Today the European Commission will release a draft budget which is expected to make major changes to agribusiness subsidies (the CAP).
I think the only way to fix the #CAP is to kill it completely. Rename it and forget it. I'm not anti-regulation in general but I don't believe it's possible for bureaucrats in Bruxelles to meaningfully manage lands 2500 km away.

Good Morning #Canada
July 24th, 1534, the original Cross of Gaspé was erected overlooking the bay of Gaspé, by the crew of Jacques Cartier on his first trip exploration in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Planting the cross symbolized the ownership of the territory on behalf of the King of France. Today, a granite Cross of Gaspé, erected in 1934, has replaced the original. Amazing that the installation of a religious artifact defined clear ownership of a continent you didn't know existed just days prior.
I have a small Easter Island statue in my garden that I'm going to install in the middle of my neighbour's yard. Wish me luck.
