If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

I don’t benefit from the dental program or $10/day daycare

I don’t need the Canada Child Benefit & I already have coverage for diabetes medicine should I need it

I vote in favour of these things because it’s not just about me

Being Canadian means caring about all Canadians
