Take the time to sign the petition on change.org...take the time to realize how much your farm is losing while helping the environment

Can you post the link Dave?

So does this mean you are in favour of providing incentives and payments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

The way the feds are going, the province won’t get any credits/offsets for clean coal. That was built and implemented before carbon tax liberal plan, no retroactive.

Canadas forests - zero credit
canadas lakes - zero credit
Canadas no til operation - zero credit
Canadas farmland sequestration - no credit
Canadas carbon capture - no credit
Canadas natural gas - no credit

Quebec hydro built off equalization - bingo we have a winner

Dont forget the cement industry in Quebec being exempted....that's the biggest payment of all...an exemption is a subsidy....

And that exemption requires others to offset it.

native grasslands may be getting something but there are conservation agencies like NCC and DU involved...someone is getting phucked.

Why avoid answering the question? If you want to be paid for capturing carbon there must be a reason?

It is because no one gives a s h i t about what you have to say, or cut/paste, or keep stirring the pot.

Yup there is a reason ...because I am paying for my and others emissions...and more than likely the farm sequesters more than I emit.

And the fact that my farm is being used to offset other industries without compensation.

[chuckChuck]

So that must mean you are in favour of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

There would be no reason to pay farmers for carbon credits otherwise.

I think you realize that farmers have already reduced their emissions with the current farming practices...

The only thing is farmers are not being paid to sequester which is an ongoing exercise..

Every other industry that has done nothing to reduce their emissions will be given a government grant to do so and then be given credits after..

Farmers have done most of the reductions on their own dime.

This includes the investments in machinery and genetics and crop rotations.

Why are they going to pay carbon credits to farmers in the U.S.A.? There is no carbon tax in the U.S.A.!!
