I know, you were thinking, "Hey, know what the world needs more of? CANADA," Luckily for you, Netflix agreed. This is a series produced by the CBC here in Canada, so you don't have to panic about liking something that Netflix will cancel in a week. Get more funny from the people who do funny best.

This is a simple explanation of how lousy the random tariffs are for small businesses. Lousy for big business, but lethal for the startups who operate on thin margins. Corporations win this round by watching gov knock out the little players.

What happens when you don’t have health insurance when you most need it? You feel helpless. I’ve been there. Our first daughter was born with a serious heart defect, and I couldn’t afford health insurance. We sat in a hospital’s charity ward.

NATO members spent $500,000,000,000.00 supporting the USA in their WAR in Afghanistan. Fighting in a WAR that was not theirs, losing hundreds of soldiers. "We need to hear a "THANK YOU" from the US. And, we want our money back. Let’s say, you give us all of the oilfields in Texas." 🤨 #Resist
