I like your style - someone who might be described as a right of centre journalist quoting a journalist that might be described as from left of centre. Bravo. I’ll read your posts with interest.

If that's the Brian Allison I remember, he understands international trade better than many trade lawyers. Canada's farmers have to, out of self-defence

I will do but I think I need to show people there is something worth paying for. I only started last Friday and I'm at 155 people over the weekend. I take your point - we (the newspaper industry) gave our product away for two decades before setting up hard paywalls and it was too late. People were too used to getting it for free.
