In Another Instalment of: “M😵‍💫G😵‍💫 Faithful” Abby voted for tЯ☭mp and was all about mass deportation. Now all of Abby’s farm workers are gone either through deportation or fear of deportation. Now Abby is on social media whining because she has to work her farm herself. Have the day you voted for!!

Well from what I see, it looks like Carney is just a lackey, he speaks of our national sovereignty but not when it comes to Alberta. So yes there may be regular talks but from what I see? He seems to be just giving her a pass for all of this. I voted for the man, but he's such a con. *sigh*

Just another tidbit of info, those store packaged salads done up by the grocers, Sobey's, Loblaws, the produce comes in bulk, lettuce, and much of the produce used in those prepackaged salads, veg & fruit are US produce. Do not buy them, I checked at Sobey's and the lettuce, etc. is all US product

I have to admit that I didn’t know, and I even thought the Spanish player Cucurella’s look was quite original, when it comes to his hair, but I was unaware of this: If he let his hair grow , it’s so that his autistic son can easily recognize him when he watches him on TV.
