ICYMI - Amid a global pandemic, economic collapse and mass protest, Toronto has a new top concern: Your beer
The public health principle should be harm reduction. People are going to drink. After several months of lockdown, they’re going to see their friends. Those are both risky propositions. The question is, how to mitigate those risks?
For Tuite, this is an equity issue, too. It’s about who does and doesn’t have access to private outdoor spaces. “You may be lucky enough to have a nice backyard that you can sit in and enjoy a drink in and have some friends over and have enough space back there to maintain physical distance, but you may not,” she said. For those people, the ones without yards or cottages, the park is their social space. They should be allowed to enjoy it without worrying about the police.
The lineups were long and packed as people tried to get across to the Toronto Islands via the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal on Wednesday July 1, 2020.Asked about the same issue Monday, Mayor John Tory said that, from what’s he’s seen, most people are acting responsibly, even when they aren’t strictly following the rules. “I think people are getting the message. And as usual, it’s a message that sort of says, let’s do things in moderation,” he said.
