Toronto bar apologizes after ‘no means yes’ sign stirs outrage

A Toronto bar owner has apologized — and says a staff member will be fired — following an online backlash over a bar sign that angered people who said it was joking about sexual assault.

Locals Only issued a statement on social media that said a staff member had made the sign without management’s knowledge.

Locals Only called the sign, “disgusting, derogatory, and insensitive towards a serious issue that we in no shape or form condone.”

Employment Lawyer Lior Samfiru spoke to Global News Radio 640 Toronto’s Morning Show with Matt Gurney and Supriya Dwivedi.
