I was disappointed in this movie. I was expecting much better than what I watched. I don't think it was the actors, I felt the script was poorly written.

Coffee prices are going to go up again if you are Canadian or American. If you find a store where there's a sale on,stock up if you can afford to.

Of coarse, it isn't enough he pays Canada Proud for misinformation, or has MP'S target journalists like Rachel Gilmore, now Poilievre hires bot farms to harass, threaten and dox people they want to silence.

Every once in a while, he tells the truth. Why do smart people hate him? The other times he doesn't tell the truth. Smart people know that.

Canadians aren't anti American.

America's biggest shit heads, Republican MAGA Trump turds are in charge.

These assholes threatened Canadian sovereignty, waged economy war with tariffs.

I still remember when Trump tried to block PPE & covid vaccine shipments that Canada paid for.

Well, that blew up in their face. I hope the lesson isn't lost on other networks who try to silence free speech for a fascist crinimal in the Whitehouse.

Sometimes it's better to just set the truth free and let the pieces fall where they land.

In what direction does Canada go. Do we let what is happening to the US happen here, or do we protect our Canadian values of tolerance, respect, and kindness towards others become our shared values and as an example to the world.

She's a business owner but didn't do any research on who pays the tariffs? Another case of the I thought it would hurt othe people, so I voted for that, but when it affected me personally, everyone should care that I was fooled by a known liar and con man.

Some just want to take advantage of TFW. Accept Healthcare workers and some Farmers, it's not really needed at Timmies, and local markets. Plenty of Unemployed students.

With all of Pierre Poilievre's barking in the last 48 hours, he finally hit on one issue that has to be addressed. The temporary workers program. With high youth unemployment, I think the program isn't needed anymore. It's only necessary for a few industries.

According to the UN, Gaza city has been confirmed as having a Famine. It was preventable as aid agencies have been sounding the alarm for about a year. This famine and genocide was paid for by the US and Britain mostly. Will Netanyahu face any consequences? Probably not.
