Restaurants, small businesses demand compensation as Ontario shutdown enacted by Dan Healing, The Canadian Press Posted Apr 1, 2021 9:20 pm EDT A restaurant in Toronto displays a Take Out Only sign on March 18, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Frank Gunn Owners of restaurants in Ontario reacted with anger Thursday at news that the province will ban all indoor and outdoor dining service for four weeks as part of an “emergency brake” to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Restaurateurs said it’s unfair that they are unable to serve their customers in person when other businesses are allowed to remain open with restrictions. “I feel like nobody knows what they’re doing. And it’s really scary,” said Pam Viinikka, co-owner of two restaurants, The Cornerstone and the Log Cabin Tavern, in Kenora in northern Ontario.
