OTTAWA – The Conservative Party of Canada has officially announced that in addition to walkable cities, vaccines, and transgender children, they are also deeply afraid of eating bugs.

“We WON’T Eat Bugs,” the CPC said in an online petition it posted this week. “No one is asking us to, but we’re so scared someone might, and it could be Justin Trudeau. And that makes us furious and so very frightened of this version of Justin Trudeau that we made up who is making us eat bugs.”

just dropped? It's been in the right-wing conspiracy circuit for years.

I was expecting it to be the clip from Paul Joseph Watson 'I will not eat the bugs' that made the rounds a few years ago.
