text: I see the position as setting an example of fact based Public Policy in the Throne Speech, etc. 
  
  So different from the Harper Dark Age and what we see spewing out of the White House these days.
  
  Remember Harper raising the Annual Seal Cull Quota to show those pesky Europeans that they could not dictate Canadian Science Policy? That was the first year that the Gulf of St Lawrence was almost ice free. There was enough sea ice for the pregnant seals to haul out on to give birth, let alone for  Seal Cullers to walk on. They gave birth in the water. Drowned seal pups floated ashore all along the coast.
  
  Remember Crosbie as Tory Fisheries Minister, deciding to keep fishing till nearly the last Cod?
