    Why does another country with a private health care system even have a say in Canada’s mostly socialized healthcare? Are they worried if they make it the 51st state, the other 50 will demand healthcare?

    Pay very close attention to how politicians respond to these threats and vote accordingly.

      This will be a pre-arranged opportunity for Polievre to play the strong man and “fight back” for the cameras. Expect sudden media access while he performs.

      Trump doesn’t give a fuck about the drug pricing, it’s a strawman. He knows he’s going to get told to fuck off, and if it’s important to him, it’ll be revisited after the election.
