Hey there, time traveller!

That Manitoba Progressive Conservative Leader Hugh McFadyen finally took a stand against preserving the wheat board monopoly isn’t that concerning to us.
While there’s a majority of producers in this province who want to keep the board, there’s plenty of generally reasonable grain growers who think they could do better on their own. We may not necessarily agree with their stance, but we respect their opinion. The same goes for the Tory leader.
We do, however, have difficulty understanding why McFadyen would content that there’s no point “fighting city hall,” so to speak.
“We can do what Mr. Selinger is doing, running attack ads against the federal Conservatives, we can fight with the federal government and try to undo a decision that’s already been made. Or we can… accept the decision that’s been made and look at how we can take advantage of new opportunities that arise.”
Any implications of Tory sympathies between the provincial and federal parties aside, McFadyen’s comments send a signal to voters — correctly or incorrectly — that he won’t stand up to the feds and protect Manitoba’s interests.
He may want to revise that statement.
