India & Canada.

No China or India. No wonder pea prices are in the toilet. Someone should flush the “turd” down.

Thirteen yrs ago peas were $9 bu, today basically the same with higher inputs.

Sad, sad, sad.

Certainly, it is easy to blame the Liberal/NDP coalition for not even having a trade file.
And, clearly, by the letter from our province, they had not included the Province in the discussion.

Has there been a letter from our Agricultural Association to the PMO and the Minister of Agriculture, and Trade on behalf of Agricultural trade expressing the need to be represented in trade that affects our industry? Or we farmers & ag associations focused on production, yield, AI, and iron these days.

I have always been concerned about the political side of farming. This is a perfect example of having no one at the table. I doubt that is a good sign.

Who do we blame for that?

One theory.
Our forefathers and our geography.
Generations of feeding the cow and believing we were sharing the milk.
Ad today's general apathy for involvement.

I agree. After many years of lobbying for most notably:
Short-term sales insurance versus the CGC bond. Note: Eastern Canada has.
Triple E Senate, goodness knows we need an effective bicameral Federal process.
Sales Reporting like USA has.
Carbon Credits
Beef
Freedom of Speech

Claim to fame is a minor role in the Wheat Board, and while on SPG getting protein for pea varieties listed in the Saskatchewan Variety guide, (Yes I have asked for FABAs too but not sure which representative will see this through), so I understand that apathy may be the smarter option.

Cork on the ocean is easier for sure. Some of us can say we tried.

I am more concerned about his latest plan to "control inflation"

Trudeau says the heads of large grocery stores need to come up with a plan to stabilize food prices:

"Let me be very clear: If their plan doesn't provide real relief ... then we will take further action and we are not ruling anything out, including tax measures."


I doubt this attempt at price controls ends at grocers. How long before primary producers are accused of excess profits contributing to inflation, and punished accordingly?

Thank you for your contributions.

These complete morons can’t even look into the mirror and realize they were the creation of this problem. AND they continue on this tangent that Canadians are suppose to shoulder the blame for supposed climate change. People can’t possibly be this stupid yet they continue to impress in that department. When will common sense and rational thot be the focus of our leaders.

Trudeau putting all the blame on grocers. It’s their fault. What kinda putz? I hope the grocers play whack-a-mole with him.

[Braveheart]

Lets be honest here. Trudeau is a full on retard at every level, but India is no great trading partner.

The country is dirt poor and the govt stops buy Canadian product as soon as the price goes up 2c a pound.

India traders balk on contracts like its a day at the beach.

Not sure what dirt poor is. India sent a craft to the dark side of the moon.

The population of a India has really declined. A lot of their citizens have emigrated to McDonalds, Tim Hortons, and all the rest

You mean the Citiots as farmers call them? I'd say they there is a lot of moles when it comes to the blame game and who is involved.
