Maybe this has been covered, but I don't really buy the whole "our clientele wants their food to be from certain places, and we are just obliging them" line.
It just doesn't fit the Earl's "crowd". The kids milling around outside while their parents waited inside don't care. The suit/no tie afterwork crowd don't care. The people who go there before Flames games don't care. They aren't foodies. They aren't animal activists. They are people looking for a pretty mindless, easy, not-too-expensive dinner.
The Earls clientele is a lot more concerned about how far they had to travel to get there, as opposed to how far the cow travelled.
This isn't a hack on anyone either. I'm the same way.

Yeah this move isn't really meant to appeal to too many Albertans imo. The restaurants here will continue to be busy regardless, their legacy is pretty well set. This 'humane' crap is to support their US and Eastern Canada expansion
