Paying for every meal in packed Canadian restaurant, U.S, couple apologizes for Trump politics [View all]

Diners in a Windsor, Ont., restaurant were stunned and elated over the weekend when an American couple picked up the bill for the packed establishment — citing U.S. President Donald Trump's divisive rhetoric and their love of Canada.

May Hermiz is the co-owner of Toast on Erie Street. She says the day took an unexpected turn during their lunch rush when the couple from Ann Arbour, Mich., told her they wanted to pay for everyone in the restaurant.

"I was kind of stunned because nobody has ever done that in our nine years of being in business, nobody has ever paid for the whole restaurant," Hermiz told CBC News.

Hermiz said the woman told patrons "she hates what the United States is doing to us and she doesn't support it. And she's so happy we won the hockey game and it's a little token of appreciation for Canadians and how much she loves us and how much she loves supporting local."

"Everyone cheered them on again," Hermiz said.
