Pizza place breaks rules, repeatedly
CTV’s report on a Wellington Street pizzeria that has broken Covid rules flagrantly and repeatedly is almost comic in its excesses – groups eating inside when it was not allowed, kissing and hugging, a brawl and hostage-taking, six staff infected with Covid, handshakes and embraces with clients – but also points out how incoherent the official response has been.

The really dumb thing is that this restaurant has huge windows opening onto the street, so everyone driving by can see inside. It was clear there was absolutely no social distancing and few masks, and the place was often packed. The disrespect for the rules was pretty blatant.

Wow, Moretti is near my work back when I was going to work. I didn’t realize how much that area of Griffintown had changed until that joint opened and I had a look at the clientele.

This place was douchebag central and clearly mobbed up. Perhaps that is part of the explanation for the city’s incoherent response.

Lived in that neighborhood for a year (thankfully no longer) and every time I walked by, it looked like a scene out of Goodfellas. Have to agree with walkerp’s assessment since the majority of people there every night were clearly not people who lived in the neighborhood.

Wellington used to be all Irish mob, not that long ago. Must be some kind of agreement.
