Hugh has emerged in fine form, and he has come out fighting for the unborn political pig in Rural Manitoba.
(Of course I will explain, just wait for it.)
I think I just heard Hugh say we should control the populations of Saskatchewan and North Dakota. But I'm not really sure. Maybe you can advise me?
I'm pretty darned sure I just heard him say he would lift the moratorium on pig farming expansions right about the time pig's fly, though. So read on, intrepid blog-and-bacon lovers!
At a meeting on the 24th in Morden (one great town, btw) Hugh went on camera to tackle the hog farm expansion moratorium issue. When asked what he would do about the moratorium by a certain Mr. Seimens, Hugh said he would base it on science, and not politics.
In other words (my words and my understanding, of course) Hugh would not be dealing with political pigs in this way any longer. Only scientific pigs. Of course.
And no-one got up to cheer, which was odd to me.
See, Hugh believes that Manitoba pigs have gotten a raw deal from NDP politicians. They (the pigs) are being blamed for the green sludge in the lake (that's what the new PC ad calls, green sludge, right?), and for this their numbers have been held down by the NDP Political reproduction police.
Now, darn it if this doesn't conjure up the image of Hugh McFayden rescuing political prisoners after the Manitoba Election of 2011. Serious, doesn't it? That is a sweet piece of politics, right there. You got me, Hugh. I cannot understand why they don't want you out on the town more, btw. I'm 100% for you showing up everywhere, all the time. A 24-hour Hugh.tv internet channel. Serious. I'll help you produce it.
Anyhow, this political pig talk goes over really well in the deep south. Rural Manitoba's interests in hog farming were previously a matter of economics, and power to them. Now, post-Hugh's speech, they may also become a matter of ethics. Free the political pig. Catchy. Darned catchy. I smell the Blue Rod's influence in there somewhere.
Hugh points out, so very scientifically, that many other factors contribute to the green sludge issue. Ever the pragmatist, he details a better solution for saving the lake based on spreading the blame around and holding them all responsible. Stop raw sewage from Winnipeg (really?), and phosphate-free soaps (whoops! nope, that was Dr. Gerrard), and....
...those pesky neighbors to the West and the South and the East. Scientifically, they hold a lot of green sludge responsibility. We must look to control those sources to un-green the lake, Hugh says.
(Ok, are you catching up to my 'heeeyyy... is he talking about babies in Sask. and N.D....?")
Moving on.
The rascal Kings and Queens of the Leg and their Political reproduction police might get smoked on this one by the voters if Hugh can get the message out in time. All the NDP do is blame livestock producers (and then its snip! snip! snip!, you know?) Hugh knows that's bad science. His many presentations in caucus tell him so.
He has an enormous (seriously, he said enormous) number of presentations to back all kinds of other approaches to controlling the green sludge. An enormous number of scientists (umm... presentations from scientists, right Hugh?) really enlightened him to the need to address all sources at once. Tackle phosphate sources across the board, then bring the pigs back a'breeding in Rural MB and wipe out the green sludge, too. Phosphate nirvana, and more bacon. Vote PC, right?
He didn't actually say what he would do if he couldn't get phosphate nirvana, mind, but... he must have just forgotten.

(Mr. Seimens, you devil, did you set Hugh up? Already heard the scary lake sludge commercial? You are one smooth operator, I'd say. And I had no idea you were Leaning Liberal! Whoo-hoo!)
Ok, the NDP are too damned slow moving on the lake (12 years in power, right?) And they clearly deal with political pigs, I'll agree with Hugh 100% there. Under their sweet management of our water systems, we have 35% increased water flow rates to the lake (another day, kiddies, another day.) A truly terrible record, and I write that with all humor off. It is not funny how bad a job they have done.
The NDP, too damned slow on the Lake. And I don't even have a cabin up there. Likely never will....
But hey, you ask... if Hugh will only lift the moratorium on hog expansion after the master plan is complete (watch the video, folks), might that not take a long time...?
Sure it will. Better start throwing the piglets off the barn roof, see which one of them can fly. Round about there kinda long time. Its how we country folk say never going to happen as stated by Hugh.
Sorry, Manitoba Farmers. To fight Hugh's fight against the political pigs, there must be casualties. He should have made that plain going in. Not nice to forget to inform the troops, I'd say. Oh well, the country folk will never support the Liberals anyways, right? (although historically that is where the Party has its roots....)
Seriously, Gerrard is so far out in front of the lake issue, it isn't funny. And we all know that. Partisan?? Moi? Nope. Just have 20/20 vision. Bet you do too.
(Mr. Blue Rod.... Hugh.tv, right? Call me, lunch.)
