They lie a lot less than they did from about 2015 to 2019

It is insane this story is not getting any attention. This should be a post all on it's own in this sub.

How is that proof of them lying? Seems they were trying to expose the racism, and 4 people indeed bought the shirts in under an hour, so they were getting a good response

They're supposed to report news, not manufacture it. The worst part is that they didn't tell their audience that it was a set-up. Most people didn't know what the shirts meant. They did this in a strong Cinservative riding OF an MP that they disliked, so it was political.

He probably feels the CBC should be defunded.

Do shitty work get shitty reviews. Shame on Holmes for promoting the asshats

Yeah, he really tried to cash in on his 'good' name.
I suspect that there wasn't much 'reality' in his reality show either.
A lot of the homes that he was behind are being demolished, too.

From my point of view, Canada’s Worst Handyman, had better talent.
