I take issue with much of this review, and feel it is important to say so.  This restaurant is someone's livelihood, and it would be awful to have that impacted by a snarky review that rarely mentioned the actual flavours of the food (which when he did, they were were mostly good).  I have eaten at Fence and Post multiple times.  The food is always delicious.  I had the server explain the menu to me one time because I was curious about all of the different cultural influences, and she told me that it is inspired by the landscape of Canada in that it is a country full of different cuisines, and the Chef wanted to use local (whenever possible) ingredients to showcase international flavours.  At one point Mr. Clapson begrudgingly admits to finding the ALBERTA lamb ribs delicious while being bothered that Sumac isn't a Prairie ingredient. While I appreciate that the author is entitled to his opinion, I would ask readers to be as critical of his writing as he is of the hard wok of others.
