- My uncle stopped eating meat, and now he’s lecturing everyone to give it up. He cites all this stuff from medical journals and other scientific research showing the harmful long-term effects of eating red meat. But he ate red meat most of his life, so why should I listen to him?
- The Ford government has introduced harsh penalties for businesses that price gouge the public (charge significantly higher prices for certain products, e.g. hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes). But I need to charge more for these products because I need to pay my monthly Rogers “Ignite Internet” and Netflix bills. If I can’t keep up these payments, I will go insane while in self-isolation.
- BMWs are a pile a junk. I have two friends who drive BMWs, and both of them have had nothing but trouble from those cars
