No Marusko, social media is on the cusp of being heavily regulated. It will eventually be put under the classification of a public utility and its content heavily scrutinized. It is not the future for free speech, probably never was.

The future is playing out in the US already, unmixing people with wildly differing viewpoints that will never find a middle ground and creating strong voting geographic voting blocs. Conservatives on the coasts are moving inland to red states and vice versa. That will eventually happen in Canada as well.

I don't know this lady running, but to me she sounds like one of those youtube farmers. You know take pics and vids of stuff your dad and grandpa built up and pretending its all you. Millennial farmer washing off the quadtrac and posting the video.

From what I heard she is a heavy duty mechanic , is a very good speaker from what I seen at the Agco booth in Louisville Kentucky . She did the Ideal combine presentation there .
I would not dis her off so quickly .
Most likely could operate most modern machinery better than most of us .
Give her a few more years before judgement IMO

Mechanics today hook up the computer and replace what it says.....

Don't know this girl, won't comment either way on her credentials or electability. I'll make one comment, Couldn't possibly be worse than what we have now.

But, this just further reinforces that democracy is purely a popularity contest now, and not sure how we ever return it to being about policy and competency, in the age of social media. Smart capable experienced people( if they had any desire to expose themselves to the circus that is politics), are not likely to also be photogenic, or sociable/likeable, or have time(or ego) to develop a following.

You don't have to agree with everything Farmer Megz says / thinks or does but at least she is trying to be a positive advocate for agriculture. Who else is, only other positive spin in ag comes from chem companies that have the latest greatest snake oil and thats not helping us much.

Inexperience is a condition that can be cured but stupid is forever! My wife came from a city background and after 20 plus years on the farm she is as good as it gets. All the power to Megz, just needs a few of her peers to join her to make a difference.
