Throne Speech

[HFL]

Anything in the throne speech about the Canadian Wheat Board?

[HFL]

Found something:

It will take steps to support a competitive livestock industry and pursue market access for agricultural products. Our Government will also ensure the freedom of choice for which Western barley farmers overwhelmingly voted, and it will continue to defend supply management of dairy and poultry products.

[Fransisco]

Same old, same old. Nothing new here.

It was too painful to listen to 6000 lispy words!

It did say for the 5th throne speech time that the long gun registry would be repealed for us law abiding farmers and hunters. Whoopee!!! And I'm sure that hidden in there was a budget for a farmer's monument. Payback time is on the horizon, so be thankful for your bins of durum carry over.

We can't be much of a hockey nation with only 25% of us knowing the first line of our national anthem. Maybe, the winter olympics boosted that a few percent.

Now, the government is going to change it to make it neutal gendered. Brilliant - that's very innovation, important.
