She was being quite loud and obnoxious about it, making quite a scene, all the while holding up the (quite long) line behind her. At one point while carrying on she got almost nose -to-nose with the manager while screaming at him. So much for 6ft apart.

Are you assuming that all claims citing conflict of freedom or the "medical condition" (your quotes, not mine) are fakery?
The biz had no right to "not" allow her in, if she was there as a
patron to conduct business.
But it is the biz's obligation to "convey" that masks are required. Now.. I personally don't have any signs that have "must have masks

Not at all, there are people who genuinely can't wear a mask (people who have COPD come to mine) ...
- But in those cases places like Fortinos require that you
wear a face shield instead. This lady wouldn't have any of
it, she wanted to walk into the store without either.

Yup, and that's exactly what they did. After she got near
nose-to-nose with the manager (he was wearing a mask, she
wasn't) was near the end of the encounter. After that she
left, again screaming at the top of her lungs, that she has
a "medical condition" and that "you'll be hearing from
lawyers".
It's hard to have empathy for a person who acts in such a way.
..I personally don't have any signs that have "must have

The City of Hamilton has bylaws in place saying that you
have to display this sign and that sign, in addition to any
other restrictions that the business would like to impose.
"Wear a Mask", "Do you have any of these symptoms", "Max
occupancy", etc..
There is one Pet Valu close to my house that has so many
signs on the door that you can't see in to know how many
people are in the store.

Good observation. You would think that the biz owner can't
refuse service to people under those grounds either. But I
think there are some laws that govern decency that a biz owner
can fall back on.

Either decency or hygiene. I would think that wearing/not wearing a m would fall under hygiene.
Not necessarily. The science has been clear for years that not only are masks completely ineffective in preventing the spread of disease, but
also that long term mask usage can be harmful in a variety of ways. It
is not about safety, it is about control.
So this is not as straight forward as "having no shoes and no shirt in
the store is bad hygiene". And if we're being honest, if the main stream media started telling everyone that shoes and shirts were dangerous, they'd toss all common sense out the window, forget everything they ever actually knew about hygiene and just do as they are told.
Oh, really? Has anyone told ER staff about this?
Jeff.
Oh, really? Has anyone told ER staff about this?For decades, the boxes in which masks are distributed come with a disclaimer that
surgery grade masks are not apt for defense against biological agents and diseases.
So yeah the boxes told the ER staff.
Actually I don't go as far as to say masks are useless ins this regard,
but they are
not half as powerful as people makes them to be. I think they are being
so heavily
promoted just because governments need people to believe something is being done, and
wearing a mask is a cheap way of achieving peace of mind for a lot of people.

All I am saying is mask manufacturers have been claiming their products are not to be used as protection
against biological agents and diseases before the COVID crisis hit, and that the effectivity of masks is
being magnified in the eyes of the public for mass psychological reasons.
Since the effectivity of masks has become a political topic, in which people takes tribalistic
positions and assumes everybody who does not agree 100% with them is a member of an opposite tribe, and
therefore must be destroyed, I am letting the matter drop.

The law is dead as far as I'm concerned and the Constitution has become toilet paper. The Constitution was originally designed to restrict government, but now there is no way to discern where corporations begin andgovernment ends, because they are so deeply in each others pockets.

This isn't a law; it's up to the various restaurants and other establishments. A fine dining establishment can even require male customers to wear a coat and tie to be served, while a becahfront establishment might be just fine with shoeless, shirtless customers sauntering up to the bar.
The question is not whether shoes and a shirt are the law; it's a
question of whether individual businesses can uphold certain clothing standards for their on-site customers. Generally speaking, they can, and it really has nothing to do with the media.

After working at libraries for many years, I grew to enjoy saying,
"signs are for ignoring". Because _everyone_ misses signs, because there are _so_ many, because people want to get other people to do various things. Which, of course, is not the way to actually get people to do various things.
But signs are _super_ useful _when people are looking for them_.
These two aspects are often in conflict.
E.g., we had self-checkouts, and we _knew_ there were some common stumbling blocks. So, of course, we put up a sign.
So eventually I wound up helping a woman with the self-checkout, and
after explaining the workaround for the difficulty she was experiencing, she said something along the lines of, "you should put up a sign about that".
At which point I picked up the sign and said, "like this one?".

On one side of the coin I see economic experts predicting a
major crash. But just tonight on the evening news was a
comparison that our economy is mirroring the roaring 20s that
followed the Spanish Flu epidemic.
I don't know what to think or believe anymore. Maybe that is the
goal of the media and the elite - and thus keep the public under
control by fear and confusion.
