The sad part is I have no life and severe mental health issues so I’ll find a way to whine about Eby and FN on a story about soccer. Yep that’s how pathetic I really am. I wish I could find the help that I need but unfortunately that’s not happening anytime soon. Also the other name I use on here is Bob B
Ok Eby, WC is over. You don’t have to hold off to save the embarrassing protests from International news. Which BTW I am fine with the FN blocking roads and highways if it brings the issue to a head.
Blocking bridges did wonders for public sentiment and support for the climate people.
