    For today’s anti-carbon tax announcement, @AndrewScheer will be placing himself just to the right of the produce aisle at a Regina Giant Tiger, a chain owned, I believe, by the family of #CPC MP @ScottReidCPC .

        I believe if you check your information David emissions have gone up in B.C.! I see nothing wrong with Giant Tiger they are the only inner city stores in lots of cities that carry groceries and fresh vegetables

        I like David and always found him fair, just didn’t know why he had to bring the Reid family into the conversation and I had to admit he was using published information. Don’t worry if he goes over board I will be the first to call him out!

        Thanks for kissing Trudeau’s ass bud. The time for being nice is over. We have 2 choices.....one continue on the path we are on & Canada economically is doomed. Or We stand together as Canadians & get real about our situation. I already know what side you are on. 🇨🇦

        lowest unemployment rate in 40 years and an excellent debt to GDP ratio. How are we doomed economically under Trudeau? Do you have any evidence to support that assertion?https://globalnews.ca/news/4739555/canada-unemployment-rate-low-statistics-canada/ …

        Dave, that is for 1 MONTH and should NOT be celebrated considering the article also indicates "Year-over-year average hourly wage growth for permanent employees continued its decline in November to 1.46 per cent – to deliver its weakest reading since July 2017."

        The government trough is drying up. Trudeau lectures business and takes the rug out from under. He is anti-business, socialist elite 1% globalist dictator from que which owns Cda. AB yearns 4 independence!

        For today's Twitter commentary, Global News will be placing themselves just to the left of Pravda. Global News is a chain now owned, I believe, by the Trudeau Government. #cdnpoli

        I love that a doctor who enjoys the most heavily supply-managed industry in Canada, and whose salary is paid entirely by taxpayers, calls someone else left-wing.
