Do you always check that this is the case? Do any of the people boycotting Earl's check the sourcing of every restaurant they go to before eating there?

And that's where Earl dropped the ball IMO. No one really takes the time to find out, because they honestly don't care. Had Earls just did it quietly and not announced it, they wouldn't have had the backlash they seem to be having right now.
Maybe their end goal is to appeal to other markets, who knows. But if there's no end game, it was a foolish move to alienate Albertans already feeling a little like it's us against the world these days.
