Chris Scott is the owner operator of the Whistlestop Café, near Red Deer, AB. His food and gas prices have made a name for himself. But it was his refusal to bend to the Alberta government and the provincial health Gestapo that made him a legend in the anti-vaccine and anti-lockdown groups that have refused to allow the COVID-19 pandemic be used as an excuse by governments both large and small to abrogate basic and incidental freedoms..He doesn’t flinch from describing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as a “spoiled brat” who lectures Canadians and makes enemies and he won’t back down when the state comes to his door to literally take away his freedom..The police came and arrested Scott for not closing down his business and they threw him in jail. “They actually ended up seizing my building. They chained my door shut,” he told me during a Canada Day interview. The interview can be viewed on my Twitter feed below..I was at Scott’s restaurant the same week during a sojourn in Alberta and B.C. and met the man in person. He works hard and obviously doesn’t seek out publicity. It required three attempts to finally get the interview done. On July 1, he’s hosting a party..“We’re celebrating Canadians’ Day, I’d call it.”.Tamara Lich was supposed to be there too. But she was rearrested. Did it have anything to do with an advertisement that pictured Lich and Scott together?.Scott says no: the alleged “infraction” occurred when Lich said a few words with Freedom Convoy organizer Tom Marazzo when she accepted the George Jonas Freedom Award..Scott noted that there “about a dozen lawyers in the room” which meant the conversation did not contravene any judicial prohibition..“When the Crown prosecutor can throw you in jail on a whim and prevent your from participating in events or celebrating Canada Day, that’s disgusting,” he said..The restauranteur was in Ottawa for the Freedom Convoy protest and reiterated his observations that if there was any bad behaviour on display it did not come from the protesters but from the politicians – especially Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson..He eviscerated Watson for calling his political enemies racists. “That’s the most racist thing you can do.”.“Everything that happens like this pushes the movement ahead – peacefully. “.The only ones seeking violence are “Jim Watson’s cronies and Justin Trudeau’s Parliamentary Police service cronies” who are releasing “their frustrations on innocent protesters”.Scott said the same kind of disinformation and lies that characterized the media’s reporting and the political storytelling of the February Freedom Convoy is already at work in Ottawa again. On Thursday, video of a demonstrator with a police officer’s knee on his neck went viral on social media. The victim was not even putting on a struggle but merely asked how he could comply to make the punishment stop..The following morning, some mainstream media were reporting that it was a cop who was being assaulted by a protester..Hope he is fired “horrible, horrible mayor…worst kind of human being,” Scott said of the police officer..The lockdown opposer is not expecting vaccines mandates to be lifted for truckers because they are a form of “punishment” for a group of people Prime Minister Justin Trudeau clearly doesn’t like or understand..“Shouldn’t have been any vaccine mandates at all.”.The fact that some still exist, Scott says, is evidence that change is still needed in Canada..“Here we have this spoiled brat of a PM in Canada exercising his bleating authority to punish those that don’t agree with him or don’t like him,” Scott notes..Scott says it is imperative for those opposing mandatory vaccines and lockdowns to remember to always be peaceful and to take things in stride and to not give the authoritarian government leaders the excuses they are lusting after to take away more freedoms. He notes how both Watson and Trudeau are using police forces like they worked for them personally and the people working for these politicians are “taking out their frustrations” by being violent “against peaceful protesters.”
