We have received our first fine for violating the Reopening Act, specifically not enforcing vaccine passport checks. We believe asking for personal medical information violates your personal privacy. More over, the governmental coercion of a medical procedure that has ever decreasing benefits and unknown potential long term effects is simply astounding. We believe this pandemic does NOT constitute a great enough threat to health and safety to warrant this blatant violation of our rights, and I am ashamed of those in power resorting to this level of authoritarianism under the guise of safety. The science is NOT clear and presented openly for us to examine, but rather dictated from on high, and those who would ask questions, are ridiculed ,ignored and ultimately cancelled.
We have attempted to operate in a way that respected everyones privacy, and right to choose, and have been open about not checking vaccination status, and left the choice up to you, the individual, whether to enter our establishment. The choice was yours. Unfortunately, some have not respected our decision, and have complained to public health, I suppose feeling that they were doing everyone a favour. (For your safety of course.) Well, a fine is on the way for us, to teach us a lesson, and to punish us for disobeying the ones above, who know best, despite them being unable to explain to us, how anyone at all, is safe in our establishment, vaccinated, or not, given the low efficacy of the vaccine against contracting covid.
So………., we will accept the fine, but are unwilling to jeopardize Rumbletum financially any further with more fines( we still have quite a financial hole to crawl put of from the last 18 months) so, while still holding on to our firm belief in the unjustness of the vaccine mandates, we will close our indoor dining space indefinitely, and go to a take out only model. Retail shopping and take out will continue to be available.
BY CHANGING PERCEPTION – THINKING WILL CHANGE For an individual to offer the ideal well being, it discount levitra is very similar to the genuine sildenafil citrate pills but cheap in prices. These two herbal viagra australia online pills improve energy levels of your reproductive organs. A long standing general cheapest cialis online notion that there is more to men’s sex problem than erectile dysfunction alone has been proved in a recent study by Dr. But with those choices come plenty of risks, including: Heart palpitations and chest pain Heart attacks Erectile dysfunction or painful erections High blood pressure Insomnia Migraines Stroke Sudden death There are also lots of alternative solutions to increase your viagra without rx sex drive naturally.
I hope you can understand our decision, (even if you disagree) and with your continued support, we hope to survive this difficult season. Thank you.
The Rumbletum team
This is just ridiculous my friends, we will continue to support you now and in the future.
Hold your heads high the awakening is coming, everyone will see the lies that government officials and health ministers have spreading. Their day of reconning is coming……
Thank you for taking a stand as long as your were able to manage to do so.
When in the area. I will still support your wonderful little cafe any way I can and will spread the word.
You are doing the right thing even though you are being punished for it. Stay strong.
Blessings

So much respect for you. It’s really sad and disheartening that people are unable to open their eyes to the coercion and dictatorship of these “mandates”. To be honest, I had not heard of your business until now. Please know you have now made a new, loyal customer. Stay strong!
Thank you for standing up for what is right! We have never been there yet, but after seeing this we will be sure to stop in sometime this month to support you 🙂 💕 Stay Strong!
Remind us what your qualifications are again for the opinions you gave about the severity of the disease caused by SARS-coV-2?
Remember: the majority of Canadians are vaccinated – approaching 87% double-vaxxed – and the majority of us are also in favour of vax mandates. Asking for proof is NOT gathering personal information. That’s just your attempt at martyrdom, much like your explanation for why you’re no longer offering dine-in service. Everyone else can do it and so can you. You’ve made a choice and you’re STILL not a martyr.
Let’s grow up shall we and be Canadians?
Hi Stephen, I am no expert, that is true, however I am an ICU nurse of 26 years, and worked throughout the pandemic, and saw first hand how deadly COVID could be. That said, the stats show, ( and my personal nursing experience can confirm) the people most likely to experience severe illness are elderly, and those with comorbitities, (and still only a small percentage of that population will actually be hospitalized) therefore my assertion stands that these mandates are over reach. My opinion. Yours may vary. No martyrdom attempt on my part here at all, just an explanation as to our decision. We have chosen, willingly, to not do indoor dining to continue to treat everyone equally, plain and simple. Lets treat everyone with respect.
