How does suing the government work in Canada? Is it some kind of shitty "we violated your rights but all you get is an empty promise we won't do it again, until we rewrite the law" deal? Or could he get actual compensation for the damage they've caused?
Basically, @epdevilla can put up signs, disinfect things & take away infected things. This is what you'd use if you found, say, a house with a bunch of rats in it with rabies. There's nothing in the law about police, or raiding a man's restaurant and seizing it or arresting him.
This is the crucial point people keep missing. This thing where you'll sue them and win because the law appears to be on your side? It's no longer a thing nowadays. Activist judges basically get to do whatever the fuck they want.
Here's hoping he sues and wins.

NAL but think it works pretty much the same as UK, you can get actual compensation.

The liberal activist Canadian “judge” this case would end up in front of would definitely make it legal.

Yep, People in power don’t make decisions Based on what is legal. They make decisions and figure out how to legally justify those decisions later.
