I have not worn one in stores for several months. Most bigger stores (Shoppers Drug Mart, Loblaws, LCBO etc) know the deal. The bylaw language requires them to challenge someone without a mask. When you reply it's for health reasons they leave you alone. If it's another shopper who challenges you, tell them the same thing. If they persist, tell them to speak to the manager. Try it, it works. Note: I do make exceptions for small mom & pop stores who are just terrified of being shut down for non-compliance. I go in maskless and if they object I reference the exemption clause. If they insist then I'll just leave, but at least it's raised their awareness a little bit more.

I don't want to have to deck a Karen so I wear it for a bit.

But I take it off when completing my purchase at a self-checkout and ready to leave store. I get some looks, it's fun.

The only person I’ve seen recently without a mask was a uniformed corrections officer. This is in Calgary where there’s a bylaw for masking.

I just wear it on my chin. No ones said shit, however I look like a convict so most people dont bother lol.

I stopped wearing a mask almost 5 months ago because I saw a little girl holding her breathe as her mom walked her to the front door of a daycare. The mom said, "Remember to breathe Sarah, remember to breathe!" then the daycare lady opened the door and a woman answered with a mask on and a face shield. The girl couldn't have been more than 3 or 4, I think she was afraid of covid and holding her breathe when she left the car. It fucked me up, I've gotten in trouble at work (construction) because I refuse to wear a mask. You can go inside any store without a mask on, in Toronto the city bylaw is a joke, they cannot refuse you service based on you not having a mask, they have to accommodate you because of the Ontario Human Rights Act.

If you're wearing a mask you are a pussy straight up. I don't know how else to say it. Fucking grow a pair, this is wrong, it's not about the masks it's about our human rights and our freedom and you are all complicit in letting it slip away. Half the people going into stores should never be wearing one. You can threaten to sue if you are refused service, if they threaten to call the police there's not a damn thing they can do other than escort you off the property. I've heard rumours they may charge you with trespassing but the charge doesn't hold up, again because of the Ontario Human Right's Act, it's a scare tactic. You actually can sue if they refuse you service, potentially winning tens of thousands of dollars if you feel so inclined. Just try it, no big store will turn you away, I've gone into grocery stores, pharmacies and home hardware stores. The worst they will do is offer to grab what you need and bring it to you at the door. But most places just let it happen because otherwise they know they will get sued.

I will not.

Haven't worn a mask in month.

My favorite coffee place and favorite breakfast place understand I'm not going to do it, but I don't want them to get in trouble, so I let them know I can stand outside while I order, or order by phone and have them bring it out to me,

But I'm not wearing a fuckin' mask.
