Just checked and yup: it’s still up on the conservative’s website: the urgent issue of bug consumption in Canada. Let’s not get distracted in this election by those non-issues like war in Gaza and Sudan, climate change, grossly unequal tax policy …
The conservative's website still claims the liberals are going to force us to eat bugs 🙄
