Mike Cormier, owner of the Ardmore Tea Room in Nova Scotia, explained how officers visited his restaurant last week after it had been reported that someone was dining indoors at the eatery and breaking COVID-19 rules.
Cormier told Global News: "The officer got out and was looking in the window, and I saw her looking at the mannequin."
