@BrianABCS Congratulations Brian. This is a special time. So enjoy and spoil her. Cheers from London

I have just confirmed the earlier reports from Chiba today that our eldest daughter has delivered a precious baby girl into the world.

We already know Canadians pay more in carbon taxes than they get back. Now, farmers are confirming many family farms can't access the CCR for small businesses. False promises. False hope. More failed Liberal policies. Family farms want a carbon tax election now!

🚨LIVE NOW: Canadian agri-food producers are raising the alarm on Bill C-282, warning it risks Canada’s ability to negotiate free trade agreements. To spotlight these harms, we’ve launched KeepCanadaTrading.ca — urging Canadians to send letters to Senators to reject this bill.

@redwoodacres 😄

@bisdvd I’ll believe you but you’re buying drinks if you’re wrong 😂.

Although 25K bu isn’t a big bin to many, it’s big for us. Unfortunately the crop is not going to fill our bins this year. Is there any increased risk to the structure of a big bin vs smaller (say 4K bu) if left empty through the winter? Should I try put something in it?

📢 Tune in tonight on @GlobalNews National to watch Executive Director @KylePLarkin discuss the impacts of the potential dual CN-CPKC rail work stoppage on grain farmers.

Great to be on @CBCTheNational last evening with @JakeLeguee to discuss how the capital gains tax increase moves the goal posts for young farmers by making it costlier for them to take over the family farm. #cdnpoli
