That’s quite the graph.

Probably can’t conclude anything, but it would seem a third of CPC voters have buyer’s remorse today. If he had tried to stay in the spotlight his numbers would probably be worse.

I graduated from university in the 80's. Not a great job market. I remember it well.

I think if you fully study the Bible you will end up in a place like Bart Ehrman.

"Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump..."

Beautiful

Why does this matter to anyone? Whether total factor productivity in ag production continues to climb should be the primary concern. Trade deficits/surpluses are irrelevant.

The US disagrees with the panel. They signed a deal, but the ~250 tariff is hard to ignore. It will be an ongoing irritant. It's disingenuous to claim that the US isn't exporting up to their tariff free limit, so why does it matter.

USMCA trade panel rejects US complaint about access to Canada dairy market A trade dispute settlement panel set up under a major North American free trade agreement has rejected a U.S. complaint that Canada is improperly limiting access to its dairy market, an official report showed on Friday.

It's a disputed issue. US claims Canada is unfairly restricting US dairy exports within the zero-rated negotiated agreement. They would export much more if border was open. www.reuters.com/markets/usmc...

The promise from the Freeland to double salaries (and cut labour productivity in half) to meet the 2% demand more quickly was an interesting choice. Carney seems to understand the challenge of getting to 2%.

“Make that make sense “….pause…powerful words and delivery.

Do you think there is value in having a continual living crop/cover crop if goal is to maximize carbon capture?

So you think Vladdy would have signed 8 years/ 100 million after 2021...

As a farmer, contrary to headline, it’s hard to find a lesson learned from that study.

Seems like a good definition. It uses a similar approach as farm food safety certifications where constant improvement is the expectation while there is no definition of a food safe operation.

I guess the herd immunity bros are going to find out.

Sounds good and also practical. I miss matoke with “sauce” from Uganda. Usually sauce was bean or “g-nut” based.

Sounds like Peru. I’m assuming they weren’t native to the area and brought by Europeans?

Huh. Makes sense.

Potatoes in Uganda are called “Irish”

I recently dumped my Tesla shares. I didn’t want to be a partner with Musk anymore. If I had a margin account I would short sell some to send a message.

Today, those vacuous slogan-mongering politicians would dismiss them as globalist elites. In fact, they were elites, well connected through commerce and elite education. This is what is lost when politics is intentionally dumbed down to slogans.

It’s a remarkable exchange. Serious dialogue seemingly without being scripted. I voted for Turner as well thinking at the time it would be better to pursue multilateral free trade rather than a bilateral deal with the US. I still thinking the same.

I don't know if it will affect them currently. I think they have partnered in the past. I believe MCC US has resisted USAID funds because historically they were sourced from US grains being monetized in foreign markets to the detriment of local producers.

My understanding is that MCC does not accept USAID funding. They will be impacted indirectly with increased needs of some of there international partners who use USAID funds.

I think he feels he got beat on the CUSMA negotiation in 2018. He sees the charts showing Canadian trade surplus growing since the agreement signed. It's about settling scores this time around, not just with Canada.

A few ideas:

- over next four years, negotiate free trade in food (including non tariff barriers) with rest of World, other than US.

- double down on food production research in preparation to satisfy new World markets as US influence regresses (RFK may move US Ag backwards)

A few ideas:

-in short term, levy counter tariffs strategically (goods with readily available alternatives) which harm Trump base.

- eliminate/harmonize all restrictions on interprovincial movement of provincially inspected meat, SM quota, transportation of food, professional designations...
