Lost Albertan doing an Applied Econ PhD at the University of Minnesota. I try to study the Economic History of Agriculture, and regularly get my heart broken by the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Just want to give a shout out to the winners of the Saskatchewan Department of Agricultures bookkeeping competition in 1913-1914. Man I love looking through old annual reports of the Department of Agriculture…

Well I was a tad bit disappointed not to be home for Canada Day… so I hosted a party down here complete with Poutine (made with Canadian potatoes), Molson, and Hawaiian Pizza with Gord, Stan, and Tom playing in background. You can take the boy out of Canada...

Finally, a poor Canadian Rancher in disbelief that a deal to avoid tariffs could not be reached as found in Foran (2000) in Agricultural History

So, thanks to *waves arms wildly*, I decided to write a paper on the history of tariffs between Canada and the U.S. for my agricultural markets class. I found some quotes that seem offly prescient, and I can't help but share them now. First up, this beauty from Paton (1921) in the QJE.

Pro tip for all the broke grad students out there who don’t want to pay for a fancy airport lounge. #YYC has a free lounge which while lacking food and drink, and people in suits, has relatively comfortable recliners and best of all is free!
