Here's my take on the
#EmergenciesAct
- before it was enacted, trucks were blocking traffic, harassing citizens, disrupting peoples' sleep and the police did nothing. After the EA, that crap was ended. Simple math - it was necessary.

Here's the thing - that small, "pricier" donut shop is Canadian owned. Not an American company with a maple leaf painted on its face. Prime Minister's should support local, Canadian-owned businesses over foreign-owned businesses when that is an option. This time, it was.
Canadians quickly attacked the Prime Minister for his decision to choose a pricier bakery, rather than a fast food joint, such as Tim Horton’s.
Oh Doughnuts had something to say about that.
