   are we all flabbergasted by Key’s performance in Question Time today?

            Thanks. I don’t think I could stomach the whole thing, though.
            1. 1.1.1.1.1

               After a series of Key spiteful remarks, Winston was heard to remark as an aside, “What has happened to the Mr Nice Guy?”
               Indeed. The PM is not a very happy chappie.

               The speaker doesn’t want interjections from the “far right quadrant” 😀
            3. 1.1.1.1.3

               I generally fast forward Key, but his sucking in noises are getting hard to miss

                  He’s been sucking in a lot lately. Sign of stress? 👿

                     maybe someone could a transcript, i just can’t bear to watch it at this time a day.

                           oh dear,

                           i have not, not ever had, never will

                           is going to come back and bite bite bite
                           1. 1.1.1.1.3.1.1.1.1.1

                              Key keeps returning to Trusts but refuses to be drawn on companies or other vehicles.

                              IMO it’s a strong sign that he’s hiding something.

   TPP: Battles in Canada to preserve its food safety standards.

   This Thursday, former Health Canada senior scientist and whistleblower Dr. Shiv Chopra speaks in Chilliwack about his opposition to the TPP and its threat to public health and food safety.

   Chopra’s talk at the Yarrow Community School is part of a Canada-wide tour to raise awareness about the TPP.

   The agreement, he says, forces open Canada’s door for American milk and dairy products from cows that have been injected with synthetic Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH), an artificial growth hormone developed by Monsanto to increase milk output from dairy cows.

   During previous attempts to introduce rBGH milk into milk supplies in Canada, communities mobilized and prevented the inclusion based on public health concerns. Chopra helped lead this fight.

   “One of the conditions of the TPP is that U.S. dairy farmers will be entitled to market rBGH-induced milk in Canada without labelling the country of origin,” says John Jones, executive director of Canadian Council on Food Sovereignty & Health. “The U.S. is the only developed country allowing the use of rBGH to increase milk production, and under this agreement, the Canadian public will not know which dairy products they are consuming.”
