She has one of her minions, failed Green Party Candidate for Ottawa Tom Milroy, post a rude tweet to his twitter account attacking Albertan’s.
In correspondence with Yurdiga, The National Telegraph learned that the city’s mayor is considering a request for “Additional support from National Defence.” If the situation worsens, the potential for National Defence to “blow up the ice blockades” that have exacerbated flooding in the region remains.
As Conservatives, we talk a lot about family values. Because that’s at the heart of everything we are fighting for. Unfortunately, though, we forget in this crazy barely making ends meet a world that we sometimes put other things in front of family in the name of family. I myself will be guilty of that.
