Haven't posted in a long while because of all the nonsense around us. Needed a break. But this guy hits the nail on the head every time. He's worth the follow.
Went to the grocery store this morning
Bread, milk, eggs
$47.63
The screen asked if I'd like to round up to support a children's hospital
I pressed no
The cashier looked at me
The woman behind me looked at me
My wife looked at the ceiling
Again
This company made $14 billion last year
They can round up
Went to get gas after
The pump asked if I'd like to add $1 to support veterans
I support veterans
I pressed no
A $200 billion oil company asking me to fund their charity while I'm paying $3.89 a gallon
That's not philanthropy
That's outsourcing
Drove through for lunch
Taco Bell
The screen said "round up for education?"
A fast food company asking me to fund scholarships while paying their employees $11 an hour
I pressed no
My wife said "you know you're arguing with screens today"
She was right
But the screens started it
Went to the pharmacy
Picked up a prescription
$340 after insurance
The screen asked if I'd like to donate $1 to help families in need
I just paid $340 for a medication that costs $4 to manufacture
And now you want a dollar
I pressed no
The pharmacist said "it's just a dollar"
I said "it's never just a dollar"
She didn't respond
Got home
My wife said "you said no to a children's hospital, veterans, education, and families in need today"
I said "no. I said no to four corporations who want me to fund their goodwill so they can put it in their annual report"
She was quiet
Then she said "you're not wrong"
I said "I know"
She said "but you're still going to look like a monster"
I said "I'd rather look like a monster than quietly fund a billion-dollar company's PR strategy at the register"
She didn't disagree
But she didn't look at me either
Plz fix. Thx.

Wouldn't it be a shame to make Katie's ostrich go viral and make these tyrants become famous around the world.
Resolve to resist by standing up for #savetheostriches. Stand by Katie and the Universal Ostrich farm's dancing ostrich @OstrichFarmBC
@InspectionCan & @rcmpgrcpolice & @MarkJCarney need to stand down so the farmers can feed their healthy ostriches!

If you break into someone’s home, they should have a right to use reasonable force to defend themselves from the invader—full stop. cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/l…
You know the night is not starting off right when you can't reach the Elections Canada Homepage.

The pollsters and media are trying to demoralize you out of desperation.
If you haven’t voted you need to show up in numbers on Monday.
VOTE!
Don't let Liberal fear make you vote the wrong way or, indeed, the regret will be forever!!
Vote Conservative for Change!

As a 17 year old in Canada, I am very nervous about my future in this country if the Liberals win again.
Please if you are reading this, vote conservative for the younger generations!!

I love that the CPC costing plan was audited by two individuals who have impeccable credentials - a former Chief Economic Analyst at Stat Can and a former Associate Deputy Minister at Finance.
Still looking for who audited the liberal plan.
