      I’m surprised that the separatists didn’t band together to show support, they’re usually so good at staying united.

      He doesn’t regret hosting the separatist events. At least he can take solace in being a martyr for American propaganda.

    3. Guess it’s time for him to pack up and move south of the border. More opportunities down there, folks claim. More freedom. /s

      Oh no, quick, start a gofundme stating how the socialists did this horrible deed to them

      The separation conversation isn’t a difference of opinion but to many of us an existential threat and therefore not worthy of a compromise. Smith has pitted Albertan against Albertan. I hope she pays a heavy price for her poor leadership.

      Hosts a separatist event in a military town and is shocked that the locals don’t embrace it, it’s a bit like campaigning in Fort Mac to shut down the oil sands…

    7. I wouldn’t necessarily believe the owner when he says the closure is due to loss of business from his separatist stance.

      We moved to Cold Lake in 2024 right after the business changed hands. Right as we arrived word was fairly positive about Beantrees as a space, but scuttlebutt in local groups since then has been consistent in complaining about the decline in quality of food, of service, and allegations about the owner’s behaviour.

      I personnally cannot corroborate any of it, but considering he’s an avowed separatist and one of the „freedom“ types I must admit I’m inclined to believe it.

      Edit: To add on, the local independant bike shop/sports store is also run by a separatist, and he hasn’t gone under (yet) despite opening his doors as a signing location.

      “ i dont regret it but i will complain to all of canada about it“

      imagine spending 10mins inside this mans head. it would be a nightmare

      Hope he tries his luck in the United States, since he apparently wants so badly to be an American.

      Bought the business in 2024. Out of business in two years. Bro really be out here trying blame COVID for the fact that he crashed and burned a pub that *survived the pandemic.*

      Business running since 1999. This guy bought it in 2024 and ran it into the ground in 2 years with his politics.

      Good for his customers and for the performers for bailing.

      The mental gymnastics of this guy is quite impressive, yet pathetic at the same time

    12. I couldn’t see people’s faces when they wore masks so Alberta needs to separate. That’s some logic there.

      Openly declaring yourself a separatist in a town that owes its existence to the federal government seems to be a bad idea.

    14. This quote cracked me up: „He claimed Alberta should also leave Canada largely because Ottawa has mismanaged Canada’s food system. He said not enough food is grown domestically and it’s highly processed.

      I just can’t even touch commercial chicken anymore. It’s just disgusts me,” he said.“

      **He wants to leave Canada because commercial chicken is bad?** Nobody is forcing him to buy chicken from superstore. You can get good chicken at local stores but it costs two or three times the price.

    15. From the political side that’s usually shouting: „Keep your politics out of <Insert thing here>“, I bring you… exhibit A.

      He moved north from Calgary and bought a cute little cafe.
      Raised the prices, lowered the quality of food or got rid of ppls favourites, screamed at his staff at levels everyone could hear and then came out to „apologize“ still blaming others for his immaturity. He was on the way out long before he ranted about separatism. It was just the last straw for everyone to stop going.

      I’m sure he’d claim that he was cancelled. But it sounds like he alienated his customers. They told him what they thought of him with their business.

      Though, honestly, man buys failing café in 2024 and it closes in 2026 isn’t much of an article. And apparently it’s cause he didn’t like social distancing during COVID…

    18. > He said he joined Alberta’s so-called freedom movement during the COVID-19 pandemic.

      > He said he disagreed with the public health measures put in place by Ottawa to curb the virus, **including mask mandates.**

      It was the gosh darn Province of Alberta that set forth those mandates you muppet!

      He’s not even remorseful, either. He still stands behind separatism, even though he only got a dozen signatures in his pub.
