So let me see if I have this right, the Conservatives are going to visit their rural ridings for a love in this summer and get feedback from their fans, sounds alot like the election...are we going to see anything that sounds like a plan to save the family farms, to protect our food supply or stop factory farms? I mean getting rural mail, and internet is important but is it right up their on the very important list when you are losing the farm after 4 generations, and what about rural hospitals? Call me an optimist, just don't call me a fool....

   

Given the overwhelming vote they had to scrap the gun registry, if it is still there by summer , why don't you roast them on that issue? It was the one issue that put the Conservatives in power, instead of opposition. It tipped the balance.
Ask them how long they plan to keep suckering rural people into supporting them, when they have no intention of scraping it, as long as they can keep milking rural suckers for their votes over the issue.

Rural hospitals? Just do a search of the CBC radio's archives from Sept 2006 for the "Ideas" program called "The Canadian Clearances" which compares the Canadian clearances to the Scottish Highland Clearances, by cutting rural services, to force Canadians off the land and into the cities, to leave the land free for unchallenged resource extracation, by multinational corporations. That is the Conservative strategy for rural people.
