if you want to change the constitution and run trudeau, you'll have to get him to resign from his side hustle, though.

"but, what about your grandparents?" i'm a maskless rebel; i don't have grandparents, i descended, fully formed, from t...

i'm personally more concerned about what the evidence says than what about people's opinions are, in determining whether i should we...

it's going to be the most ridiculous collection of pork-barrelled greenwashing you've ever seen.

it's a bizarre situation... trump is a democrat, and biden is a republican. so, you should be confused; this is confusing.
