The Dairy Election?

by Alastair Young

'Cause, like, "Moo!"

So the candidates have been campaigning for a couple of weeks now, the platforms are out, and apparently they are already all out of ideas to talk about.

I don’t understand how Harper can possible win elections, he runs the most horrible campaigns. When he’s not busy trying to tell us how much better he is than Trudeau, he’s deciding that current dairy policy is some kind of election issue.

Seriously? Why go out of your way to say you’re protecting the dairy industry. Oh yeah, because when you actually plan on screwing over everyone in the agricultural industry.

Harper argues that he is going to open global markets for Canadian agriculture but maintain supply management.

Yeah, good luck with that. Everyone loves to be told that you should get open and free trade agreements while also maintaining protectionist policies.

Let’s be honest, what farmers want and what conservatives want, are diametrically opposed. Good or bad, that’s not the point here, but can the conservatives please stop blowing smoke up every groups ass and be honest about their policies.

Actually give them some credit, they know perfectly well if they shared that plan they would lose all hope of a majority.
