"Look what that man is doing! It& #39;s shameful, disgusting, and a blatant attempt to score cheap political points!" 2/
Alas, it& #39;s the Great Pretender, Erin O& #39;Toole, who actually thinks he& #39;s got a shot at becoming Canada& #39;s next Prime Minister (sorry, Cons, he doesn& #39;t have a hope in hell) dragging his elementary school-aged kid onto the political battlefield 3/

It& #39;s a threat to our country& #39;s democracy. Billionaires won& #39;t suffer at all if, say, we increased spending on healthcare, education, helping the poor, & subsidizing daycare. The rich will carry on just the way they were. It& #39;s not any of them that will miss a meal, like, ever 11/
