This is the most ridiculous thing i've heard from the Libs in a few days (LOL). Loblaws earned $800 in profits last year, accused by the Govt for owing $400+ in taxes and fixed the price of bread, yet they deserve $12million????

It most certainly is.

....and we as tax payers get royally screwed or...as a buddy used to say...'they fcuk ya when your up, they fcuk ya when your down, they fcuk ya all 'round!

[WTF]

what I like about this is the media are paying attention and reporting on the fuckery

when you have all sides calling out the Gov't on shit like this then you know they're done
