Investing in land could become a cost – and a big one |
A story we posted to our website on Aug. 11 addressed a subject that, on a fundamental level, is nothing new.

‘Better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you’re a fool, than open your mouth and remove all doubt.’ Whether it was Abraham Lincoln or Mark Twain who said it or wrote it, Preston Manning brought it to life with stunning clarity. Last week, in his column in the Globe and Mail, Mr. Manning opined that public policy should be enacted, rewarding farmers financially in recognition of their long-standing reputations as stewards of the land, and to further the cause of ‘green farming’. It’s a nice idea. Dumb, but nice.

Vancouver, Ottawa and Montreal has been long-obscured by a series of
issues that will never allow for a singular, one-stop shopping approach
to understanding and enlightenment.
