00:00:00.000 This is Chris Scott and of course this is the Whistle Stop Cafe end of the day and there's
00:00:28.280 a number of police officers I guess there's been a number of fines tickets that have been sent out
00:00:32.480 and we just thought we would get a quick word from Chris as to how he felt the day went and if it was
00:00:39.680 worth it. The day went well it was absolutely peaceful we got our message out and I mean it's
00:00:47.580 a little wet and muddy and cold but other than that everything's great and of course it's worth
00:00:52.160 it standing up for what you believe in is always worth it. So what do you hope to accomplish today?
00:00:58.280 We need to bring attention to the fact that in Canada right now it is 100% legal and lawful
00:01:06.980 for an unelected official to enact law and impose it on us without any accountability. So that's a
00:01:13.060 problem for me. We should have due process before any of our rights are infringed and we don't have
00:01:18.520 that right now and I think we need to make people aware of that because if it's a cafe today or a
00:01:23.860 church tomorrow you know what's next. And so the message that you would send to all people right
00:01:31.300 now here in Alberta? All the people of Alberta? Thank you. The majority of Albertans are speaking
00:01:38.220 up and they're and they're they're standing up and they're saying this is this is enough this is
00:01:42.380 ridiculous and I'm getting that from both sides of the political spectrum not just the conservative
00:01:47.060 side I have liberal friends I have NDP voting friends who all think that this these restrictions 0.98
00:01:52.980 are irresponsible ambiguous ridiculous discriminatory they don't serve their purpose and they're harming
00:02:00.400 Albertans. And so the solution? Stand up that's it period. So thank you very much for taking the time 0.99
00:02:11.200 to speak with Western Standard and if you'd like to follow up with us please do so and we will be
00:02:17.400 following up with you. Sure. Thank you very much.
