I mean really?
As Polak noted and as I noted, Earls never announced they'd no longer serve that poisonous AB beef. They simply said they were going certified humane.
Do I care? Not really. Earls is a bit too fancy for my tastes. I only buy steaks from "restaurants" where i know there'll still be some shotgun pellets and "animal" hair mixed into my steak.
Do I think it sucks that AB Beef lost this contract to supply? Sure I guess so. I like to see local business do well. Have I ever chosen a place because of their beef supplier? Nope. Will I ever? Probably not.
Am I more likely to shop at a place that is certified humane? Nope.
Do I think a vast overwhelming majority of people would answer those questions the same as me? Yup. Do I think a whole bunch of people will temporarily act tough and go with the groupthink mentality to avoid being labelled some traitorous alberta hater? Yup.
