Hello @TD_Canada ! As a TD customer for over 40 years, I am shocked that senior executives of your firm chose to meet with @ABDanielleSmith after her coming out against trans kids. Are you not LGBTQ2S supportive?

@ABDanielleSmith Dani, wrong, the fuel tax goes directly to general revenue, so you can waste money on things like buying back Dynalife for $97M, or buy Tylenot. And the roads Guilbeault was talking about was a road the Quebec City govt didn’t want.
