It went on to become the tenth-highest grossing film of all time. .In a post on Twitter (‘X’), Poilievre used the meme to promote his party’s own tax policies. “No. You are not hallucinating. This is the kind of whacko stuff Trudeau’s tax department is busy posting to make you forget they are taking more of your money than ever before.”The irony is that the Minons are a licensed trademark..Added Calgary Nose Hill MP Michelle Rempel Garner: “Canadians are being taxed up the wazoo while their cost of living spirals out of control… Y’alls better not have spent any tax dollars licensing that GIF.”.As an update to this original story: as of 2:30 MST, the original CRA post had been taken down And was no longer available..This is what the Western Standard is up againstThe Trudeau government is funding lies and propaganda by directly subsidizing the mainstream media.
