Doom scrolling since 2016. I say fuck, a lot. I'm a man. I can change. If I have to. I guess. I'm an Albertan who's sick of my neighbours being targeted with bigotry and racism. I block without warning or apology. #ABPoli #LeafsForever #BillsMafia

China will win a trade war. They do not care who among them suffers because of it, just that it is something they must win.
