Fran insisted I post a photograph of her favorite snack. For those from away; can you guess what it is?

Speaking of nutrition and more affordable foods:

It is no secrete that I think the new NNC program has failed to date in its mandate to supply affordable nutritious foods to people in the north.

Without openness and accountability and some sort of mechanism to prove to the consumer they are being subsidized {and not the supply chain} then it will be an uphill battle to convert many on low to medium incomes from junk foods to the more nutritious types.

Perhaps a look at what is happening in other parts of the world. This example down under may be a good model to look at.

Elections Canada has revised the results for the Labrador riding. Still a conservative win but the margin is down from over 200 to just 79. Not exactly a resounding endorsement for the conservatives.

Some interesting nuances in the overall voting patterns for sure.

One of those nuances is the fact the riding popular vote is almost parallel with the overall Canadian popular vote: that is 60 percentile do not fancy a Conservative agenda.

I wonder what Ottawa Wally is up to? Have not heard a peep from him since the election. Could he be loading up the old Winnebago and heading north east or surfing the Ottawa bus routes searching for the illusive el dorado? Whichever it is all the best Wally.
