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.”

I tried eating bugs, it's not bad. Aside from lobster and shrimp I mean, grasshoppers aren't that bad.

Silkworm pupae (Beondegi in Korean) are pretty good too.

Why does it feel like the onion keeps pushing a certain agenda?

It used to be funny and didn't feel like it had a political agenda.
