That’s it? That’s four cents for every person they deliver mail to. That is as close to “breaking even” as a massive government agency could be! The Canadian Armed Forces lost $73 billion in 2025, which is 50,000 times more, and the government just promised to give them $30 billion a year more.

We don’t need million-dollar ads about Ontario healthcare paid for with tax-payer dollars.

The best advertisement would be an open sign on every rural ER, every day of the week.

it makes sense when you consider that one company owns almost all our grocery stores, and one that owns all our telecommunications, that we would just have one political party that's just kind of all them at once.

Cheaters always win.
Greed is just ambition.
Empathy is for the weak.

All the "lessons" of the last few years need to be challenged at every turn or else we normalize them.
