BARRIE, ONT. Many business owners across Simcoe County were glued to the tv on Thursday to hear Premier Doug Ford announce plans for the latest province-wide shutdown. Christian Linkert owns the Sun Emporium in Barrie and says he isn t surprised by the government s move, but once again, he says he has no choice but to keep his doors open. I have to stay open. Same as last time to ensure my survival. I have to stay open. Linkert defied provincial orders last month during the second wave shutdown. He opened his business, suggesting he would be closing the doors for good otherwise.
