I think this bakery can kiss their livelihood goodbye. What a colossal mess this could have caused. The fool should be run out of town.

I can't believe any decent and sane member of the Medicine Hat community supporting this business. How long will it take for that community to run this piece of garbage right out of town?

LOL! If the community is as upset as it should be, he won't survive even as a Timmie's.

Police have no business getting involved in speech crimes

What alternative might you suggest? This constitutes WAY more than a speech crime! Get a grip on common sense and reality…..think Tumbler Ridge and escalation of deadly events!!!!

The local press should be pushing this issue to ensure every resident fully understands what this guy did, and virtually force him out of business and living in that community. No need for police action!

We have arrived at a place where we want the police to do more than they are qualified to do ... They should not be enforcing speech crimes ... put it out in the media , go to city hall , go to his business with a sign ... People need to take responsibility for what goes on in their communities and not just call authorities to fix things ... We are at the point where if we hear our neighbour screaming for help we need to call the police because we could be sued or arrested if we try to help ... Yes,, think Tumbler Ridge ... Did the police watch the doctor to make sure the kid wasnt taking anti depressants needlessly ? Are they policing the school counselors and psychiatrists ? Where did he get those guns ? The police are paid for and appointed by politicians , hence the fear by the police of misusing pronouns... The media is paid by the government so they even go as far as to photoshop the Gun Man to make him look more feminine... Have another cup of tea dear and turn on the CBC.

People have been charged and convicted for far less (Freedom Convoy Tamara and Chris). Two tiered justice system alive and well.

This business should be charged, not for a speech crime but for bringing in law enforcement under false pretenses. He caused that scenario with his lies and that should be illegal. At the very least there should not be another member of that community who enters the door of this business and the result is his consequence.
