I don't see the problem. It's not like every other restaurant that no one ever goes to closed up. Dog eat dog world man.
Free market?

- Government mandated increase in wages
- Government mandated increase in Corporate Taxes
- Government mandated increase in Personal Taxes
- Government mandated increase in Property Taxes
- Government mandated increase in Utility costs

Where is the free market there? He can try a whole host of strategies to try and accommodate some of these fluctuating costs but hes getting smoked from all sides here and its not like the economy is kicking ass and taking names, he cant pass that buck to his consumers because they havent got any.

Why? Isnt that why the NDP were elected? To take care of us? Why else would anyone elect some socialists?

The least the Government could do is give him and his soon to be laid off employees a swath of land for them to gather wheat and in return shelter them in a workhouse with all the gruel they can eat.

On the upside though, Escoba's Carbon Footprint is definitely going to be more to their liking now.
