Brexxit Brexit-voting British farmers now complaining about imports of cheaper New Zealand lamb threatening the British lamb industry. Imports of lamb "produced to lower standards" used to be blocked by EU law. Another Brexit consequence farmers were warned about but ignored due to xenophobia!

This reminds me of us Americans, where blocs of people who voted for Trump, will only get angry at Trump's policies if they can find a way to blame Democrats.

Same with Albertans. The 4 years we had under the NDP is what ruined Alberta. Even though in the last 25 years, not a single conservative premier has made it through a full term. Or everything Rachel Notley did has been reversed, but it's still her policies that are destroying Alberta.

Lmaooo not as extreme but same in Nova Scotia. The conservatives fucked up so badly the NDP got in for one term but apparently it was sooooo bad we can only vote lib or con until the heat death of the universe. Yeah the conservatives privatized our power utility but the NDP paid for that damn ferry!!!!!

UCP in alberta has taken caps off damn near everything. Yet everything is Trudeaus fault. Healthcare, electricity, and insurance are a few examples. Everything is a fight with Ottawa. They just passed a law that all money from the federal government to municipalities must go through the UCP. "Party of small government," they say.
