The feds sure like this corporate welfare thing.

Give GF2 $ to Agri-business companies like Bacardi to add value to our products.
Inflict pain through high energy costs in Ontario and a CARBON TAX/CAP AND TRADE tax that hurts all goods produced in Ontario.

Neighbouring country to the south does neither of these economy killing policies.

Which company in Ontario will be next to move?

I sure hope our illustrious Growing Forward II farm programs can keep the producers that suffered losses from a horrific harvest in business instead of giving it to well heeled established businesses as likely political patronage payments.

Gee for a second I thought yea I got 350000 to buy that home in Florida. Read Bacardi did and are leaving useless Ontario and useless canada. Either we get in the trump band wagon and play. Ice or we become Mexico of the north!

wtf would they need to cover ?? it was a train wreck here , haven't talked to anyone that got sfa?

Its ****ing government....its not supposed to make sense! Political patronage over real need, no one should be surprised.

I can't wait for the comparisons of putting grain producers in the same company as the Rumsters.

Business as usual in Canuckistan. All factories in Southern Ontario get handouts. When will the west wake up and get on the separation bandwagon. We got nothing to lose.

Well, ahh, uhm, a hug!

Does anyone have access to where all the GF2 money goes?
What percentage actually ends up going to what ag sector?
Farmers need to explain these things to the public and show what portion goes to Big Business.
I wish our groups and organizations would speak up ,

It seems that any meeting posted has a growing forward 2 sticker on it...
