Editorial: Point of pride

By
Have you ever noticed how a lot of people feel like anyone who disagrees with them is too stupid to know better? Nowhere is this more widespread than the political realm and the trend seems to grow with each passing election campaign. Not only are people wrong if they disagree, they’re uniformed, irrational or biased

Editorial: Hedge your risks: go underground

By
The dust is settling in the wake of last week’s U.S. election but it will be a while yet before we understand what the results mean for Canadians, including farmers. It’s an understatement to say Donald Trump’s election win came as a surprise, quite possibly even to him. The fact that his opponent received more

Editorial: Of interest

By
Ordinarily there’s not much interesting about interest rates. If things are functioning as they should, most of us rarely think about them. Anyone who does bring them up soon finds it’s a surefire topic to make a dinner companion’s eyes glaze over. But when they do get interesting, it’s rarely a good news story. Just

Editorial: More of the same?

By
There’s a certain predictability to how the next round of agricultural policy discussions are unfolding. With the Growing Forward 2 suite of programs set to expire in March 2018, many expect that what follows will closely resemble what’s being replaced. That might not serve Canadian agriculture particularly well, however, since the sector is facing a

Editorial: Feeding the fish

By
There’s a familiar trope of editorial cartoonists that features a chain of fish, small to large, with each larger incarnation set to consume the next smallest, until the tiny, blissfully unaware minnow at the very end of the food chain. It’s an image that’s been much on my mind lately as I’ve watched the latest

Editorial: Armchair economist

By
It’s been said that anyone who thinks about economic forecasts for more than about a half an hour a year is wasting their life. A professional economist told me that, and what she was getting at is the intractable nature of economics. Even the experts can’t agree on what’s happening, or has happened, never mind

Editorial: Quiet dedication

By
It was nearly 10 o’clock this past Tuesday evening, when my phone quietly buzzed, indicating an email had arrived. Despite what countless mental health experts have to say about not obsessively checking your work email during non-work hours, I couldn’t help but take a peek, as my curiosity got the better of me.
