Why not a closed-for-business wall?

By
I think if Prime Minister Trudeau had any gumption at all he would build a wall to keep Americans and Belgians out of Canada.

Tory hopeful targets supply management

Let’s get Hillary elected first, then we can worry about milk and eggs

By
I shouldn’t get too involved in Canadian politics until the U.S. presidential election is over. There is no doubt the race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump makes good theatre.
