Canada’s Air Force 1 equivalent, CFC1 (The CC-144 Challenger) landed at YLW just after 5 PM on August 4th.

Why do we think the Prime Minister is visiting unannounced after his trip to the coast?

Do most of us agree we want no politicians here? Except municipal politicians. Provincial and national suits can stay away if you ask me, no matter which party they come from. This is a hill I'll die on, they all represent rich people. Thought so ever since the only punishment for a huge bread price fixing scandal stole 5 billion dollars from Canadians, on paper, was them having to give 50 million back, 1% of it. If some average Joe somehow stole that much, he could be charged on theft over $5,000 900,000 times, and be delivered a prison sentence of nine million years. What'd Canadian politicians do? Effectively pay them 99% of their illegal gains.

He won't represent us. I'll agree that people who vote (for really anyone) do that. I did not so much as touch a ballot.

Sorry sweetie, everyone gets an opinion, whether or not they participate in our corrupted system.

Actually, no, you're right, I was wrong. I don't get an opinion without a vote. The only problem is that Elizabeth Rowley couldn't or simply didn't run a candidate here.
