Adamson BBQ Legal Defence Fund<\/a> <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n13, 2020 Alright, alright.
\nEnough of you have said that you don\u2019t want me to take this GoFundMe campaign down on December 19.
\nYou told me that you want to give monthly, or weekly.
\nAnd you said that the ongoing success of this campaign stands as a daily\n reminder to the political class that we\u2019ve all had enough.
\nWell, there is one more valid reason to keep this campaign active.
\nAdam\u2019s counsel called me yesterday informing me that bylaw officers and \ngovernment officials have made it their mission in life to attend each \nof Adam\u2019s locations every single day in an effort to find something \nlegitimate to complain about and exhaust his financial resources.
\nThat\u2019s right.
\nRather than respond to your support with an effort to understand the \nneeds of small business, the Tory and Ford governments have started to \nuse the power of your tax dollars to crush the one small business person\n who is out there taking a stand.
\nSo yes, I will keep this campaign active.
\nEven better, I have raised the stretch target to $500,000.
\nAnd Adam\u2019s attorney assures me that every single dollar raised is going \nstraight into a Trust account to fight this asymmetric COVID regime.
\nOur effort has been described as a \u201cDavid & Goliath battle\u201d by the national press.
\nWell, we all know who won that fight.
\nSo let\u2019s keep this campaign running.
\nLet\u2019s commit today to a monthly donation of $20, $10, $5 or whatever you can afford.
\nIf each one of you contributes just $20 per month, this campaign grows by $126,000 per month.
\nIf each one of you contributes just $10 per month, this campaign grows by $68,000 per month.
\nAnd if each one of you contributes just $5 per month, this campaign grows by $34,000 per month!
\nNo donation is too small.
\nEven better, those monthly donations keep this effort at the top of \nGoFundMe\u2019s \u201cpopular campaigns\u201d page, maximizing our international reach \nand reminding our politicians that we\u2019re not going away.
\nFor those of you who prefer to pay via PayPal, we will be opening an account for that purpose.
\nSo please, do not set this letter aside.
\nLet\u2019s keep this issue front and centre in the public mind.
\nAnd let\u2019s refuse to let Big Government use our own money to steamroller the voice of small business.
\nThank you so much.
\nby Barry McNamar, Organizer\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amidst the slough of politicians, media and citizen fear mongers \nsupporting irrational COVID \u201cpublic health orders\u201d that shut down small\n businesses while allowing corporate big-box stores to remain open… \none small business is standing up for the rights of the \u201clittle guys\u201d \nlike you and me to get out and earn a living too.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ontario\u2019s Adamson BBQ has been opening every day to serve people \nlunch. And owner Adam Skelly is paying a high price for carrying that \ncudgel of liberty. Over the past 24 hours he\u2019s been hit with numerous \nfines totalling tens of thousands of dollars for violating \nunconstitutional and draconian COVID \u201cpublic health orders.\u201d\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All because he refuses to let your politicians\u2014who are out there \nenjoying their fat salaries that we all pay for, wag their fingers at us\n and tell us we don\u2019t have a right to earn a living too. After all, \n\u201cwe\u2019re all in this together\u201d right?
I don\u2019t know him but I do \nknow that guys like Adam are in short supply during this overblown COVID\n nonsense. And he deserves our support. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So c\u2019mon.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we\u2019re not going to be out there leading by example, let\u2019s at least\n kick in $100, $75, $50 or whatever you can afford to help Adam fight \nthis fight for us. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we\u2019re not willing to kick in a few bucks to help Adam fight for our freedoms, then maybe we don\u2019t deserve them. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t put this aside for later. Every fine, every police visit, every\n daily scolding by some fat cat politician is chipping away at Adam\u2019s \ncourage. Show him that he\u2019s not alone.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donate now.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
