A visitor from the U.S. got more than they asked for at a Toronto hotel restaurant when they ordered a cheeseburger on Monday night that was served with a waiver on the side.

I'm an American living in Canada and I think the law and mentality around it are silly.

That said, you're right. Those are the codified rules, and because they are codified, the hotel has taken the necessary steps to protect themselves, while going out of their way to provide this to their customer. They could have just told them no, just like every other establishment does.

Yeah so we've got this thing in Canada called public healthcare and we ended up paying for people getting e.coli and mad cow disease because they decided they knew better, so no these regulations aren't silly.

This attitude is a very slippery slope, unfortunately.

He's full of shit too, as the person who gets sick also pays his share for the insurance.

Well you can move across the border if you want to live in a country where governments don't care about their citizens and where you can just sue the restaurant for not letting you eat the way you want and then sue them for feeding you unsafe for that brought you to the hospital.

Telling everyone you're a fascist in a burger cooking thread is extra special.
