Goodale Seeks West Vote With $105 Million Freight Subsidy
Peter Holle of The Prairie Centre critiques Agriculture Minister Ralph Goodale for repackaging the Crow subsidy as a new Freight Cost Pooling Program. The piece argues the plan masks old policy, boosts a western farm vote, and preserves western market monopolies while incomes and cash receipts rise. It notes past harms, political timing, and plebiscite politics around barley marketing.
