    Ag subsidies

    www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/politics/former-pm-stephen-harper-visits-the-white-house-1.3997136

    So Trump offered to eliminate all subsidies and tarrifs at G7 and we turned it down? Wtf? Why wouldn't we be all over this? Save govt a shit ton of cash and an equal playing field. How does our govt walk away from that offer? Could mention it puts food on the table for the poor at the lowest possible cost but I've never seen govt do anything in the interest of the poor..... these tarrifs are doing nothing for consumers on either side of the border. Something Trump and Trudeau are both ignorant of.

    Late edit, nothing on subsidies only tarrifs. My bad but you have to start somewhere and that's a start

    Eliminating tariffs does nothing for advancing the rights of LGTBQs or feminists. How COULD Justin agree?
