Yes, troll talk. Leave and don’t come back to this thread. Also, why would you have a funeral for a dog?
“Seventy-five cents of every dollar of capital spending for defence goes to the United States. That’s not smart,” - Carney Yes! Lets spread it out to those who might be willing and able to defend ournational security so we can continue to support each others’ cultures!
