If the LPC is moving further to the left, you sure as hell better merge with the NDP.Möbiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851148006420274055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-4614180235712613742012-06-22T11:57:22.294-04:002012-06-22T11:57:22.294-04:00I keep hearing food security and local production ...I keep hearing food security and local production pushed out as arguments for supply management. The idea of the 100 mile diet has really put this in focus. The only place in Canada where a 100 mile diet is even remotely possible is the west coast of BC. Every other place suffers severe winters, limited crop availability, and has no access to seafood. <br /><br />Our modern food security depends on international trade and the ability to bring fresh food from southern locales year round. That is food security and that's why we should be willing to take food from foreign producers. We get fruits and vegetables from California and South America so why not milk, cheese, butter, poultry, or eggs fro the US, Australia or New Zealand? <br /><br />Having a wide array of competing suppliers is a hell of a lot more secure than relying on food from one local source that could fail.The Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762317244980526077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-12446920319415652812012-06-21T18:38:33.104-04:002012-06-21T18:38:33.104-04:00What is the "evidence based" argument fo...What is the "evidence based" argument for having a military which can do more than guard the border? The military costs money, produces nothing, is a drain on our hardworking taxpayers.<br /><br />But in wars in times past, the nation without a military ceases to be a nation in short order. A similar fate awaits a nation that cannot feed itself. Put all the farmers out of business and then some financial meltdown means we don't eat.<br /><br />$300 a year for food security?

I noticed that every time Ms. Hall-Findlay wanted to make a numerical statement, the Dairy Farmers representative interrupted her. He wouldn't let her state her numbers.<br /><br />Ms. Hall-Findlay has improved her skills over the past five or six years. She could make a strong leadership contender. By expressing her desire to get rid of supply-side management of dairy and poultry, she frames herself as a free-market supporter as opposed to those "socialist" Conservatives who will likely support the Dairy Farmers.Skinny Dipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818163310102120130noreply@blogger.com
