Wow, the CBC which we give a cool billion and millions in change in our tax dollars is allowing us to comment on this one story...Now that’s a way bigger story than Donald Trump going to jail.

Corruption runs so deep in the state now it's ridiculous. We're all screwed

All I care about is when Trudeau is getting arrested.

Such bogus charges. Yet Hunter and "the Big Guy" get away.
