568...Isn't That Ironic?

Don't you think?

On the first day of a national rail strike, The Canadian Press reports that the Ontario and Federal Guvs have agreed to chip in 305 mill to help update Canada's busiest train station, Toronto's Union Station. T. O. will be throwing 355 large into the project. Hopefully they will keep the reciepts so they can get their 1,300 federal rebate.

When you think about it, a strike is a perfect time to do a reno. No pesky people to get in the way.

371...Finally Good News For Cdn Manufacturers

We are world leaders in one sector.

X.

Ecstasy.

The hug drug.

The Canadian Press reports that the United Nations says Canada is the leading supplier of ecstasy in North America and a growing worldwide producer of methamphetamine.

Number one. And it has all happened since 2004.

That is something the the Harper government can build on and create jobs. The Tory legacy.

Canada, making the party, a party.

366...The Other White Meat Is In Trouble

Pork.

At least in the Great White North.

Chinta Puxley of The Canadian Press reports that "Canada's pork industry is on the brink of collapse and desperately needs at least $800 million from the federal government if hog farmers are going to survive."

I dunno.

Every year, same old, same old from farmers.

Just once, once, I would like to hear a farmer's group tell us that everything is alright, it is the best year ever, better than it has ever been, we got the right amount of sun, rain, whatever and have never made more money.

Just once.
