  • Too many Socialists!!!

    This would be such a good show, however, Mike or Corus, insist on only socialist guests/segments! Bill Beat, total ndp commie! Keith Baldly, proven ndp supporter, that guest host lady, is pure woke commie! I could go on. At least bring balance Mike! Less socialists!!!
