If sarcasm bothers you, then we probably won’t get along. Busy juggling family, friends and the farm. When it comes to farming, it’s all about the dirt.

Are they thinking it’s cheaper to run a fossil fuel burner than a BEB? Or is it strictly from an initial purchase cost standpoint?

I would assume they were getting approval to spray glyphosate on areas that were previously burned. Main purpose is to kill off competing plant species before replanting trees.

No, it’s basically potassium salt and dawn dish soap (surfactant).

Blows my mind that a set of John Deere straw chopper blades and hardware (bolts, bushings, nuts) costs $5500. There wouldn’t be more than 30lbs of steel in that pile. Before COVID that would have been $1400.

Timing of the canola tariff is mainly because of harvest just starting in western Canada. It maximizes the oh crap factor for the futures market.

Wish it were that simple. Say western Canada has to switch only a third of the canola acres to a different broadleaf crop. That would mean roughly 7 million increase in acres of either field peas (100% China tariff as well), flax, lentils, chick peas…. Any of those commodities would crash in price.

Yes, that is exactly what every farmer does for the winter.

Canola acres seeded in 2025 are down 2.5% from last year. The price of canola was actually down in 2024, compared to 2023 growing year.

They purchase roughly 2/3 of Canadian exports of canola seed.

Neither was carney this past winter. He was only elected leader of the liberal party at that time. Exact same as pollievre at the moment. Should carney have been censured from public communication?

I’m not a big fan of Pierre, but you can’t just up and censor him because you don’t like his political position. The liberal rhetoric has quite an orange man flavour to it lately. Censor what you don’t want to hear, and everything will be better.

Sheer is presently Leader of opposition in parliament. Pollievre is still leader of the Conservative Party. He’s basically the same as what carney was a few months ago. Leader of a party, but no seat in the House of Commons.

It’s still censorship. The elected leader of the conservatives should still be given a platform of communication. This is starting to sound like tactics of the orange man from the south.

Wasn’t carney an unelected leader at one point this winter? Guess they should have censured him till the election. It’s like listening to the scary orange guy on here lately. Everyone one to censor who gets to speak. One set of rules for liberals, another set for conservatives.

Censorship at its finest. I believe carney wasn’t an elected official till May as well. Guess they should have censored his existence till then.

Question, was this always a cabinet position? Or is it new. Because it doesn’t give me that Canada strong and united vibe.

Jody should have still been in the present day caucus, and ideally as one of the participants in the hunt for the new liberal leader.
To be honest, she would have been the ideal candidate for the job. Intelligent, articulate, indigenous roots, female. Instead of another boring Caucasian male 🤷‍♂️

The first quarter of 2019 is when the wheels started falling off the Trudeau train. It all started with the snc lavelin debacle, and the ensuing dismissal of Jody Wilson raybould, and pushed Jane philpott out as well. The following year another female mp, chavannese, was pushed out by Justin

Busy placing seeds in the ground. Nothing like the smell of fresh turned soil.

😬 Justin’s last two terms were abysmal. Immigration policy that had Canada set for a train wreck. Trudeau had good intentions at the start of his tenure, but him and the liberal team left Canada vulnerable to 🇺🇸 pressure. Justin should have left after 2019.

Is carney going in dry? At least Justin got us lubed up with his first term.
I wasn’t a big fan of Pierre. Hoping the conservatives get smart and dump him to the side. Just hope carney isn’t as big of a wreck on the world stage as Trudeau was. Don’t think our export markets can take another one.

That one was actually relevant for the first decade. The decade after that, is all Moe. The problem with Saskatchewan is that we haven’t had an actual opposition part of any significance. Sask party has just floated the last three terms.

Kind of like Trudeau using Harper as the scapegoat for a decade.

Just scrolled down carney page. Out of the first 5 that talk about building Canada, and have an image. 3 of those were of the older demographic. It’s just an observation.

Just find it odd. Wouldn’t you choose a demographic that will be around when most of these projects are finally completed?

Why are most of carney photo ops that talk about our exciting future, taken with couples in there late 60’s and 70’s?

We were idiots for the past decade. We set ourselves up to be vulnerable on the world stage. We were too busy chasing the utopian ideological dream. Instead of building a foundation of economic strength that would in turn allow us to achieve that utopia.
