Earls Restaurants says they’re backing off their plan to outsource their beef needs to an American company, Creekstone Farms, based in Kansas.
Initially, Earls said the company would be sourcing their beef from the American supplier because they could not get enough “humanely raised” beef in Canada. What Earls says is humanely raised and what Canadians know to be humanely raised are two different things.
Earls wanted Canadian beef producers to submit to a shakedown by a certification cartel called Humane Farm Animal Care to certify their farms as humane and antibiotic and hormone free. Canadian beef farmers don’t need this. They never needed this. They are humane and safe. Canadians like us were rightly outraged and we let Earls know loud and clear what we thought of their decision.
It appears Earls is backing off. They heard your outrage and listened. Or did they?
I did what other media outlets didn’t. I put a call in to Earls spokesperson, Cate Simpson, to get the facts. Is Earls still demanding that its suppliers seek a certified humane designation? And if this is the case, will Earls continue to source their beef from Creekstone Farms in Kansas while they find enough farmers willing to pay the certified humane ransom? The answer is yes to both.
So to be clear, Earls is spinning. Nothing has changed. Earls is continuing to expect the best farmers on the planet to surrender to an expensive American stickering cartel when the Canadian Food Inspection Agency already labels Canadian beef as raised without hormones. Earls will also continue to buy American beef until Canadian farmers kneel before the certification mafia and kiss their rings. It’s a PR smokeshow. Earls will not be serving Alberta beef as we know it tomorrow.
It’s not bad enough that Earls called farmers inhumane. Now they think Canadians are stupid enough to believe these lies? We aren’t. We won’t fall for this.
I’m still boycotting Earls, first for disparaging Canadian farmers and secondly for lying to us.
Go to boycottearls.ca and sign the petition. Tell Earls to stop their virtue signalling and their PR smokeshow. Tell Earls to get perfectly humane Canadian beef back onto their plates.
I’ll take my steak with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. Hold the social justice, please.
“Keep in mind that Earl’s president is named “Mo” Jessa.
Hmmm…Mo as in Mohammud? Perhaps this is a covert effort to introduce Halal into the North American diet?"
I was thinking the same.

Nebraska-based Creekstone Farms, Earls new beef supplier, told the Muslim Eater that: All Creekstone Farms cattle are processed in a manner that meets the religious qualifications of Halal.
On April 26, 2016, Earls Restaurants President, Mohamed Jessa, announced that, from then on, the 66 locations of the chain (59 in Canada and 7 in the U.S.) would get their supplies of beef from Creekstone Farms in Nebraska.
So, Mo(hamed) Jessa gets appointed president and all of a sudden there isn’t enough “humane”, antibiotic-free beef in Alberta and, as if by magic, there is the perfect producer Creekstone Farms. It is mere coincidence that all their beef is Halal processed.
--keeping my eyes open now those stones from that creek are contaminated and are off limitsI had some beers a while ago with some ranchers in a bar in Nevada, and to a man, they all agreed that Alberta beef was superior, in fact that is why they don’t want country of origin labelling. One rancher told me that he was in a fancy New York restaurant and the AAA angus steak from Alberta was 3 times the price of their American steak.
The Clinton foundation funded R-calf was the organization that was pulling all the dirty tricks to stop Canadian beef from crossing the line. It’s good to know now that the R-calf organization is now eating their own and is crumbling allowing the slaughterhouses to call the shots, trying to lower the price of cattle and screwing the producers.
As far as earls lying about not enough Alberta beef to support his restaurant…….it’s just that a bald face lie.
“Texas beef. Best beef there is. Fuck off, Canada.”
I got two things to say in response;
– If it ain’t Alberta, it ain’t beef! And I’m from BC.

And as for Alberta not being able to supply enough beef, you’re kidding, right? Alberta, the beef capital of Canada not able to supply enough beef? That would be the day. There was at the beginning of January 2012 approximately 4.99 million head. That should be enough, you think?

Meanwhile Ft. Mac. is burning & the Prom Minister is having selfies with Alex Trebek. Tomorrow you can probably catch Mr. Selfie posing at an Earls somewhere.
ISO 9000 , remember this scam,
Sheila I support you they are a bunch of liars, tell it like it is,
I always had great respect for Texas and Texans but am rapidly losing it as a result of the comments made by D. Cunt.
He has little to say except for insulting us Canadians.
Someone must have peed on his shoes once. Probably never came to Canada and knows sqar about this country except that we are north of the 49th.
A complete shame good internet space is used by this twat.
DJBT!
