Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.

Unless Oliva Chow was secretly the rent Czar back around 2015, you can try to blame her. Ask me how I know (same apartment went from $900-$2700 in Parkdale before/after I lived there).

Lol and/or yeah right. You'd have better luck convincing Ford to build a stacked super Highway hemmed in by single family homes and parking lots as far as the eye can see.

One thing no one tells you about home ownership is what to do when your cat brings a very much alive chipmunk into your house, which proceeds to find a place to hide your walls. Reasoning has no yielded any results as of yet.

Bruce McAllister is a senior advisor to Alberta's premier. He hosted the anti-immigrant Alberta Next Panels. He attacked Senator Paula Simons for calling out the racist referendum questions. Now he's openly supporting an extremist white nationalist party's racist anti-immigration policy.

Bruce McAllister: Finally someone on a major stage saying it out loud instead of hiding behind slogans. Shout it from the rooftops please Alice!
You can’t run a welfare state, bring in millions who need support, and keep energy prices this high without the books blowing up. It’s also tearing up the social fabric and native culture. People are waking up. Now watch the mainstream media ignore all of it - while twisting themselves into pretzels labelling her alt-right anyway.

Shannon Phillips: The AfD is the far-right party in Germany that German intelligence services have classified as extremists, Bruce.

Multiple intelligence services have documented AfD ties to the Kremlin.

@ABDanielleSmith
maybe come back from holidays to check in on Bruce. He’s unwell.

This marks the first time in 62 years that MarineLand doesn’t have captive dolphins and the last Canada will ever have. History = made."
