This should NEVER be allowed or even thought of as acceptable. 8567 McCowan road @cityofmarkham this is SHAMEFUL. 1st pic of Dec 24/25, 2nd/3rd pics of Dec 31/25. Disabled patrons of the plaza clearly are not valued or wanted here. @AODAontario #disabilityrights #HumanRights

Why ppl like this? It’s a choice to wear a mask or not, & no one is harming if they are wearing one. Maybe they’re trying not to get you sick, sir. Maybe Covid, or vaccine, decimated their immune system, or they’re chronically ill. Wtv the reason, let them be. @CP24 @LoblawsON

Was excited to attend @vegandale TO today with VIP tix, but no parking b/c @starlinefilm permitted the lot. When I asked attendant for accessible parking b/c I’m physically disabled, he kept flipping his hand to shoo me away & told me to “f*ck off”. Damper on whole experience.
