Torontonians are protected from food borne pathogens by the Government of the Province of Ontario. It is the Ontario Ministry of Health that has created the regulations for food that has created issues with purveyors of street food, unpasteurized cheeses and sushi.
Torontonians just cry whenever they travel the world and see the vast array of street food available elsewhere. I know I did when I was last in Vietnam.
There are farmers that have staged protests to get the regulations changed so unpasteurized cheese can be offered in Ontario as they are allowed to do in Quebec (you have to love the French!).
The sushi thing happened when the idea was floated that sushi should be frozen to prevent bacteria, etc. You don't want to mess with good sushi chefs. Their knives are very sharp. This regulation fell by the wayside before it was put into effect thanks to public ridicule of the idea.
