The PIRA knew that the 1984 Conservative Party Conference at the Grand Hotel in Brighton provided a predictable opportunity to strike at Prime Minister Thatcher, the members of her Cabinet, and many of the other Conservative parliamentary leaders.

CHARLEBOIS: Ottawa wants answers on food prices. It may not like what it finds

Ottawa is once again examining whether a lack of competition across Canada’s food supply chain is contributing to persistently high food prices.
