The Canadian Cattlemen's Association, rather.
--“and he told me not to get too excited about Question Period--he said it was a joke”. He may be right on that point. To quote: “He said that the CCA has an unspoken agreement with the Min[ister] of Ag[riculture] office--if they do something good--we comment on it--if they do something bad--we don't say anything and we will be allowed into the office again”. That's the end of the quote.
Do you have an unspoken agreement with organizations whereby they curry favour with you, and if they don't, if they criticize you, you slam the door and don't let them in the door?
