Poverty is not an accident. Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural.
It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the action of human beings.

@SUBWAYCanada has just announced they will no longer be using yellow mustard in their restaurants. Let’s #EATFRESH, let’s KICK IT UP A NOTCH and introduce them to GOURMET MUSTARD!
Locally made where 80% of Canada’s mustard is grown, we won’t disappoint.

The Texas shooting is a terrible tragedy and a reminder that more must be done to ensure our children can live safely. What is the current state of America if our children cannot live safely?
The second amendment is not an absolute right.

Ferruccio Lamborghini started a successful tractor company.
He owned a Ferrari, but disliked the clutch.
So he told founder Enzo Ferrari.
Enzo told him “you may be able to drive a tractor, but you will never be able to handle a Ferrari.”
So Ferruccio founded Lamborghini.
