Ford Say He's Close To Removing “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service” Mandate At Restaurants, Cafes

By Gabriel Venneri

In an announcement earlier this week, Premier Doug Ford hinted that the province was “very close” to removing the “no shoes no shirt no service” mandates from restaurants, cafes, and bakeries.

“Folks, it’s been a tough couple of years with all of these mandates in place but we’re close to the end. We’ve gotten rid of the vaccine passport, the need for masks, and next to go will be shirts and shoes at places that serve food,” he said, “My friends, Ontario is getting stronger and I believe that shoes and shirts should be made optional.”

Pundits are calling out the Premier for bending to the convoy of hacky sack playing hippies that have plagued Queens Park for the last month.

“We believe our freedoms are being trampled upon, man” said convoy coordinator Starchild Moonbeam, “We’re fighting for the rights of all humankind to walk into any establishment they want to without having to don the shackles of shoes and shirts.”

“Everyone wants the hippie convoy to go away but this was a decision I came to on my own,” Ford said, before closing out his press conference by taking off his shirt and giving a shout out to Burger King’s new crunchy chicken sandwich, for some reason.