I am glad to see this. Also a nurse here thank you for working for many years and continuing to advocate and think about the big picture and everyone’s right to choose while remaining nonjudgemental (as we’re taught in school – do not judge for others decisions even if we dislike them) and it saddens me how people are so easy to trust the government but not the nurses working who are speaking up. Good for you for standing your ground on people’s rights and freedoms. I will definitely be coming by when I am in the area!
People are so blinded by fear and propaganda they don’t want to hear the other side which science supports as it goes against what they are told to believe/do.
What I find insane… Is a major determinant of health is income. So people need to realize if the government cared about health they would protect the actual vulnerable people aka fix the LTC disaster where majority of deaths have occured and also not put people out of jobs for their medical decisions (firing thousands of nurses…yikes..just wait a few years see how care goes down and wait times go up) as well as shut down restaurants etc taking away income to people making a living like yourself…. Without income (#1 determinant of health) mental and physical health deteriorate…this will come as huge backlash for all of these insane lockdowns and mandates that they seem to think work when they are proven to not work
Keep standing strong 💪🏼👍🏼🇨🇦
You are blind. One does not need a degree to see what is going on. Enjoy your enslavement. People like you have got our country in a real mess
You need to look up in the dictionary what constitutes a democracy.
Most people have reluctantly taken this vaccine on the basis of fear, coercion and manipulation.
That my friend is not the basis of a democracy, nor is it freedom of choice without consequence.
You have taken a vaccine with no long term research data. We are hoping everyone who has taken this will be safe, but unfortunately there is no assurance. The exclusion of govt and Pfizer liability attests to this.
You need to educate yourself and stop supporting tyranny. Open your eyes!!
I have not been to your cafe in quite a few years. I will definitely stop by on my way to the farm for a coffee.
Thank you for embracing democracy and the associated Freedoms that everyone is entitled too.
God made us free, it is man who enslaves us!!!
I am so sorry to hear this. I will be supporting by buying as many Christmas gifts from you as possible. Thank you for your eloquently written note on why you are closing the indoor dining. Will see you soon!
I will support you by getting take out from your establishment. Thank you for fighting for our rights and freedom!!
Thank you Rumbletum for stating your position. I wholeheartedly agree with your position. I will support you and encourage others too as well. We need more courageous, principled business owners like yourself.
Wecwill be there this week for take out. Thank you for a well written susinct letter.
Thank you guys for taking a stand, we have so much respect for the difficult choices you’ve had to make over there/l.
Miss you all, wish we could come & support and drink all the coffees & eat all the scones!! 🙌🏼
Drea & Andrew
I could not agree more with your words. I was recently there with a friend and enjoyed the delicious coffee, food, wonderful company and lovely atmosphere so much. Knowing what has happened, I will make it my mission to drive out weekly to support you.
Thank you for your stand. If more business owners had your courage and conviction, we wouldn’t be in such an endless cycle. I’m sorry I hadn’t heard of your cafe before, but I’ll make my way to you very soon to show support. I hope you reconsider and fight your fine.
I was extremely saddened to hear this news, as I was so thrilled to be able to visit your cafe a few weeks ago for the first time! Absolutely loved everything about it, including the fact that you didn’t discriminate and everyone was welcome! I admire and commend you for you taking a stand on this and please know I will be sure to show my support for you and your wonderful cafe! Thank you for standing for Truth!
I first came to the Rumbletum on the day my husband proposed to me, and it will always hold a special place in my heart! Good for you for making the choice to treat all Canadians fairly and with respect. I will definitely be stopping in to pick up a couple of Christmas gifts and to show show my support.
Fact check .As of this morning 76% of cdns are double vaxxed not 87%.
Fauci himself admits that being vaxxed is no guarantee of not contracting or spreading the disease.
Even now the global mortality rate is 1%
So the use of a passport eludes me.
The real loss here is our acceptance of individual decisions of others. This is a voluntary decision. I respect your choice. all i need is the same from you
I have just heard about what your team is standing up for! Amazing! I can’t wait to come support you … it will be soon 🙂
