"Chris Scott is the owner and operator of the Whistle Stop Cafe, a combined café, convenience store, gas station, and RV park located in the small hamlet of Mirror, Alberta, Canada. He gained widespread attention during the COVID-19 pandemic for defiantly reopening his business in defiance of Alberta's public health restrictions on in-person dining and gatherings, which led to multiple charges under the Public Health Act, fines, brief jail time, probation, and a high-profile legal battle that ended in his acquittal in 2023. He hosts The Chris & Kerry Show, while building a large online following through social media where he advocated for personal freedoms and criticized government overreach."
