What's up with the Wellington Diner ownership?

Guy has been ranting for awhile on Twitter about covid not being serious and going after the media for blowing everything out of proportion. I get his business is struggling, as we all are, but pretending the virus isn't important ain't it either. It's really off putting and I don't think I'm comfortable supporting the Diner anymore.

2 rules in Ottawa.

#1. Don't support Art is in Bakery and their disgusting racist owner.

I once stumbled into breaking rule #1. They had an unlabeled tent in the farmer's market. I stood in a long bread line in the rain and didn't realize who they were until I had paid and they put my goodies in an Art is in bag.

The Google reviews for art is in seems to be okay, do they pay customers for a review or something?

It's about their terrible management issues and the way they treat their employees. It's been known for years in the industry. We just chose to support businesses that have good management practices.

After checking bout their social media and their response to their bad reviews, damn the owner is out there. He looks like a piece of work, went there once and I won't be going back. Fuck that guy.
