FREEDOM WINS – DECEMBER 2023
- Charges dismissed for the Calgary pizzeria owner who served unvaccinated customers during lockdown. Jesse Johnson, the owner of Without Papers Pizza, was charged in October 2021 for not complying with public health orders. The restaurant broke the city’s bylaw when undercover officers were allowed to buy pizza and stay on the premises without showing vaccination proof during the lockdown. At the time, the pizzeria publicly announced, “We accept all, may they be vaccinated or unvaccinated, as being equal in their humanity and afforded the same dignity and equity as such.” Provincial health orders implemented during the pandemic forced the pizzeria into insolvency. Johnson said he intends to pursue a civil lawsuit against the city government.
