On news that the roof of the Ontario Science Centre has not collapsed under all the snow, it's a reminder of the whole giant grift. Ford closed permanently the Ontario Science Centre because DeGasperis wants that land, and Ford owes him. Vaughan Working Family helped install Ford in 2018.

Time to turn off the taps. Not a single bottle of American wine, beer or bourbon should be sold anywhere in Canada. From here on in I will only drink "freedom" wines from Canada, France or Spain. As for the beer? It's shit anyways. True. North. Strong. Free. @strongasfuck
