Another Antivaxer Convoy In Saskatchewan

[AlbertaFarmer5]

So where are you getting your "news" now. Info wars, Rebel, ....?

Its no wonder you come up with some pretty far out in right field ideas.

Let's do an experiment.

Watch/read/listen to your usual news sources today.
Then come back tomorrow and tell me at least one item of information you learned which is pertinent to your life or business. Something which caused you to change your plans, affected your marketing, caused your to cancel your travel plans etc.
And how much of it is completely irrelevant to your life, but caused you no end of anxiety and negative emotions about things you have no control over, and even though they will never affect you in the slightest?

That is to say, what benefit did you derive from absorbing all of the news of the day?

Add this to the list of irrelevant news items I never would have heard of if not for Chuck posting them on Agriville. The long list includes such gem as Qanon, Proud boys, Diagalon, etc.

All of which have zero relevance to my life, zero relevance to agriculture, zero relevance to rural issues, or commodity marketing before that.

Qanon a total psyop. "Operation Trust" was a Bolshevik counterintelligence operation run from 1921 to 1926 aimed at neutralizing opposition by creating the false impression that a powerful group of military leaders had organised to stop the communists' takeover. Q's "Trust the Plan" "white hats are in control" a total farce designed to keep resistance at bay.
Chucky probably knows that, thats why he plants the seed.

Huh? So you don't want to know what is going on in your community, province, country and around the world in realm of government and economics and social issues to name a few.

No wonder you have such self centred, self serving views!

But for a guy who says he doesn't want to know anything about what is going on, you sure have a lot of strong opinions and flaky notions about things you don't want to know anything about! LOL

So, what useful information did you derive from your new sources yesterday?


When something piques my interest, I will check all sources to learn all that I can. But I don't need a steady drip feed of negative news about the entire world going 24/7. If I did, I would probably be as paranoid about covid, climate change, right wing conspiracy groups, Donald Trump and Pierre Pollievre as you are.

Great example today. Rained out, so I went to pick up parts. 5 hour round trip. I took my ~85 year old neighbor along for the ride, as we often do, he really appreciates the change of scenery and company, I do too.

Along the way, I learned about every accident and death and murder in Alberta in recent times. I also learned about all the catastrophes around the world.

As far as I can tell, this information did not help him in any way, but it sure didn't help his optimism about the world.
I can't say that knowing any of this has been of any use to me either.

Still waiting to find out what useful information you obtained from MSM?

[chuckChuck]

So you don't read market reports when you are marketing your products?

What kind of farmer are you? LOL

[shtferbrains]

MSM for up to the minute market reports?

I guess if you were happy waiting 6 months+ for your final payment check that would seem logical.

[chuckChuck]

Market reports are just another form of news and information and A5 says he never listen to or reads the news! He would rather live in the dark! LOL

Stock market news and analysis is well covered in the mainstream media. Ag not so much because it has moved on to other platforms.

Your the greatest Chuck!

Always there to entertain us.

Kind of explains a lot? LOL

I guess if you were happy waiting 6 months+ for your final payment check that would seem logical.

Such accurate up to the minute market reports as the economist cover story about wheat in May of 2022, which literally marked the top of the wheat market. History is littered with examples of MSM market propaganda being an excellent contrarian indicator.

Can you provide an example of MSM news which you used to market your products recently?

[chuckChuck]

The mainstream farm papers in Canada cover market news and analysis all the time!

Are you saying everything they publish is wrong? LOL

marketing information from the mainstream farm papers?
The marketing adage, what everybody knows isn't worth knowing comes to mind.
And what everybody knew a week ago, and just came out in the newspaper which arrived at our rural address a week later, is about as tradable as a stock tip from the shoeshine boy.

What marketing decisions have you recently taken based on information you gleaned from a farm paper, and how did that action turn out?

You were upset at Moe for not providing an example of Trans youth, are you holding him to a higher standard than yourself?

[chuckChuck]

So what do you know that everybody else doesn't know?

That we are short of CO2 we need more in the atmosphere not less? LOL

There are multiple sources of credible information, analysis and news. And anybody with a brain knows you should rely multiple sources before you form an opinion or make a decision.

Provincial crop reports from producers are published in mainstream farm newspapers every week. They give a general report on soil moisture, crop conditions, seeding and harvest progress, yields and quality. Do they have no value? LOL
