This is very sad - in Canada #insulin 3 vials of insulin costs $99 if don’t have a drug plan. Dr. Banting gave parent for free “gift of life” so people with #t1d can live .. and pharmas making money if this, shame on them! #insulin4all
Trump 8 days ago: It's a good deal if Canada can get a trade deal with China, they should do that. Now: Trump says he will put 100% tariffs on goods and products coming from Canada to U.S. if Canada makes deal with China So basically no one in the world can do anything without America's permission?

Ever have a relative who is a big dumb ass but has money so everyone pretends whatever idiot thing they are pontificating about is interesting?
Trump: "When you look at football in the US, soccer -- we seem to never call it that, because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football. But when you think about it, shouldn't it really be called football? We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff."
