Adam Skelly has decided to take up his issues about the lockdown to Ontario Superior Court.  “The government is completely overreaching in an effort to close down small businesses and destroy our economy,” said Skelly.  “There’s no other option. There’s no end in sight,".  At a press conference, he called from his Leaside location of Adamson Barbecue. Skelly is still fighting several charges from this past fall, after opening his Etobicoke location restaurant despite orders against it.  He said he believes international human rights and constitutional protections are being eliminated as a result of the pandemic in Ontario.  Skelly said he believes the case will be heard in June or July and said if he wins, businesses will be allowed to open despite lockdown measures imposed.  Skelly also plans to challenge the $187,000 bill he received from the city when it billed him for the police resources that were used to shut down his Etobicoke restaurant.  As well, Skelly notes the city has been vindictive towards him, noting that his Leaside location has been closed to the public by order of the city, meaning that he can only now serve customers at his Aurora, Ont., location.
