Meanwhile in the states

So you did miss out on the high prices.

I thought that in the free market you guys would have locked in and sold grain at some decent prices. But because you didn't, you want taxpayers to give you a blanket handout regardless of whether you need it or not?

Sharpen your pencils and don't expect no strings attached blanket subsidies without a good reason.

I don’t want any handouts
Just a level playing field with competitors

Trying hard not to get baited here.
No one asking for nsa blanket payments.
Using the past system as lure to bring out a rain of fire response to lower the conversation rather clever I suppose.
Unless you truly believe what you said. In which case there is no point in discussion with the biggest Luddite on here. If you like S&M there are better sites.

Irrigation farmers are not sharpening their pencils...they are still getting the capital infrastructure for free and 40 bucks an acre for 5 years...for being guaranteed a crop..

Then just for good measure go watch Meeting 22 of the TRAN committee about the Canada Infrastructure Bank...listen to Andrew Scheer's questions and the answers he receives from the CIB
