No Mask? No Hands? Get the fuck out of our store!
I love the Safety Cult people! Their concern about "others" is so inspiring!

When attempting to explain her medical disability exemption, staff threatened to call the police.
Elisabeth Walker-Young is a four-time Paralympic swimmer. She was denied entry to a Vancouver Indigo location for not wearing a mask. Walker-Young is physically unable to put on a mask because she was born with no hands, according to Global News.
The Order of Canada recipient said, "When I am out with my daughter or my husband, they will help me put on a mask. But when I am out in the world independently, I just can't do it."
"It's just not fair. I am not an anti-masker. I actually don't go out often because I am trying not to make people feel uncomfortable, which is an awful way to navigate the world," said Walker-Young.
This news comes just a week after Indigo Chapters turned away an autistic boy from entering the store for his not wearing a mask. Like Walker-Young, the boy had a medical exemption.
The autistic boy's mother is now filing a Human Rights complaint in British Columbia.
