to our politicians that small business owners are sick and tired of being screwed.

Well, donations have slowed and we may not reach that full $350,000 stretch target.

But that’s ok.

In just one day last week, you all gave that one final push and brought us up more than $30,000!

Thanks to you, Adam should now have enough money to take this fight, if necessary, right to the Supreme court.

You should all be very proud.

I know that I am.

I am also extremely thankful to all of you for answering the call of an old political hack like me to help a fellow out who is fighting the good fight for every single one of us.

So, thank you.

Thank you for your financial support.

Thank you for your words of encouragement.

And thank you for your good faith that the funds would be used as intended.

As you have all heard from Adam personally, the funds are going into a legal trust to support this battle for equal treatment of all businesses under the law.

They cannot be clawed back by the noisy crowd of activists who are typically anti-everything but for some reason support greater government intrusion into our daily lives.

Now, before December 19, there are a few people who have offered to maintain your donor database in order to keep you all up to date on Adam’s progress.

I will be reaching out to them and to Adam to see whom he prefers to represent his good name going forward.

It is my sincere hope that you will all be kept in the loop every step of the way.

Indeed, I hope this movement grows larger than our 6,500 donors and is joined by the more than 36,000 people who have shared this campaign so far.

And I would encourage you all, to give this campaign one final “hurrah.”

Your legacy contribution of $30, $20, $10 or whatever you can afford can push this effort to the top and allow us to close with a bang.

Thank you again to my friends, both old and new, for answering the call.

And thank you again, for uniting behind this once-in-a-lifetime call to action for Adam.

From the bottom of my heart.

Barry McNamar

Today by Adam Skelly, Adam Skelly, the Barbecue COVID Rebel, Thanks Supporters — ” I did not expect this kind of support and I am so fired up! I could feel the love from [my] cell.”

Barry (McNamar), thank you so much for taking your time to set this up for me. It’s been a hectic week and it was a huge load off my shoulders knowing that this was in good hands.

I did not expect this kind of support and I am so fired up! I first found out the crowdfunding while I was in custody- the officers were updating me through the night. I could feel the love from the cell and it helped me get through the 30 hours in great spirits.

Thank you all for seeing through the collective hysteria and supporting our cause. I promise you I will fight this battle to the best of my abilities and honor your contributions.

FYI- 170k has cleared and a transfer to a trust account is pending. The legal fund is safe from attack.

Adamson BBQ Legal Defence Fund Reaches $310,209 — Organizer Refuses Leftists’ Ploy of Dividing & Criticizing Supporters & Resists Censors’ Efforts to Pressure GoFundMe to Shut Down These Freedom Fighters

Adamson BBQ Legal Defence Fund Reaches $310,209 — Organizer Refuses Leftists’ Ploy of Dividing & Criticizing Supporters & Resists Censors’ Efforts to Pressure GoFundMe to Shut Down These Freedom Fighters

Good morning folks,

Well, here we are at $303,000!

Thank you sincerely for all that you have done to make this effort a success.

Now, over the past days, I have been asked to comment on various rumours and perceived controversies.

Well, I won’t do it.

From the beginning I have asked you to fund the fight to challenge asymmetric COVID regulations in the courts.

I have asked you to do that by contributing to the Adamson BBQ Legal Defence Fund.

And you have all responded in kind.

Today I want to stand by that ask.

And thank all of you for your extremely generous support, with the utmost sincerity.

During my career, I have found myself outside the good graces of the compact majority.

Not often, but enough for it to matter.

It is the nature of having a successful career in politics and policy. Well, any successful career really.

I have been the subject of rumours, media scrutiny and even legal claims that were, at the end of the day, exposed as utter bullshit and were withdrawn without prejudice.

But not before they took their toll on my interpersonal relationships with my children, my spouse, my friends, my colleagues and my clients.

And I will never use any platform to do that to another man.

Nor will I use any platform to perpetuate those claims.

Why? Because at the end of the day, they exist to weaken our resolve and encourage us to just give up.

Public relations is war. Right now, we are engaged in a war with the most powerful adversary there is— government.

This is an institution with the power to use our own money against us.

So today I want to express to you all that I stand by Adam in his fight for the fair treatment of small business.

Really, if we do not have the courage to stand by our convictions when the going gets tough, then we have no business in the fight.

I will be ceasing the campaign within the next week.

Before I do, I would really love for us to hit that $350,000 target.

This is going to be a tough battle and I would hate to see it stall out for lack of resources.

For those of you, like me, whose resolve has only been strengthened by the recent petition campaign to “defund” our fight, I hope you will give one last time.

If each of us who receives this update contributed just $7 today, we would reach our goal.

Are you with me? Do you #standbyadam?
