There have been/will be many well run businesses that fall victim to the economic climate, and a lot of them won't get the chance to go to the paper like this owner did. It's unfortunate but that's the nature of being heavily reliant on oil.

Do I like the restaurant, yes. Emotionally attached, I wouldn't say so, but that's my own biased opinion.
I have no problems with restaurants closing, it happens all the time. Just a brutal industry What upsets me is that is a locally owned business was forced to closed because of on top of having to weather an economic downturn, they had to weather of other factors brought on by all levels of government (Federal/Provincial/Municipal) at a time when they should have been lending a helping hand to keep those doors open, and when the owner speaks out we have a bunch of people telling him to "take some responsibility" or "Should have worked harder" because it doesn't fit with their own personal objectives. Be it NDP, bike lanes, minimum wage, etc.
This was a local business owner who ran a top of the line restaurant for over 20 years. Maybe you might want to listen to what he has to say rather than throwing stones or casting judgement. Many more stories like this are coming.
