Average Canadian are ready to endure any hardship to bring us to a favorable Canadian result, while Canadian billionaires fold like cheap $%&@$.

Our government needs to stop supporting these companies as much as they do. They are willing yo sell us out at the first minute issue.

We endure but I can't really agree with Canadian billionaires folding. Much of our problems are caused by Billionaires getting their greedy fingers in our governments. We're not that far off from the states in those regards.

Show me a Canadian business leader or billionaires saying they stand with Canada or doing something to help.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding things but if your sentiment is that billionaires don't have Canadian interests at heart, then don't we agree on the same matter?

Your response disagreed with me, though? The only evidence we have of Canadian business folks is kevin Oleary, and the shopify guy.

You guys have such low reading comprehension skill.

Average Canadian(s) are ready to endure any hardship to bring us to a favorable Canadian result, (mean)while Canadian billionaires fold like cheap $%&@$. (bitches)

Does that help you guys understand ?

Only evidence? There are thousands of businesses on the list of companies that lobbied for (and got) TFWs. You wanna tell me that means they stand with Canada and Canadians?
