QP Briefing

This week, the Ontario lobby registry saw the registration of Antler Kitchen and Bar, which will be lobbying the government to pursue regulatory amendments to allow wild game to be served in Ontario restaurants.

If the name sounds familiar, Antler made headlines in 2018 when the chef 

butchered a deer leg in front of vegan protesters. 

The Toronto restaurant also made headlines in 2020 for sending Premier Doug Ford 

 for beer it said would spoil as a result of the province-wide shutdown.

Now, Antler wants to create more choice for consumers surrounding buying and consuming natural wild game. The restaurant would like to source from Indigenous suppliers, increase tourism, create jobs in the sector and increase revenue for the province. So, Torontonians may want to keep an eye out for another headline-making stunt from this group.
