The theme of the speech concerned rural Canada being steamrolled by urban-centric governments with their environmental and animal rights agendas. In reality, all this explaining, grovelling and spinning about the importance of farmers has had zero effect in stopping the onslaught. “It’s simple,” I told the farm leader from the podium. “If they’re not scared of you, they’ll run right over you.”
Geez...not sure if I was at that meeting or not. A few things sound familiar, but....
ReplyDeleteHmmm. There's a good point here. Too many municipalities in Ontario have typically elected highly-educated mealy-mouthed douche bags as mayors and councillors. If we'd been electing bare knuckle brawlers all this time, we'd have a bureaucracy that might respect the will of the electorate!
