Canada’s Liberal Party is running on a National Food Policy Platform. What a pretty barn. How many of you knew an election was happening up there?
The platforms of the three major parties don’t differ by much more than epsilon and some boutique tax credits.
A few weeks ago I registered to vote, and my absentee ballot was sent out a few days ago. It’s my first vote.
Incidentally, I once got to shake hands with Paul Martin, the previous Liberal PM at a Canada Day Parade (very briefly; I washed it soon afterwards), and saw current PM Harper from afar at a dinner celebrating the Armed Forces. I also remember trick-or-treating at 24 Sussex Drive, the residence of then-PM Chretien, but met his wife instead.
I bet the liberals covet that farm.
