Ontario has ordered all strip clubs in the province to shut down temporarily by Saturday in response to an uptick in #COVID19 cases, requiring restaurants, bars and nightclubs to close by midnight each night. #TOpoli https://www.cp24.com/news/ontario-orders-all-strip-clubs-to-shut-down-imposes-new-alcohol-rules-for-bars-and-restaurants-1.5119797">https://www.cp24.com/news/onta...

You& #39;ll notice that strip clubs are required to close entirely while other bars and restaurants are given lesser sanctions. Addressing a 2nd wave means addressing *all nightlife industries* equally.

Singling out strip clubs as spaces where COVID is spread *without acknowledging the impact of other bars, restaurants and massive social gatherings* is uneven treatment and singles out sex workers.

Strippers are workers who deserve access to safe working conditions, the right to unionize or form professional associations and the ability to access emergency benefits in the wake of *another* #COVID19 related shut down. #TOpoli
