The Libs would be wise to start with new blood. As far as Easter, his baggage with the NFU should disqualify him.

Ritz should cross the floor, exit stage right (pun), and disappear.

well whoever gets Ag minister sure doesn't have very big boots to fill

I lose what little respect I have for people who let their name stand and win their seat, but their party loses the role of government, and then they "quit"!

For sure, Case IH. Hope we get back farm programs, PFRA, community pastures. Course I know it would be difficult and expensive to try to replace what was discarded.

How exciting - Easter for Ag - great news for cattle producers in Canada!!!!! Because at a farm meeting, I spoke with him personally with regard to settling the BSE class action while the Libs sat on the Opposition side of the House.

He spouted huge support for us, presenting to Parliament one of our petitions asking for a settlement.

So we can all expect our settlement cheques to be in the mail shortly after Parliament resumes sitting as there will be no obstacles to the Liberal majority making good on the mad cow mess that happened on their watch in the first place.

That's how it works, right?

Good one Burnt...follow that one up for us and let us know....;-)
Certainly haven't heard anything on that front lately, although in a meeting with Ritz, he was going to get some info back to me....never did....

Goodall being the senior in cabinet will have get his leader to put his crayons away and get his big boy pants on now.
