Bullshit Bulletin, Week 2: Liberals proudly axe some unknown idiot's dumb tax

"Hello, friends, and welcome back to our weekly Bullshit Bulletin. If you don’t remember it from the last election, the Bullshit Bulletin is something we’ll be publishing once a week at ReadTheLine.ca. We’ll recap a bunch of things we heard during the campaign that week that were bullshit. We don’t mean partisan spin or things we just disagree with. We mean things that are either flatly untrue or torqued to the point where truth loses all meaning. We’ll also include room for conduct that may not fail a lie detector test but is, well, egregious bullshit.

"We accept submissions! Send anything you think qualifies to [email protected]."

'Buy Canadian' Reddit post becomes secret ingredient to help save Ontario condiment business

"With so much interest in buying small Canadian companies, I figured I would share her products as an alternative. Your support would change her life. All products have a maple leaf!"

The response was immediate and enormous, she says, with order requests through her website increasing by almost 4,000 per cent, according to Williams.
