tractors on parade

There were tractors outside my window this morning. Lots of tractors. Blue ones and red ones and green ones (lots and lots of green ones). They apparently are dairy farmers. They apparently want equity with US grain farmers...but I'm not sure how. And apparently they realised that a long line of tractors stretching down the 417, down the exit ramp, and streaming into downtown toward Parliament was a good way to get attention. It must have been quite a sight this morning, with everyone finishing their morning chores and putt-putt-putting down the small agricultural roads to the large agricultural roads to the highway. There's an incredible feeling of power in knowing you're not alone.
