    This is so typical of the Canadian government. The effectivly FORCE you to use this site as they try to cut costs and reduce "call in" support. Then, they create a ToS which absolv…

    Non-American here. Any "lawyer" around as the laws seem very unclear. In the case of Whole Foods vs BLM shirts, the courts ruled in favour of the "uniform" and banned the BLM shirt…
