Farm support

[jazz]

Direct cash to accounts of dairy, hog and fruit farmers.

Long lengthy loan applications for western canada with an instant audit attached.

It’s nice to see I’m not the only one , the only thing that would surprise me is if was actually something that would have some meat and potatoes to it. Not likely tho.

[dalek]

Wow. That was..... wow. Who knew he could actually come off as more insulting to Ag by throwing out a few crumbs than he was by doing nothing at all?

[jazz]

Its not even worth putting up threads for this topic anymore. The answer is always zero. $250m and Cargill got a good chunk of it, some potatoe guys, blah blah.

Ag got zero. Ag, oil, mining account for almost 25% of our GDP and it got less money than foreign students did. Process that in your mind.

[GOODRUM]

It’s been announced?

[dalek]

It’s been announced?

Yep such as it is

- $77M to processors to increase capacity/adapt to health protocols
- $125M to the AgriRecovery fund to help beef & pork producers keep animals for longer
- $50M surplus food purchasing program

$15 million out of the 125 is for beef set aside, $50 million for pork

Wow agstar your hero really stepped up to the plate.

Trudeau and the liberals are a Cancer destroying canada wake the **** up canada.

[GOODRUM]

Hmm I guess hey. Insulting.
We just don’t matter

15 mil for set aside beef. ****ing joke. At $200 bucks a head, Nillson Bros. Feedlot could take the entire amount.

[furrowtickler]

Hmmm and I thought it was only the conservatives that propped up the big business, I guess they are all the same when they get to Ottawa.
Sad to see the one of richest Ag companies in the world get tax payer money while the average farmer gets a loan at best .

[Sheepwheat]

Lol. Truly, lol. Meaning, even I, the anti throw money at farmers kind of guy am appalled.

Love cbc headline, 252 million for farmers. Lol name a farmer who will benefit from this. The 50 million dollar buy food and distribute it program is on the right track in a way, but multiply the number by about a hundred to have any affect at all.

Didn’t he pledge more money to kill babies in foreign countries?

[Braveheart]

No independent hogs left around here. HyLife and Maple Leaf are the winners. HyLife not even Canadian anymore. They're owned by a rich Thai.

[canolacrazy]

a previous poster had it right. 25% of gdp in ag and oil and next to no help for both sectors. and now irving oil down east is going to be shipping alberta oil from the west coast, through the panama canal and then up to irving's refinery on the east coast, rather than just building energy east. only in Canada. you can't make this stuff up.

[jazz]

And the toronto voter will lap that up too.

Trudeau so pretty and he help people too.
