China Taking over Canadian Farms!

[SASKFARMER3]

Im no socialist but this immigration
policy is wrong. This is about giving up
our land to PRC!
This isnt about Business or oil, and oil
is at 80 not 100 lately.
All i am saying is if you have to
compete against the PRC on your home
turf you will loose as a farmer.
This isnt about cheap land etc. ITs
about competing against a giant on your
own turf!

您全部做作為農夫! 歡迎到新的世界!

You participate in this migration every time you buy Chinese mftg goods. This is what our consumer society has done to us. We have no one to blame but ourselves.

[SASKFARMER3]

I agree with you also AG star we all
fell for it. Americans were known for
producing quality products then
companies got lazy and found they could
produce these products over seas for
cheap prices and still make a profit. A
huge profit then the wheels fell off
were all broke their all rich and guess
what we will be working for them.
Welcome to the cycle of life. Only thing
we wont be working for them like they
did for us.

I dragged the politicians into this because they are the ones that are responsible for the laws. Unfortunately, they have lobbyists from all over the world that have more influence on them than the people that voted them in.

If SF3 phoned a politician and presented his concerns, they would politely tell him to **** off.

If a chinese lobbyist phoned the same politician, the ****ing stupid politician would take him out for lunch. The chinese would drink water, the ****ing stupid politican would drink scotch.

Get the picture, yet? I am sure SF3 does.

[SASKFARMER3]

Bingo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phoned our local guy and in one breath no
problem with the way things are going then
complaining how his young sons cant
purchase more property. DAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

My BS radar is going off.

How are these guys going to get PMRA approval for their overseas pesticides?

How is it economical to have Fertilizer shipped from overseas and over a mountain range, into the centre of a fertilizer manufacturing area?

And Harper wants a Freer Trade Agreement with China...what a g*******d simpleton.

[bgmb]

Exactly, i dont see how they would have access to
any different products than we would, someone
would arbitrage that pretty quick if that was the
case.

[highwayman]

Blakeny and the ndp knew the value of this
province? Thats hysterical! If it was up to twinkle
toes Blakeny, Sask farm land would have been all
owned by their socialist Land Bank and we all
would be tennents working for tha state. They
were masters at keeping this province in the have
not category.

[ASRG]

Please send these Chinese buyers to central Alberta. Willing buyers and sellers make the world go round!

[ALLFARMER]

ASRG how much of western Canada would you
allow sold? All of it? Still all good?

AlbertaFarmer4 bang on comment about FCC!

[wilagro]

This whole BS reminds of when Ernie Isley was Minister of Agriculture for Alberta. The AB government encouraged Taiwanese hog operators to come to Alberta and set up operations here...even found areas for them to invest, paid for the studies, lent them money at low rates and generally undercut Alberta producers.

We don't need these QUISLING politicians screwing with our agriculture and making heroes of themselves. We elect them to look after OUR interests and not the interests of the Government of China or its people.

Vote these people out, we don't need them. Phone, write and email the turkeys and make it know that we don't want our farms sold to foreign nationals financed by the Treasury of China.

This is something I will be able to add to over the next while. Close family member is working for a new chinese investing group. All I know is 250-400 million to be invested in land/real estate on initial startup this year. Source says this will be a multi billion dollar land and real estate grab over the next decade.

Apparently the farmers selling out to these
investment companies their "give a s&!%" is
busted. What ever happened to just selling to the
neighbor for a reasonable price?
