Snap Election?

Nobody watches or listens to the CBC anyway. You might see a little bit of them on You-tube once in a while.

I think liberals watch and listen to anything CBC produces, its a form of early stage foreplay to them.

Cant stand Trudeau either. And he did mortgage the farm.
But Harper sold off or gave away everything not nailed down. All the equpment and a lot of the tools.
To pay for his party .plus leaveing à huge debt.
Gave up our sovereignty thru trade deals. All With out à pandemic.
I just fear if PP gets in , whats left to gift away to the corporations Medicare ? The post office ? Prisons ?
Banana republic .here we come

Turd makes it here everyday is WORSE.

Pierre will KILL the blood sucking CBC and CAN 1000's of useless unnecessary civil servants, gov patronage appointments, liberal billionaires money laundering.

How can you fear that?

Society DIVIDED on every frigging topic....what a shame.

Americans vote 50-50, no agreement on good or evil.

That's because you always vote conservative... but the liberals could actually end up with a majority. ...

Conservatives are placing their bet on petee. ...


Trudeau is paying people to sit on their ass. ...

Think ....

One thing is for sure....farmers won't receive help from either liberals or conservatives

Don't think that is a fair statement, both the Libs and Cons have supported farmers more than any other industry except maybe G&O.
What more is it farmers want or need? Honest question!

Dairy is on a steady drip of government cash.

Farmers and ranchers have not been supported to the same effort as other countries that we compete with.

Example, CPPIB is invested in Ukraine's grain handling that is getting blown up. so now the Liberals are sending billions over there for the war effort , then more to rebuild and your pension plan is going to take some financial hits as well.

Meanwhile , drought that is out of our control will force farmers off the land so that Scott Moe can hang out in corporate farm board rooms and lobby for better government deals for the "future of farming".

Young guys that want to buy a start into this business can not even think about it. To earn the down payment takes so long , it better to put the money away and enjoy life. Starting at 40 with a downpayment isn't a recipe for success in this industry.

wow, just wow. The koolaid is flowing freely now. Or maybe harder stuff.

The feds just subsidized 2 EV plants to the tune of $1M per worker. Please tell me the equivalent for this business.

$0 investment in canola crush, road and rail transport, port efficiency and a carbon tax on everything to boot.

What is the solution? I agree with where you’re going on this but wonder where we go without it being corporate welfare or something which mirrors the inevitable slide to socialism and too much government involvement in industry. We got rid of the cwb and that was a fight.

Using dairy as an example is not wise imo. That industry is heavily regulated and the barriers to enter it are even larger.

The feds can help ag and many other industries by concentrating funds on adjacent infrastructure. Maybe toss AgStab and roll those funds into crop insurance would be a better deal too.

But any direct supports would come with such a stick that you wouldnt want it. So the feds create some market climate disaster program, they will just back load it with a bunch of hoops to jump through.

No thank you.
