FAFO, bucko.

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

“It really affected me personally because I have anxiety issues and not seeing faces really affected me,” he said.

Oh my fucking god, dude. None of us loved doing that. I'm sure the people with long covid are feeling pretty affected now, and the people who died might also have some opinions for you if they were still able to do things like have opinions.

“Even if we don’t separate, I mean, we ought to talk about this stuff, you know? People don’t want to talk about it.”

Yeah, you're almost getting it. We want to talk and think about it so little you lost your business over it. Not that you're learning any lessons from that.

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.

If I gambled I think that would be a pretty safe bet.

[Edit] Not that I think these concerns on their own signify much, but taken as a whole with his other beliefs definitely paints a picture of the sort of granola fascist that supports RFK jr.

Hahaha because the US is so highly renowned for its healthy, unprocessed food

If he's outside of Edmonton and had the money to buy a coffee shop, he could definitely raise chickens.

Chickens are the easiest domestic animal by far.
