Our conservatives are more fiscal conservatives and less social conservatives . At least most of the ones currently in politics . There ' s an underbelly of social conservatives that rallied under Rob Ford , and about 20 % of Canadians that support Donald Trump . <| sep |> I ' d encourage you to check out the documentary Hot Coffee , it ' s pretty interesting actually . Doesn ' t mean you have to agree . Like others have said below , at the time of the incident McDonalds coffee was served at a temperature that could cause 3 rd degree burns in just a few seconds . 80 something year old woman seriously burns herself and requires expensive medical care , skin graphs etc . Family requests some modest help with expenses and is told to F . O . by McDonalds . Situation escalates memory a little fuzzy here . It ' s discovered that McDonalds ignored some 700800 previous complaints about the dangerously hot serving temperature . Thing ends up going to a civil trial where the jury decides to award punitive damages amounting to 2 days of coffee sales which is where the big sum came from .
