I’m feeling sullenly this 4th of July. Living in 🇨🇦 I shouldn’t care about the Big BB?
I shouldn’t, but I do.

This 🇨🇦 Day will be remembered by me as the day the 🇺🇸 Senate passed #Trumps Big Beautiful Bill.

Hearing people at the fuel pumps this morning I must relent and agree that the Conservative approach to hidden taxes is really the only way to tax the public. #carbontax #rebatecheques
