I know that Billy Morneau the wealthy dude who oversees all of
Canada's financea knows we can afford such a simple thing that ALL
Canadain citizens are entitled to be they homeless or not.
Mr Morneau brags of his wonderful life while his cohorts appear to
wish that mine be miserable and short.
YO Thomas Walkom trust that I am judging Bill Morneau by what he does
NOT do and not by what he owns. I am also judging you. The Tornonto
Star is a publicly held company which has been duly informed of my
concerns since 2004 correct?

It's the content of what the finance minister does not his alleged
