Trudeau really knows how to pounce on a tragedy. The guy is a vampire.

Well when you have all of these things drafted up previously it’s easy. I’m sure he has a whole drawer of proposed OIC legislation with titles on it like “use in case of mass shooting in states” “use in case of shooting here in Canadahhh” “use in case of water drink box uhh things”
