"He didn't claim any exemption which is one problem with that argument." There's no problem with the argument. If the man didn't know about exemptions, then he needs to learn about them. In Burnaby, BC RCMP officers have ticketed young couples on a date in a restaurant for not social distancing enough, even when sitting across the dinner table from one another.
Mask mandate orders are Ministerial, they are not laws, they do not trump legislation. The same Ministerial Order, The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, The Canadian Human Rights Act, The BC Public Health Act, The B.C. Human Rights Act, and The BC Emergency Program Act M425, all clearly state the Mask Exemptions are given for under age children, and people with health (physical and psychological) reasons and other disabilities. When people claim an exemption they are not required to show proof of their medical condition because of Health Information Privacy Rights in BC.
The B.C. Human Rights act allows any business to respect and honor a mask exemption without being fined for observing that exemption. The business cannot be shutdown legally or fined.
The mask mandate here in BC, Canada was initiated with pressure from special interest groups and corporations on Privincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry who worked previously for the Gates Foundation.
Still the problem is he did not attempt to mention he was exempt based on medical criteria exemptions to the mandate. He does not have to go into an explanation of his medical condition, that's the same here, they are not allowed to ask the specifics of but none the less he needs to express a medical exemption.
There is a still further problem. The reason he may have acted as he did: not claiming an exemption, he may be a set-up/crisis actor. His behavior is valuable to the Mask Nazi agenda by creating a violent scene to make us pro-breather/mask exemption people look bad, even though he is obviously not one, still the MSM has lumped him in with us. Masks worn for long periods of time (anything over 10 minutes) are harmful to your health. Any neurologist who is honest will tell you this: less oxygen to the brain leads to brian damage, and in the case of masks can lead to bacterial pneumonia and strep throat.
We so far haven't seen an increase in those dangerous activities being listed anywhere.

Bacterial pneumonia's could also be on the rise because covid causes pneumonia. I look at it this way, donning a mask to run in the store is less likely to kill me than covid. Pretty soon there's going to be, if you listen to the democrats who are championing that Biden got 81 million votes, 81 million people getting the vaccine....in reality closer to 65 but that will have a profound effect on the viruses ability to spread. I think I can handle a few more months of wearing a mask into the store to grab a few things since I am still way overstocked on food still.
Also note those articles, like mainstream media, have their own bias.
