Have a great weekend, everybody!

Just before Mark is de-platformed, he would like to remind the SVWAG audience of two very important facts.

First, he is but a man shouting into a can, and just because he doesn't like the thing you like doesn't make either less worthy of respect, dignity, and chocolate. He is willing to accept the possibility that he's Playing It Wrong and/or Doesn't Get It and/or needs to Git Gud and/or is just insufficiently evolved.

Second, a reminder that complaints are to be directed to support@aircanada.ca.
