We received a letter from the city of Brandon’s Water Department advising us to get our tap water tested for lead. Surely they know lead is in the water so are they just trying to avoid taking responsibility for the contaminated water? Who knows but if they actually cared about our water they’d stop poisoning it and apologize for not taking action sooner.

Is that where 'Let's go Brandon' comes from? :)

I’m sure most people in the US would think of Brandon Florida not the city in Manitoba. We’re 2 hours west of Winnipeg. The nickname for this city/town is the Wheat City and the junior hockey team is called the Wheat Kings so there’s a big affiliation with wheat and farming in general. Most people here don’t know how think critically, very obedient.

Yes. There is a Brandon in the UK in Suffolk which I have been through, but had forgotten until now.
