Well that's interesting!
MacDonald, a Conservative senator who failed thrice to get elected either provincially or federally, had to apologize in the Senate after saying during the 2022 Ottawa convoy protest, "I’m so sick of the entitlement in this country and this fucking city. Everybody around this city, with their six-figure salaries and twenty-hour weeks." He had even described his own wife as a "Karen" for wanting the protest to end.
