so. I'm still feeding my calves as many of you are. Alberta put in $400 million and we have not seen a penny. Canada wide is going to be given $500 million which to my thought train means less for our province than what alberta already put in. Can we get less than we've already recieved? Namely 0. But maybe I'm just cynical, all's still well according to our powers that be.

Am thinking if there is going to be a federal election in June, the checks will come out quite quickly but if it is planned for later on in the year then the checks will take longer. Just the rantings of a cynical old farmer to, so you have to take that it into consideration lol.
