globepolitics History showed Trudeau senior despised the venerable brave men & women of our incredibly storied Canadian Armed Forces. Little Trudeau Junior has taken it to a whole new level - the coward & his grotesque far left followers hate, demonize & deplore the military & our veterans.
globepolitics I have a feeling the DART team needs to be expanded.
globepolitics Sorry didn’t the Trudeau government recently cause “massive” controversy with in the ranks of the Canadian Arm Forces. Be careful you wouldn’t be the first Jackass to be excited to a small island somewhere!

globepolitics The CF is here to help with the 41 hospitalizations so far in Alberta? Just in the nick of time, we were about to collapse from the strain.
globepolitics Too bad the liberal_party didn't stand with our men and women of the Canadian Forces for the last 4+ years. Too bad it took a global pandemic for them to realize they are important.
