Ag Canada to discontinue trees for farmsteads

[freewheat]

For those of us with enough trees growing
natural like, what is in it for us? Just
wondering.

???

Free poplar and willows growing in every highway ditch around here.

[checking]

What's in it for you?

Well, not having to do the hours for at least the first five years if you expect much of a survival rate.

Few of us plant PFRA trees with the intent of using them for fire wood. I suspect your free natural ones were made for cutting and burning and regrowth.

You have a ready made environment that attracts certain wildlife that the barrens might only see during migration. It would be a sad world if all your heard were motors running.

Hey checking, I just mean if the south
needs government funded trees, what should
the north get? Government funded ......???

Fill in the blank.

Fransisco: Are we going to invade Poland or something? Do we need more prisons when stats show we obviously don't?
The regular army has never won a war in history. When major conflicts break out it is ALWAYS the citizen/soldier who wins the war! In both WWI and WWII the regular army sat on it's ass in Canada and the farmers/workers/small town boys did the fighting!
I often wonder how anyone can be so blind after all the revelations come out about the the crooked deals concerning the f-35?
How can anyone be so blind that they can support this garbage? Do you bleed Tory blue?

But, but, but...who or what are these big bad expensive jets to be used against?...North Korea or Iran or perhaps Martians?

We are becoming a nation looking for enemies to blow our money on.

[Fransisco]

You don't remember Afghanistan? Or Bosnia? No, of course not.

How's about all of these...

If we're going to continue to put our troops in harms way(and we will) we have a responsibility to give them the best tools available to get the job done.

It never ceases to amaze me how many Canadians hate the military.

As to the prisons, did you know that since 1996 the Feds have been putting criminals who have a sentence of two years or less under "house" arrest?

And how many of these go on to commit crimes, sometimes serious ones while they're under this "house" arrest? Lots of them. Remember the guy who just shot up the Eaton Centre in Toronto? Of course you don't. Well he was one of these guys under "house" arrest.

But yeah I understand, you'd rather get your welfare trees than lock up people who are a danger to society.

We come back to north against south so now we
know why we need to beef up the troops. Just in
case they find their way out of the bush and go
ape over my nice trees.

Trees improve the macroclimate and so if you
like to breath be happy that I am spending every
spare minute beating weeds with my disc hoe.
