The big money jobs are at head office.

The head office isn't in Saskatchewan. None of them...

Environmental regulation will do more to demolish farms than the BTO’s

What has been happening in other industries, is the cost of those regulations ( not just environmental, but safety etc.) is so prohibitive that it is only possible to comply if you are big enough to have full time staff just dedicated to satisfying the bureaucracy. Which just makes the big get bigger, and eliminates any mom and pop sized operations.

Exactly the opposite of what Chuck and the NDP types claim they support, but is exactly what their assinine policies result in.

Back in the 90s that attitude was set in motion by our govts. Get big, swallow the weak if you want to keep farming.

Now look where we are.

In Canada who doesnt support Ag, our farms have increased in size by 10x and we have half the farmers. In the US and EU where ag is supported, there are lots of guys still making a nice living off the same acreage their fathers did.

Not true,
In the uk, landowning is supported, not farming.
In this area, more than half the farmers have gone, city investors now employ contractors.
Its empty

Only until people go hungry JWAB. Hard to turn back the clock at that point

"Consumers" demanded more inspections and oversight in packing plants.
BSE required central disposal of byproduct.
Lost majority of small local slauter plans and consolidated all the medium sized locals like Moose Jaw.
Now we have two bidders buying all finnished cattle and basicly dictating price of everything going thru the markets as it is all based on fat price.

Forgive me , I don’t follow

People will care when they go hungry because the can’t afford the basics due to “Big” controlling our lives.

4 Billion people were talked into taking an experimental injection. Do you really think its going to be harder to starve a few hundred million of them out? They will probably vote for it.

700-800 million already starving around the world way before Covid.

So what's your point and which countries are this few hundred million going to be talked into it by voting for it?

Almost an inch so it's a continuation of operation build back better.
