Nova Scotia is taking the fight to MAGA.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.
