Now I don't want to dampen the positive comments being direct to us Canadians which we all appreciate. However, I don't want people to forget that this individual talks about making things affordable for their citizens. There is a reason he has resigned. Don't forget that our country unreasonably fights itself on sooooo many things that make items in Canada so much more expensive than they need to be. I was hopeful our own government would make living more afforable for all Canadians by putting a freeze on things such as the Carbon Tax....guess that wasn't in the cards!? Together I hope that intelligence and common decency prevails.
Critiques domestic Canadian government policies on affordability and cost-of-living while acknowledging the PM's resignation and calling for intelligent governance.

This is how a President should present their country and people when speaking. What I don’t get is someone likes to point fingers at other countries for the “drug problem “ in America however no fingers are being pointed at us for all the drugs being made in America. Crack down on the ones who are making it in the USA instead of a slap on the hand.
Critiques US drug policy enforcement priorities, arguing domestic manufacturers should face accountability rather than blaming other countries.
