First off, a fund raiser was held in Steamwhistle's events space. After a couple of people whined on Twitter a statement issued disassociating themselves from the party and the individual. Steamwhistle pointed out that they regularly host events of a political nature though, when asked, they were unable to cite an example where they took the money and quickly distanced themselves from their customer. This succeeded in upsetting those were were for Poilievre as well as those against, which is perhaps not the wisest of business decisions.
Similarly, M. Poilievre was photographed drinking Oast House beer. Oast House, reacting to Twitter, was quick to take pains to disassociate themselves. Years ago when we were there I did not think it worth mentioning how rude one of their employees was to my African born wife but maybe this is less an aberration than I thought at the time.
