Meanwhile in Canada

Had to fact check the Carney quote.
Depressing.
Carney is so much more than JT. The latter really only qualified to play in the dirt.
Which means MC's WEF, Davos, carbon scam agenda will be that much more sophisticated.

Unfortunately very true and it will severely limit wealth creation in Western Canada .
Be prepared for a carbon passport, social credit scores and a very significant inheritance tax on farmland . Carney a huge supporter of this and will follow the European agenda much like Starmer in the UK , as well as France and the Netherlands.
This has been all spelled out in Agenda 2030 for well over a decade .

In spite of all that, I am now cheering for Carney to win, and for the liberals to hold on to power as long as possible. Burn it to the ground.

If it conservatives were to win a majority, that will deflate the rapidly growing separation movement. But the conservatives will be impotent to do anything to improve the economic prospects of the country, and will still be beholden to the same Eastern interests.

We have a window with an anti-business liberal government and a pro-business trump government where it will be possible to rally Western economic interests behind statehood.

If we don't take advantage of this opportunity, by the time we realize that the conservatives cannot save this hopeless cause, we will be in a much weaker position to negotiate the next time this inevitably comes up. And the US May no longer have an administration friendly to accepting our economic basket case.

93 out of 105 senators are liberal appointees. 7 out of 9 supreme court justices are liberal appointees. Conservatives will never get anything done.

51st might be the only real option.

Number ONE is the Dairy monopoly!

As in the once upon a time "Saving the Ostrich" thread, the willingness to sacrifice a segment of SM shines bright on Agriville again. Not so, right AB5.

Bargin away other Canadian family farms based on ideologies and the no better time to become the 51st state mentality.

Trump only rewards loyalists, he'd pickup on those ghosts in closets of Agrivillers.

Forage, do you see any scenario under which supply management will be permitted to survive?
We forsake the US and try to join the EU or britain instead, do you think supply management won't be the first thing on the chopping block?

Not everything is about what we want to happen. Most things are about reality.

"other Canadian family farms"

That be us, exposed to all other countries protectionism. Just lets all be equal, ZERO tariffs/subsidies...called FREE trade. Start with our OWN country.

[blackpowder]

Okay so instead of an all or none.
How about at least modernizing the dairy system. It's no longer 1970.
Lots of room for that.
Sylvain Charlebois had an interesting article on just that.
Or is interprovincial trade on dairy as sacrosanct as it once was on wheat?
Sounds like it to me.

Defending the 60 cow herd only subsidizes Quebec, again.
It's the stubborn infighting that hurts us all. All or none eventually becomes exactly that.

Parts of this article have some good info on new feedlots and tariff risk to the beef buisness.
Good Saturday morning read.

I'm afraid beef is a high risk for tariff.
High profile political lobby in the US that everyone that was around during BSE saw the effects of.
