@juststacey_ @ironcladfolly @BlindEnthusiasm That’s fair!

@bellyofawhale That’s fair. I forgot how nuance can get lost in this kind of medium. I’m trying to make things calm vs. making them exciting.

@DoktorZee It’s what I figured you meant. It was just such a charged word, given the circumstances.

It's nice to see an apology where one was warranted. You can read for yourself and make your own decisions on forgiveness/bygones. I can only hope that this would have come out even if Nickel won. #yegvote

@juststacey_ @ironcladfolly @BlindEnthusiasm That’s true re: the donation amount. I also donated more than that total in this election to Kirsten Goa, Rhiannon Hoyle, and Keren Tang. I presume you’re seeing that as well.

@bellyofawhale Hey - it looks like my use of “exciting” was unclear here. The point was I was committed to making my statement regardless of the election outcome. It would have been “exciting” if I came out strong against a recently elected official. 1/2

@bellyofawhale Yes, it would have. And that would have been very exciting.

@juststacey_ @ironcladfolly @BlindEnthusiasm The “excitement” I’m referring to is coming out strong against a recently elected public official. I’m not the kind of person that wants to be fighting with people in public but I was committed to if required. Did you ready my statement?

@juststacey_ @ironcladfolly @BlindEnthusiasm Stacey - that is incorrect. I stated it would be “exciting”for me to post my statement if Nickel was elected mayor, not that I’d be excited that he was mayor. I was committed to posting it either way, win or lose. 1/2

@kendraSmills @BlindEnthusiasm Hi Kendra - I’m happy that you like our beer and hope that you get a chance to read the statement I put together discussing the context and my failings. Hopefully I can redeem myself somewhat and you can enjoy our beer again. gregzeschuk.me

@Stephwolfe101 @BlindEnthusiasm @Biera_YEG Hi Stephanie - I understand your disappointment but hope that the statement I’ve put together can explain my actions to some degree. It definitely wasn’t my finest moment: gregzeschuk.me - hopefully you can still include Biera among your favs.

@xX___Missy___Xx @ironcladfolly @BlindEnthusiasm @Biera_YEG Exactly. Loved that place. Oh well there are plenty of other brilliant YEG eateries and find another fave I will.

@bigwickerjim @BlindEnthusiasm There are indeed a number of excellent breweries near us - I’d encourage you to visit all of them. If you do ever waver and think about visiting us I’ve put together a statement that hopefully provides a broader picture into my actions - gregzeschuk.me

@ironcladfolly @BlindEnthusiasm I guess I will just spend my money at the other 5 or 6 breweries in the area.

@DaneD44 @BlindEnthusiasm Hi Dane - I can certainly understand your disappointment. I’ve put together a statement explaining my actions - gregzeschuk.me - hopefully it provides some insight

@AllieBeeFree @BlindEnthusiasm Hi Allison, I’ve put together a statement regarding my donation. It provides a perspective on my actions that show a different motivation - gregzeschuk.me

I know many businesses choose to donate to conservatives because they pander to the fiscal bottomed line (not saying that actually ends up happening...) I will not be supporting @BlindEnthusiasm now either.

@mspixieriot @bellyofawhale @BlindEnthusiasm Hey folks - I understand your disappointment. This is an official statement I made regarding the donation - I hope provides some insight into my donation. gregzeschuk.me

@bellyofawhale @BlindEnthusiasm Oh nooo, that actually is really disappointing.

Really disappointed that @BlindEnthusiasm donated to the Nickel campaign.

@3olar1 @budderbuns @HulshofMathew @Biera_YEG Believe it or not so am I…:)

Will remember every #yeg business that put a Mike Nickel sign in their window.

@CanaDanDavis @ironcladfolly @BlindEnthusiasm Thanks for the support. I’ve put together a personal statement on my donation - gregzeschuk.me - hopefully that provides the full picture.

@ironcladfolly @BlindEnthusiasm I still dig the food at biera. Christine Sanford is awesome. I don't know, I think I'll still go there.

@WhoBelongs @biera @BlindEnthusiasm I think it was fair to not feel great about it. I saw earlier in your feed that you saw my statement so I won’t repeat it here.

@juststacey_ @Biera_YEG Hello Stacey, I hope I can redeem myself so I you can enjoy Biera’s nuggets again. I put together a statement to explain my actions. That donation wasn’t my finest moment and I hope this helps to provide a perspective: gregzeschuk.me

@xX___Missy___Xx @Stephwolfe101 @ironcladfolly @BlindEnthusiasm @Biera_YEG @MikeNickelYEG Nothing. There are no strings with my political donations. Perhaps they’re implied but I just don’t operate that way. My goal is to quietly operate my restaurant and breweries and if I need help I’ve learned how to do it myself.

@xX___Missy___Xx @Stephwolfe101 @ironcladfolly @BlindEnthusiasm @Biera_YEG @MikeNickelYEG To get to the level of donations I’m doing now has taken some active planning. I’ve been helped by a variety of people that I really appreciate. My motivation is to try and “share the love” to a variety of worthy causes. Always more to do.
