TL;DR
Guzzo Cinemas has filed a lawsuit against the Quebec government, claiming it suffered financial losses due to prolonged COVID-19 restrictions on theaters. The lawsuit seeks $15 million in damages, alleging the closures severely impacted operations and violated the company's rights. Guzzo argues that the measures were excessive and calls for compensation for the chaos caused by the 'lockdown' practices in Quebec. The legal action emphasizes the broader consequences for the entertainment sector and highlights tensions between business operations and public health measures.
