Justin time logic... the hockey 'gift' to Canadian politics

[TOM4CWB]

Hi Charlie,

In Agriweek Morris this week shared a paragraph about
Justin Trudeau... the Canadian that belongs in
Washington state or Colorado with there new weed
laws would make him happy.

Justin time logic:

"It is of no account how many times the Little Trudeau
puts his foot in his mouth, but his much-com-mented
remark about the heightened risk of a Russian invasion
of Ukraine on account of the fact that Russia did not
win a medal in Olympic hockey brings thoughtless,
mindless flip- pancy to a whole new level. Any- body
stupid enough to say such a bizarre, senseless,
insensitive, igno- rant thing does not belong even in
the zoo of Canadian politics. Whether he apologized or
not is be- side the point."

So if we had lost and the Russians had the gold...
things would be different in the Ukraine?

Justin is unique there is no doubt about it! Perhaps we
can ask him how to improve grain logistics in western
Canada!

Temps this weekend... minus 40 C...
How about a little 'Global Warming'! Justin...

Cheers

But the fact he is getting press, helps his cause, right?

Better question is why are we going to the Ukraine to help out, when we have pipes freezing, so to speak, here in Canada?

Helping the Ukraine get itself straightened out will put western canadian farmers in the poorhouse.

Its the richest land in the world, if they get ahead, we are truly pooched.

Oh well, if they send some of the right Canadians, the ukraine may never get straightened out.

Is Gerry Ritz going ?????


Cheers

JPJT is coming I'm afraid. Any thoughts on mess
he'll make? More taxes, more regulations, sounds
like his economic policies are worse than his
dads?

[farmaholic]

From the Harper's Gong Show in Ag to the
Trudeau Bong Show in Ag. At least
everyone will be mellow and not give a
shit. Munchies anyone, maybe we will eat
our way out of this mess.

[bucket]

This country is really going to hell in a handbasket, isn't it?

If the little puke could realize some of the mistakes his dad made, and could learn from them, it might make him look like leadership material.

Not likely though.

Take a look around you bucket, Canada is not
going to hell in a handbasket.

We've not only come through the past few years
without fiscal disaster, but no uprisings as in the
Ukraine, or Mass-murdering as in Syria, or
chronic Egyptian revolts.

In fact, while paying down the deficit, borh
Canada and Saskatchewan have paid down the
deficits, while targeting money for rebuilding
basics.

Fiscally, Canada is headed in the right direction,
albeit much too slow for my taste.

Infrastructure takes time to rebuild. Money has
been, and is again, eared for all the ports,
including border crossings which is good for
agriculture.

Wall has repaired some roads and a
transportation hub waiting or us to fill it up with
processed food.

Harper just budgeted $378M for bridges long
crumbled in Montreal.

Farmers have clealry identified our transportation
problem. We've bitched ourselves hoarse. The
politicians fomand press got the message.

Now let's be part of the solution.

Bucket has done an admirable job of
researching and suggesting. Would you start a
thread, bucket and post some of your solutions
on one new thread that is ONLY designated for
positive solutions?

Will the rest of AV'ers post at least one positive
helpful way to get out grain to market faster, our
contracts better, delivery time frame more
dependable?

If all of us post, at the very least. one suggestion
to fix the problem on a new thread, it can be sent
to all the players easily. Would you do it?

Lets step up our game to positive. Succinct. And
practical.

If you can invent a new machine in your shop,
you can damn well write down an idea to help us
market better. . Pars

Good comments Parsley, totally agree.

By the way check out the great speech Brad Wall did this week at the Manning Networking Conference if you have time.

[parsley]

Listened to his compelling address on SunNews.
A stunning presentation in every way: positive,
leading, practical, and laced with humour. pars

I haven't seen it yet, but does it call to action on any of it.

This country needs a shitload of infrastructure money to be spent, probably greater than when they built the transcontinental railway.

Where are those visionary leaders that will take the role?

Where are Diefenbakers, gardiner,s douglases, etc that worked together for the greater good of the country?

Does Wall have it, I think he does, but he needs more people like him.

This is the best I can do, I don't know how to make it a hotlink.

Take the time to listen to this.

[bucket]

Sounds like the next Prime minister of Canada to me.

[parsley]

Think in the next short while, bucket , we will see
some instant- fix-measures.

BUT, as I see it, farmers must be pro-active in
providing input to the big decisions.

Saying what we need, not just what we want.

Saying want is good or FARMERS.

Being prepared to do some work.

Why don't we start an informational website? For
bona fide farmers. And do it ourselves? A map
section: Railroad line maps . Port maps.
Highway maps. Etc. An irrigation section. A
regulation link section. Consumer section. etc.
Etc. Etc

We have to be committed to work at informing
outselves and our fellow farmers.

We need to plan so our farm children dont have
to have to stand on the railroads waving signs.

Please delete the idea of "An irrigation section."

That is one of the most high subsidized ways of farming on the prairies.

I do not endorse the government spending a billion dollars to help 20 farmers watch a pivot go around in a circle and then treat the rest of us like second class citizens.

Just saying.

[blackpowder]

Do I smell fresh air?

[blackpowder]

Bucket. When you have time, would you be kind
enough to fill me in on the pitfalls of irrigation?
Thanx
