I was in a plane coming into Montreal during the tornado. We had to turn back

Funny how Trudeau didn't pull out the war act on this one! lol

In my place there was a tornado and hail and a thunderstorm and we were ok like WHAT!?😂

[katoffeevhs]

it does not cost $184M to search a dumpsite, especially when you have a timeframe for the dumping. this has been done before; its not rocket science.
