A Cornwall man walked into loneoakbrew in Charlottetown on Aug. 1 and asked for a beverage as a way of showing his support for a business that has been the target of hate-filled comments and phone calls since late July.
“What has been happening is absolutely ridiculous," Dave Brown told SaltWire Network as he sat at the bar, referring to the reaction that followed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau eating lunch at the pub and posing for pictures on July 22.
Jared Murphy, second from left, co-owner of Lone Oak Brewpub in Charlottetown, said the wave of positive comments from the public following an initial bad reaction on social media after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s visit to the pub on July 22 has meant the world to his staff. Pictured, from left, are staff members, Emma MacKinnon, Murphy, Jenna Pellerin, Taylor Gillis and Sarah MacWilliams.
While at the pub on July 22, owners, staff and customers had their pictures taken with the prime minister. The pub later posted those pictures on its social media platforms. “It’s unfortunate to see someone take it as far as vandalizing our property, but we’re hoping that is the extent to which a small group of people are willing to go," Murphy said.
