    Under a conservative government Irving, Pattison, Weston come together to fund the President’s Choice ® Army! Defending the interests of Canadian families! (And by that we mean these 3 Canadian families exclusively).

    “Restore” the era of private sector paramilitary agents, for Walmart, Costco, Loblaws, Imperial Oil, RBC, Amazon, and every big company you can think of! And use most of the money “saved” for having less than no military to “axe the taxes” that poor ol’ Galen and the boys have to pay.

      There’s a great word for private militaries: that word is “mercenary”.

      And to quote Terry Pratchett: the problem with paying people to start fighting is that you end up having to pay them to stop.
