"That one must defend supply management at all costs — but never propose expanding it into other agricultural sectors, weirdly — is part of the basic received-wisdom package uploaded into all federal politicians’ cerebral cortexes upon their arrival in Ottawa. Otherwise they will feel the wrath of the Terrifying Big Dairy Lobby."

@NunavutBirder This time around, it's not just a vote for a party, it's a vote for our country. We're not just giving a mandate to a party, we're giving the next government a mandate internationally.

That's how I think about #elxn45 as well. I'll be disappointed if the #CPC doesn't win and the Liberals are rewarded despite ten years of no per capita growth (etc.); but at least Mr. Carney would have some good policies.
