This is the world that has bin created with all the fear instilled in Canadian citizens.

What is the point of reviews if the bad ones are taken down or seen as baseless.

Cry me a river. Some businesses deserve one-star reviews 🤷🏻‍♂️ firstworldproblems IronNorthFit

A bad review for discrimination isn't 'baseless' cbcnews it's wholly warranted, and in fact it's necessary.

Kinda like the rest of life, no?…sometimes you get bitten and it’s warranted, and sometimes it’s not, and there’s ways to get over both. Welcome to life. GetaHelmet

Reading the comments to the article itself it’s clear that too many freedumb fighters have no clue 1. what our charter actually states 2. The fact that a business can require its employees & patrons to adhere to certain rules 3. That vaxx pass isn’t asking your medical history.

I’m sure every business owner would say every one star review they have is “baseless”. Some are baseless but most people won’t waste their time writing a review unless they are actually upset about poor service.

I assume all 5 star reviews are friends and family and all 1 star reviews are from petty crazy people with too much time on their hands and then go from there.

The behaviour of convoy people is so destructive. If they really want an all out war situation I suggest they go to Ukraine

Trust me, a lot of these places deserve one star reviews.

Well, with the loser ''freedom fighters'', it is all about destroying businesses that don't agree with their narrative. It was never about people freedoms.

It’s only baseless because they said so? Maybe the service/food or what ever else there selling is actually shitty?

So not false. They're just discriminating against allowing certain people to use their business

Thank the redneckradicals who expect respect, but never give it. They want their right to choose, but target businesses whose choices are different than theirs.

cdnpoli cdnpolitics Canada Review Given how they're manipulated and subject to faked postings, I wouldn't trust online reviews even of kiddie lemonade stands.

Google reviews have become useless...you can't put any faith in their reviews anymore.

Ottawa to protect number of Quebec Commons seats, stop province from losing MP | CBC NewsA proposal by the Bloc Québécois to reject any redistribution of seats that would see Quebec lose weight in the Canadian federation has led the federal government to look at ways of preventing that. They basically have two options: 1) add one seat in Quebec and thus keep it at 78 with everyone else rightfully complaining or 2) once again blowing up the size of the HoC Does Quebec have too many seats?

Ontario sending $11.5M to Ottawa for post-convoy business, tourism | CBC NewsThe Ontario government is sending $10 million to Invest Ottawa for grants to cover money lost because of the occupation of downtown streets. Another $1.5 million is going to Ottawa Tourism to market the city in spring and summer. Are they going after the truckers and leaders? Let's never forget that the Ottawa police and Ford sat back and let this happen. That won't be close enough to cover the costs of the occupation. Business closures, people couldn't go to work. 11.5M is peanuts.

Opinion | As food prices soar, it’s time for Ottawa to stop automatic beer tax hikesAs food prices soar, it’s time for Ottawa to stop automatic beer tax hikes. Chronic labour shortages, supply chain disruptions and rising costs are compounded by the federal government’s annual automatic hike in beer taxes. Opinion Interesting article. Curious though that so many companies are making record profits but blame price increases on inflation and supply chain issues. Starbucks for one, Loblaws is another, but people only seem to blame the govt.
