Here's a formula to try: replace all of the bat shit crazy people in your federal government with sane ones in the next election. Wait for another election so that we know that you won't just vote the crazies right back in again like last time.

I nabbed these when we were shopping yesterday. I love them on toast, topped with cheese and a fried egg. =9
They were one of the two unplanned purchases we made.

Nobody is accusing him of not being Canadian. He's just a lousy one.
Maybe we're being unfair to him, though. I mean, what loyal Canadian _hasn't_ donned MAGA gear and openly supported the president of a hostile country who openly threatens the existence of your birth country?
