If only he knew a competent lawyer.

    Did he try pulling himself up by the bootstraps? What about not having an iPhone? Starbucks coffee? Avocado toasts?

      One of the greatest money saving tips we got up here in Canada is that cancelling Disney plus ($12/month plus taxes) would help struggling families deal with inflation and make ends meet.

      Thanks chrystia freeland, you out of touch ghoul. That $12 a month will surely overcome the several hundred dollars a month increase in costs to food, shelter, and gasoline/heat since 2019.

      To be non partisan, the federal leader of the opposition also suggested Canada could opt out of inflation by embracing bitcoin, right before it Collapsed 60%

      As you can see, the people in charge up here have nothing but the best, most well thought out advice for the average Canadian and those bootstraps will be pulled up any day now.

        I feel your pain. Canadian conservatives are doing exactly the same BS as the ones in the US. Conservatism is the problem, no matter what is the name of party/country/society.

          I wish more people understood this. Conservatism is the problem in Iran and China too.

          And they’re being weird about it too, from what I’ve heard.

          It’s like they forgot that the US and Canada are different countries

            For a while, mainstream/right wing news especially told voters that many people under the poverty line couldn’t be that badly off since such and such a percent of them had basic conveniences in their living places, like fridges, dishwasher, etc. It was one of those 90s strategies to create resentment against public programs.

        He should get kickbacks from four seasons landscaping, after all he was their point man.

            I think it’s still the most ridiculous thing. Either that, or farting on Jenna Ellis during the legislative hearing and giving her COVID. I’m really not sure which of those is more ridiculous.
