Residents and businesses in Ontario are pushing through the beginning of yet another full shutdown for all regions, and with more measures on the way today, people seem more weary than ever of what feels like an endless battle.
The tension is perhaps more palpable at this juncture than ever, with some advocating for fewer restrictions (or simply for better targeted restrictions) and others asking for more.
Among the calls to action is a new petition to end the forced shuttering of small businesses across the province, which has garnered 53,000 signatures and counting within just three days.

TORONTO - Ontario s restaurant industry is demanding the provincial government pick up a $100-million tab following the abrupt closure of indoor and outdoor dining last week.
Restaurants Canada and the Ontario Restaurant Hotel & Motel Association say that the province s decision to pull the emergency brake to slow the spread of COVID-19 has significantly hurt the industry.
In an open letter issued Tuesday, the organizations say that reopening and closing costs alone add up to $100 million across Ontario.
Wasted inventory, staffing costs, and patio setup and takedown are some of the expenses restaurants have incurred.
The letter addressed to Premier Doug Ford says that financial burden can be eased in several ways including making further funding available through the Ontario Small Business Support.
