Turning a blind eye to a world of opportunity

23 Apr, 2012 | By Hill Times | As the world's seventh largest arable land area, we are exceptionally placed to profit from this boom in food sales. Canada's economic equivalent of Silicon Valley could run across the Prairies. Yet, for all its posturing, the Conservative government is squandering this opportunity.

Minister Shea Fails to Explain Policy Change

But we will not reduce crime in the long run by putting more people in jail and giving them even longer sentences.
