So Progressive Conservatives win in Newfoundland, good luck with that. If you think your life is going to get better with today’s kind of conservatives, think again.
In BC we barely escaped electing them, after the election their extremism became even worse.
They are all MAGA. #NeverConservative

Naturally occurring yellow flesh variety. These watermelons are often sweeter with a honey-like flavor and contain high amounts of beta-carotene, making them rich in vitamins A and C. Yum!😋

The craziest thing about this is the lower support from Conservatives.
They all cried for months when PM Trudeau exposed what happened and ties broke down.
This perfectly proves they do not base their opinions on facts or policies, only who's policy etc it is.
