Generally speaking a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty through his day in court. If there is such need for public accountability why is the beef food we eat so differently in need of regulation than the currently questionable egg grading that goes on in this province where court documents are sealed from public awareness and scrutiny?

Recently in this paper there was an account of an over zealous sale barn vet condemning a cow (the transporter and owner) with long toes. After a manicure (to toes no one eats) she was declared fine.

Accountability is fine and needed. Common sense is a rare regulatory trait.

A good start would be to look at what is happening in the revolts in the middle east were dictators rule. Britan and France in 1912 to 1916 divided up and made the countries in the Middle east for colonial profit influence reasons . But dont stop there look at colonial setups by the dutch, spain, etc and the affect it has had on Africa, South and Central America

Look at our present Canadian government parties with PM and premiers doing the same as dictators were mps dont have free votes but are forced to follow party lines. The over paid civil servant management has become self serving decades profesionals.

The Canadian voting populations knows this but does nothing and we now have low voter turn out at election time because voters know it doesnt make much difference to vote Liberal or Conservative,... you get the same dectators till scandles defeat them.

The dumb farmers are too busy trying to out do neighbours or steal their rented land and having braging rights. Then these farmers wonder why so many farmers have off farm job income, AH
