Toronto brewery distances itself from Poilievre after the event, is that commonplace?
We visited the Steam Whistle Brewery to see if they send out letters distancing themselves from other politicians who host events at the venue, or if it’s a privilege reserved for Conservatives.

On Tuesday, April 19, Pierre Poilievre swung by downtown Toronto to stage another standing-room rally, this time at the Steam Whistle Brewery.
While a good time was had by all, the evening ended on a bitter note – not due to anything Mr. Poilievre said or did, but rather, thanks to a bizarre letter that was distributed later that night by the brewery.
The missive was written by Sybil Taylor, the communications director for Steam Whistle, and it states the following:
Re: Event booking in Locomotive Hall, Roundhouse April 19th, 2022 Pierre Poilievre Meet and Greet.
Steam Whistle received a last-minute booking for this event on April 13th. Steam Whistle is in no way affiliated with Pierre Poilievre, does not endorse his political views, nor did the brewery sponsor the event. The candidate submitted an inquiry and went through the traditional booking process as any other paid client would for an event booking, whether it be for a wedding, corporate event or private gathering.
Over our 22-year history, a number of different political candidates/parties from all three branches of the Canadian government have rented our community event space(s). We do not choose our clients; rather they choose our venue for its amenities, size and location. We have upcoming bookings for other political events this year.
Contact Sybil Taylor at sybil@steamwhistle.ca for further information.
Interesting… it appears that Steam Whistle Brewery, being situated in leftist Toronto, received some blowback from the cancel culture mobsters. And so it is that the brewery is now distancing itself from Pierre Poilievre and “his political views.” Of course, Steam Whistle did not distance itself from taking Mr. Poilievre’s money for the booking, mind you…
And since Ms. Taylor offered up her email for “further information”, I responded. Here were my three questions to her:
- What was the purpose of this letter?
- What prompted you to write this letter?
- You state in the letter that other political events have been staged at the Steam Whistle venue. In the aftermath of those events, do you send out letters similar to the one you distributed regarding the Pierre Poilievre event last night?
The response? Silence.
So, we visited the brewery to get Sybil (or any other spokesthingy) on camera. We waited for more than an hour, and yet nobody would engage with us. Apparently, there was an important board meeting going on. Apparently, the feedback Steam Whistle is receiving from that pathetic letter is both voluminous and furious.
And talk about a self-inflicted wound resulting in a PR black eye!
The leftists that condemned the Poilievre event likely still loathe Steam Whistle for allowing it to occur; meanwhile, Steam Whistle has now created a new enemy base — namely, Poilievre supporters who are livid over that ludicrous letter.
How sad. How Cowardly. And one must ponder: in the months to come, given that Steam Whistle is seemingly pissing off everyone on the political spectrum, will this brewery be the latest corporate entity to experience that debilitating affliction known as, “Get woke, go broke”?
Toronto Sun Reporter: Pierre Poilievre, with his night rallies filled with pink skin and grey heads, is prompting me to ask that question of myself: Am I wrong?
Candice Malcolm Show! Candice looks at the latest developing fake news storyline in the legacy media, which is that Pierre Poilievre must be racist because he appeals to too many “white people.”
Rather than critiquing conservatives on substance, lazy journalists would much rather simply hurl insults because apparently having “white people” at your rally is a bad thing.
One substantive critique of Poilievre did come from the CBC – where “experts say” that contrary to Poilievre’s critique of government borrowing and printing of money, the real cause of inflation has little to do with government.
“Government spending is one of many factors pushing prices up — but it’s a relatively modest one,” said one left-wing economist defending Trudeau. “It really doesn’t matter what Canada’s government spends,” said another. You can’t make this stuff up.
Another CBC article goes even further in defending the Trudeau government, telling us that the “pick-up truck tax doesn’t exist” – this despite the tax being listed in a government report released by Trudeau’s Environment Minister.
The CBC may not understand basic math, economics, civics or how laws are passed, but they do understand where their bread is buttered: they exist for the sole purpose of defending Justin Trudeau.
Regardless of the media smears or Twitter Toxicity, the truth can be viewed in the video below.
DYSTOPIA - A Justin Trudeau Canada 
You see, the past two years I really begun paying attention to national politics, policies along with the campaigners I am considering supporting. That’s the reasons why I’m behind JOE COLLINS FOR CONGRESS throughout this upcoming elections. Mr. Collins is exactly the kind of congressional contender everyone ought to back. This guy spent thirteen years in the Military safe guarding our rights and liberties. Now he’s campaigning for U.S. Congress to protect our communities and he’s bringing new ideas and fresh energy within your politics. Joe is fighting for things I care about like enhancing my kids schooling & protecting my town from failed Democratic policies. The good thing is, Joe Collins desires to get back quality jobs enhance economic empowerment and fight homeless which are actually essential to my community. His election is critical to us so make a $300 dollar donation today to Joe Collins III for Congress like I did so we can get his information out & be triumphant in this congressional race. https://bit.ly/3Mzaa6A
