Loading ...Calgary pizza shop owner files lawsuit over illegal forced closure for serving the unvaccinated
Without Papers Pizza owner is suing the City of Calgary, the province of Alberta and former Chief Medical Officer Deena Hinshaw for shutting down his business in 2021.
“We are suing the City of Calgary, the Province of Alberta, and former (Alberta chief medical officer) Deena Hinshaw, and we are going to win. It is our hope that our case will set (a) precedent and that Albertans are never medically segregated again,” Without Papers Pizza’s website says.
In October 2021, Without Papers Pizza was permanently shut down for refusing to enforce the vaccine passport and serving unvaccinated Canadians. In addition to having the business closed, Johnson faced massive fines for opposing the vaccine passport mandate. However, in July 2023, the Alberta Court of Kings Bench ruled that all mandates issued by Hinshaw were illegal. This included the restriction exemptions program used to justify closing the pizza restaurant. Shortly after, in November 2023, all charged against Johnson were dropped.
