I can’t promise that this is the first time a Canadian publisher of a beloved children’s book series has publicly condemned the bloodthirsty US secretary of defense’s use of its imagery to smirkingly defend heinous war crimes. I mean who can say.

I will never understand why so many Canadians are licking this man's conservative boots. Have some self respect. Unless you're a plute, he doesn't give a shit about you. He's fine with mortgaging your future, and your kids' futures, all for the sake of helping the wealthy get slightly wealthier.
