The owner of a popular barbecue restaurant in Toronto’s Leaside neighbourhood has now apologized to the public, after questioning the severity of COVID-19 and using offensive language towards other social media users. “It has been a long, eye-opening week.
I regret my comments made in frustration,” Adamson Barbecue owner Adam Skelly told Global News. “I now realize, although not at all intended to cause harm to anyone, my comments did just that.
I am better than this and my family, friends, employees and community deserve more.” The controversy began when Skelly took to Twitter on Monday from his restaurant’s official account, questioning some of the statistics released concerning the novel coronavirus.
