Irrigation for friends instead of a good ag program!!!

[bucket]

I will say this.....Trudeau and gang couldn't hide the "WE" paper bags....

It looks like the Saskparty will get away with paper bagging a few million for each of themselves through the irrigation announcement....

Bill Boyd did the feeler for this by getting his farm and his irrigation project paid off off through his "unknown " landlord....to the tune of millions and now the sask party found a way to funnel money....

Boyd never even went to court over his corruption and I would bet if he ran again he would get elected...

Thats what we are to call good business acumen...

And it looks like APAS is getting in on the deal as well by the president blessing the project....

If the majority of people only knew how stupid it is to fund this supposedly multi billion potential business ...they would realize they will be paying for it for a very long time...and every business that comes calling will be asking for government money as well...

Meanwhile there is an article in the WP ...Death by a 1000 cuts ....that the average farmer will be run out of business due to more downloading of costs ...while other countries help all farmers....


All farmers in Saskatchewan are expected to fund a billion dollar project for 300 ....

And make no mistake this 4 billion dollar irrigation project will be funded by everyone but the people using it....

Proof....The three main irrigation districts were given their infrastructure for free and the taxpayer is still funding them 40 dollars an acre ....for 5 years....and beyond....that is 200 dollars an acre those irrigators don't have to pay...

2.8 million for the Outlook canals in the last WSA announcement works out to 60 bucks an acre they don't have to pay this year...even though it is now their infrastructure and they are receiving an annual benefit...

Big wheel if you have information share it. What liberals want to give us better farm programs. Are you talking Justin and his crew. Where did you read that.

I will bet you dollars to donuts that if Justin ever did that, it would come with huge caveats like climate change or sustainable farming or something stupid like that linked in.

Dont be too eager to jump at something until you know the details.

SAsk AG minister David Marit said the BRM programs are in place to handle issues and wasn't asking for AgriRecovery because the Saskatchewan government would have to pick up some of the costs....


Then BAM ...they have 4 billion for an irrigation project....

I also have a letter from Marit in February 2020 stating this......"""""There is no commitment to partner on the construction of new irrigation expansion project at this time."""""

Only a few short months ago....and any expansion was to be to existing irrigation...

What a phucking liar.

.

Is the $4b cost shared with the Feds?

I am Leary about any money going into ag stability or ag recovery because it becomes an accounting shell game that is not bankable when you need it.

It needs to go into crop insurance.

Why not follow goodales idea and divert more water out of dief to the chain lakes with another couple generating stations. A lot more land could be irrigated and more development would pop up in that corridor. Numb nuts had one good idea in 25 yrs.

But we should just tell Justin whatever he wants to hear to get some funding. Muh climate change, progressive, blah blah. Guess we have to become the maritimes to get noticed. Vote liberal and get to the trough. Everyone else is.
