Another Antivaxer Convoy In Saskatchewan

[foragefarmer]

How about if I, and all the other farmers, and all of the energy companies send back the net of all the subsidies they have received minus all of the taxes they have paid

Would you agree to that?

How about all the farmers, other business sectors, and Canadians who pay income tax and don't receive subsidies and contribute to the Canadian economy immensely.

The point here is don't come on Agriville continually bitching and pointing fingers at every other Canadian or Canadian enterprise regarding wealth redistribution when your farm is fully vested in it.

Your posts definitely put you on that side of fence.

Would you sell your grain to Canadians for 10 bucks when the world price is 25?? Oil supply and demand is a global one just like food.Global companies involved also.

We did that under the CWB , never again

So how do you justify Conservative support for supply managed dairy and poultry?

Even Crypto supports state intervention and marketing boards that set the price for all supply managed products guaranteeing farmers the cost of production plus very good profits.

Net farm income went up 15% in 2013 , and then 10% in each of the next 3 years in Sk
Can you guess what happened in 2012?

This has been hashed over about 1000 times
You can control production of dairy and poultry so it works.
You cant effectively control grain production, so supply management is a waste of time .

Yes they control it so much so that the pricks are charging us $7 for a pound of butter that was $4.50 a year and a half ago

Yeah grain production was supply managed at one time. Marketing arm wasn’t too good though.

And if you ever had any doubt about why the marketing arm was dismal, look no further than the former CWB poster above who is justifying spending small fortune on solar panels because it costs about the same as a new truck in less than an RV.

From the guy who says we are going to run out of CO2? LOL

I guess you are too busy collecting your farm subsidies and complaining about all the other subsidies to estimate how much a 25 year old truck is worth? At 20,000 km per year it will have 500,000 km on it so the answer is not much.

I have never actually had a truck or camper that produces its own energy and pays for itself.

According to you in the 25 years the price of electricity will be unaffordable.

So that will make my solar system look like even a better deal because it will be many times cheaper than the "unaffordable" price.

Do you have that factored into your calculations?

Yes, because the very factor that will cause electricity to be unaffordable is the adoption of unsustainable levels of renewables.
Under that scenario, electricity generated while the sun shines will be less than worthless, as everyone and their dog will also be producing excess electricity at the exact same time, hoping to sell it back to a grid with no storage. You will pay the grid to take your production, then when the sun goes down, prices will skyrocket, as all the solar production goes off line, and you will be buying electricity back at extortionate rates. You will in no way be able to take advantage of the artificially created high prices.
As for your truck depreciation analogy. No one is taking out a 25-year mortgage on a truck. I was generously assuming 25-year financing on the solar panels. If you want to compare apples to apples, figure out the annual payments of a five or seven year term on the solar panels and get back to me.
