00:00:00.000 hey everybody i wanted to comment on the anderson barbecue story uh and specifically i'd like to
00:00:06.180 address the haters or the critics uh of this guy of this business owner uh let's first just state
00:00:14.440 the obvious you don't have to go to this man's barbecue you don't have to go to this man's
00:00:20.260 business uh you have the choice to do that you have the freedom uh to do that that's how it used
00:00:25.120 to be back in the good old days uh you know you could just decide to go to a place or not go to
00:00:30.360 a place but uh yeah you remember that you remember choice um next is some of these people uh commenting
00:00:37.660 are completely bonkers um i'll put the tweet up here just because you can't understand science
00:00:46.220 and math doesn't mean we all have to die it was that fateful tuesday and they opened his barbecue
00:00:55.100 and then that's when the millions upon millions were fainting and coughing in the street and there
00:01:00.080 was the biggest outbreak of all like this is i don't know what you're consuming or what you're
00:01:04.260 reading to actually think something crazy like this because ironically you know based on your comment
00:01:10.160 you know the science the science and the math you're not making any sense because there has
00:01:15.780 been a lot of data tracking this virus a lot of data a lot of effort going into tracking this virus
00:01:20.940 pretty sure uh justin trudeau has a new app sounds like justin trudeau is like part of a startup all
00:01:26.140 of a sudden hey download my new app it's got it's got algorithms guys it uses bluetooth yeah okay okay
00:01:31.280 justin but uh data has shown that restaurants and the gym has not been a huge contributor to the spread
00:01:38.720 of covid so yeah there there is science and math supporting uh this guy's decision of really thinking
00:01:46.340 it's not that big of a deal not that big of a wrist a risk uh absolutely and i've talked to
00:01:51.680 business owners while we're on the topic and they say you know what restaurants always have a crap
00:01:57.200 already have a crap ton of regulations for sanitation and staying clean and um yeah so just want to add
00:02:05.980 that into the conversation because it's hardly mentioned when it definitely should be uh and then
00:02:10.640 next is kind of a broad kind of criticism oh well he's just being irresponsible he should why doesn't
00:02:17.060 he just use takeout like everybody else um you know what else is irresponsible completely fucking the 0.95
00:02:25.120 economy uh you know what else is irresponsible uh putting kids in masks and locking them inside
00:02:31.240 what else is irresponsible telling people that going to the gym is bad for their health is irresponsible
00:02:36.700 uh decimating small businesses is irresponsible uh borrowing money from the government just
00:02:42.840 forever that's irresponsible and for these people i assume when they have this kind of very simple
00:02:50.180 basic criticism i assume you're not a business owner yourself i assume you don't know other business
00:02:54.940 owners or know that much about uh economics and how everything works which is fine or maybe you do
00:03:00.120 and you're somebody who's part of a business that is unaffected by this lockdown in which case you
00:03:04.900 should be really grateful but i just want to ask you where do you think all this is going
00:03:09.820 i mean remember when it was a two-week lockdown look where we are now you know where do you think this
00:03:16.460 is headed you think that after all these small businesses in the hundreds of thousands by the way
00:03:20.860 are decimated in the gta you think springtime is going to roll around and and all of these spring
00:03:26.720 flowers these new small businesses are all going to sprout up out of nowhere that's not how it works
00:03:31.840 that's not how it works and finally the absolute like hatred of this guy and you know i'm here to
00:03:40.260 talk about the criticisms they're valid criticisms and i'm responding to them here but like broadly
00:03:45.320 there's this real sort of like this villain this guy he's causing all of our problems and everybody's
00:03:52.140 lofting these scathing criticism towards him why is why is it that we're aiming all of our criticism
00:03:59.520 at this one guy with a small business you know i would love to see the same amount of scathing
00:04:06.080 criticism lofted towards our leaders our federal political leaders provincial and municipal but no
00:04:12.780 oh don't criticize john torrey don't criticize doug ford you know it's it's it's never part of the
00:04:19.020 popular conversation mind you that i've seen i mean you'll see it online but will you see it
00:04:23.660 on the cbc of course not you know nobody ever criticizes teresa tam nobody ever criticizes the
00:04:30.060 gospel of patty haydew or justin trudeau and if you look at what happened when this virus originally
00:04:37.540 spread in this country yeah there's a lot of scathing criticisms that deserve to be lofted at
00:04:43.560 these people yet now it seems the only conversation is getting mad at one another hating one another oh this
00:04:50.220 this person didn't wear a mask that person wasn't socially distancing that business owner opened on
00:04:55.620 a tuesday get them i was gonna say lynch them but uh kind of seems like that online of course that's
00:05:03.020 an exaggeration but i think you get the point and and folks like once again where do you think this is
00:05:07.580 headed where do you think this is headed we we we us us citizens us serfs and peasants and small
00:05:14.200 business owners i don't care what your political leanings are look around you know there's a lot
00:05:20.280 that we probably agree on here so let's try to work together on this instead of constantly trying
00:05:26.340 to crucify one another anyway thanks for watching
