The location maybe different but the story is the same across the world. It isn't just in our backyard.

Western Canadian farmers use to hold protest rallies back in the 80s and 90s. Quebec farmers were just holding protests against the railways this fall in Ottawa.

Western Canadian farmers are so divided on everything. You got the WCWGA being sponsored by big Ag companies and the railways, do you think any of their members would ever protest?

Agriville is the only place any protesting ever happens.

This whole mess is a direct result of the incompetence of Trudeau's government....consultations should have started with the hereditary chiefs long ago and once they signed off ...in writing...and witnessed....with a smudging ceremony....then the band chiefs with the same procedure....

Alll they created was an excuse to do nothing and continue to run this country into the poorhouse....

I don't care if this goes on for a while....a few more people need to feel the pain from the incompetent assholes in Ottawa...

While the chiefs have an issue they should just be put on the list.....because farmers have been trying to get something on trade and BRMs for years...

Someone give them a number.....

that or a liquor store...

Post Office would have worked but now I suppose they all get their cheques by direct deposit.

The only way we could drive our point to the city folk is to not plant for one year. But they have this figured out by keeping us dept ridden so this will never happen.

50/50 summer fallow would throw a wrench into the system. Could probably mothball the grain dryer.

There are people out there that keep other people debt-ridden? What a$$holes! How do they do it? Do the give them and credit card and threaten to kill their family if they don't use it? Do they beat the shit out of them until they go buy a new truck or combine?

Jesus, I had no idea there were such sick fuucks around doing this stuff to people. I will be watching for them now.

And don't have to do it like old days, chem follow or strip till 50/50. Seeding with drills and straight cutting has opened a lot of options.

CN & CP are probably in support because pipe line means no more oil by rail..
That is why their police is nowhere to be found..
