Harpauer joins Gormley to respond to Boxall’s comments and explain just how crop insurance factors into provincial finacnes.

The Christmas trend began in 2005, and has since become an annual tradition in many homes. But according to Judge Robert Leonard II, the decision was “a gift to tired parents” who are tired of staying up late and thinking of creative places for their “elf” to appear and to children who get distressed when the elf doesn’t move.
