City Ridings Insure Trudope Win :(

But for the general population that hates farmers and think they are welfare its sure interesting how they are getting interest free loans for green house renos or tax breaks....and if they want to buy a house there is a 50000 dollar handout from CMHC....

But where are our farm groups ...shouldnt they be asking for interest free loans for green ( not John Deere) lower emission tractors????

Shouldn't the logic follow across all industries...

I think it will be Liberal minority with the Greens holding the balance. If the millenials get serious about climate like they did yesterday, they could easily make Greens official opposition. Only way for Conservatives to win in cities will be if the climate vote is split 3 ways.

Or the green vote gets split and the Bloc takes enough seats to hold the balance of power.

Is there still cash available for things like gps and narrow openers etc? I know there are still some programs for grants for some things if you dig deeper. Not saying it is government or party policy. There used to be a whole pile of programs under growing forward for farmers to tap into. Over time it seems these have been slipping by the wayside.

These things should be known to dealers as to what a farmer qualifies for....this constantly looking for grants should be an easy listing on an accessible site...?

It does take insane digging to find some of these programs. Some are there, but you’d never know it most times.

A small example. There is a guard dog rebate for stock farmers. Buy a dog get a 100 buck rebate. Trouble is, what happens? Price of a dog gets jacked up by 100 bucks by the breeder.

There are some riparian areas fencing programs, forage seeding programs, but to find them is near impossible.

It should be clear!

This is probably our best hope. Its a sad day when western Canadians have more in common with the Bloc than we do with Toronto or the lower mainland but that's where we're at. It won't help TMX but it would prevent some of the other Green/Dipper excesses.

It seems everytime government gets involved the price goes up and then you have to apply to get half it back....seems stupid...

They could sell more without the paper work and a lower price....

Or better yet put the rebate to the guy building stuff for him to find efficiencies to build at lower cost....

Instead of jacking the price on a handling facility ...why not have the mfg company build at a reasonable cost and give him the rebate to build another or hire another person......

It costs me the same either way but I am not in the business of building handling facilties. ..

If that makes sense...

We should all just vote for the Greens or NDP it's only 4 years and might smarten everyone up a bit. What is there to lose in 4 yrs anyways it will be the same.

Hmmmm.....it seems to me this experiment recently was conducted in Alberta. I didn’t hear a lot of happiness at the end of 4 years.

Everybody is mad because the conservatives have no agricultural policy, please tell me what agricultural policy the Liberal's, Green's or NDP have? Where will agricultural fit in with the desire to drastically cut GHG emissions that are espoused by the NDP and Green's? I think we have to look at the bigger picture. If Trudeau wins a minority propped by the NDP which is what it looks like now, western Canada will go backwards fast. Anyone who can't see this truly has their head in the sand!!!!!
