Yes, if you know that your question was based on a false premise and a photo doctored by sinister forces, that is wrong. If you care about the truth as you claim, you will post that the image was deliberately doctored to cause division and apologize, or delete it altogether.

Did you know that Snow White was modeled after an Icelandic-Canadian waitress in a Winnipeg cafe? Her name was Kristín Sölvadóttir. Cartoonist Charlie Thorson had a crush on her and used to sketch her while he drank his coffee. He used the sketches when he went to work at Disney.

He forced a 30 hour parliamentary session then voted against every single bill, all of which passed. He voted against food for school kids, relief for farmers, home buyers, aid to Ukraine, if there was a bill in favour of puppies and kittens, he'd have opposed puppies and kittens
Poilievre claims that kids are begging Santa Claus for food, then turns around and votes against a national school food program that would help these same kids. There is no “common sense” in the CPC—only blind obedience to ideology. 1/2

Masks will be required for all students, staff and visitors in any of our schools or buses. We have made this decision following consultation with our parents, unions and legal counsel.
We have provided an update on LRSD's return to school plan, including the mandatory use of masks by all students, staff and visitors in our schools and on school buses:
On August 24, we will share more detailed information on all aspects of our plan.

I don’t usually get so personal in social media but lots of people have been asking. I met with the oncologist today and I am officially cancer free. Operation was a success, nothing was missed and it hadn’t spread to other parts. Prognosis is excellent for full recovery.
