This really reminds me of a thing George Bush would do, this guy was eating a cookie and he simply refused to answer a single question, I wonder if any of these guys are crazy or just preoccupied by such things like eating cookies or what? But he should have shown some sort of professionalism without just eating when the press arrived

The irony is astounding! Pray, what kind of cookie was it? Healthy? A chocolate chip cookie? Granola? Oatmeal? heh... too funny.

You guys don't get it. Cookies are serious business!

yea; never gonna give you up.

but in all seriousness, it does seem like a interesting news story aside from a lot of the stripping of peoples rights, perhaps he was testing it for safety?

"I'm still eating my cookie"

There's already that much snow in alberta?????

he deserves a few mil as a bonus for that.

He should feel lucky. If an official said something like that in my country (the U.S.), I guarantee that whole hoards of people would be accusing him of encouraging childhood obesity or some crazy stuff like that.

people in Alberta probably are seeing it is very conservative in western Canada and him being in a health care related field fuels that fire.

Sh*t, you should see where I am in BC. I gotta walk my ass home at 3:30AM through a city buried in snow, with horizontal snow drifts from chinooks. It's probably like -20*C outside compared to no snow a few days ago. Damn climate change
