      It’s always been a bit of a mind bender. Provinces with a massive industry extremely sensitive to actually being able to grow things in the ground who lobby for a separate industry of which the products actively threaten the former’s existence. Especially troubling when the former is renewable, and the latter is not.

      I suppose it makes sense when the politicians are in the deep pockets of the giant oil corps rather than the smaller pockets of farmers, though farming is becoming more of a giant corp game too.

    “commercial free speech”

    By which they mean lying. They want to be able to legally lie about environment-related claims to Canadians. I’m curious what planet they’re from
