Once again for those on here saying the cuts to Ag research are a good thing because it was “wasteful” Even if our industry received the tiniest of benefit from the research these AAFC facilities did, it’s a lot better investment than the millions wasted elsewhere!

Over 75% tariff slapped on canola seed today by China Potential 2.3billion dollar hit to Canadian farmers bottom line! Radio silence so far from the feds Thanks for your concern and immediate response today @MarkJCarney …🙄 #CdnPoli

I am deeply frustrated with the Canadian government’s reckless trade policies, which are putting our farmers in jeopardy. The threat sparked by tensions over supply management and the digital services tax, is a direct blow to Western Canadian grain and oilseed producers. These policies, driven by Ottawa’s focus on protecting Eastern Canadian interests, risk destabilizing the $17 billion in annual grain exports to the U.S., our largest trading partner for these crops. These trade disruptions threaten to drive down farmgate prices and erode the thin margins our farmers already face. This is not just a policy misstep; it’s a betrayal of Western Canadian agriculture, pitting one region against another. The federal government’s refusal to prioritize stable trade with the U.S. and its insistence on policies like the digital services tax and rigid supply management systems show a blatant disregard for the livelihoods of Western Canadian farmers. The government must act swiftly to de-escalate trade tensions. Western Canadian farmers, deserve better than being collateral damage in Ottawa’s political games.

🇨🇦’s canola industry-worth over $40b to the economy-is being pounded by 100% tariffs from China who retaliated on our canola when 🇨🇦 tariffed Chinese EVs. 🇨🇦’s obsession w/ an EV industry that does not seem to be as interested in 🇨🇦 comes with a huge cost to western agricultural

You will always be there to defend farmers?! Offering up more and more debt to farmers? You’ve had nearly 9 years to fix the systemic problems that plague our export-dependant industry/nation. You never supported farmers with bill c-234 even though you know that a carbon tax on food perversely harms farmers. You supported bill c-282 that’s pits sectors of the industry against eachother and harms the vast vast majority. You stood silent during the capital gains tax hike that unjustly and disproportionately hurt farmers and their ability to retire and pass their operations onto future generations. You disappeared over and over and over again when our rail systems and port systems were held hostage by unions. Costing farmers unknown billions and harming our reputation as a reliable trading partner. You’ve overseen the bloat at AAFC. Instead of standing up for farmers you enabled the system to be totally captured by ideology and have let it stray far far away from priorities that actually help Canadian agriculture. The amount of tariffs and non tariff trade barriers put on farmers over the last decade are an indictment. All we get is that you’re disappointed. Thanks for feeling disappointed, that doesn’t help farmers pay the bills.

The Liberal establishment just pulled off the greatest hijack in history: ONE man will appoint 100 out of 105 senators. NONE of them elected by the people. Here's what Trudeau is hoping you don't notice:

@Kotyjo What's a membership cost?

Good morning, little more snow last night, warming up but thank god for natural gas to heat our homes, shops, etc. Mark Carney is a wolf in sheeps clothing. I did as the liberals said, sign up for a membership and vote for them. I'm picking the guy who can't speak French or English for the win. Never vote liberal/ NDP.

Some thoughts on Chrystia Freeland’s campaign launch

@Kotyjo It was a good time and nice to see everyone. Hopefully see you before 5 or 10 years goes by!

Good morning, little tired but what a great couple of days in Saskatoon. So nice to see everyone. Had a wonderful time reminiscing about all the stuff we did a long time ago, but also great to hear what all of us have done since. Hope to see all of you at the next one. Class of 85

@DarylFransoo It is good you have a chat with the minister, however this has been a problem forever being reliable. Need accountability from rail lines to more capacity at coast? Along with strikes,etc. Keep pushing

The fact that our international customers are calling us unreliable is more than concerning. Year after year after year we are facing a major work stoppage that paralyzes a major part of our export supply chain. We desperately need a solution.

@DarylFransoo He was very good at what he did and he will be missed. Loved our chats. RIP Mr. Henry

We lost one of the good ones. Les Henry’s dedications and immense contributions to agriculture will live on for ever. RIP Les. saskatoonfuneralhome.com/tribute/detail…

Freeland is in hot water

All those trips going camping with our kids Making memories and spending time with our families in the outdoors Little did we know… #WhoHurtYouMark

When I started farming I remember the pressure The financial pressure The pressure to get the work done quickly The pressure to keep up with the neighbours The pressure not to screw up I realize now I put that on myself Just get out there and enjoy today! #ThoughtsFromaFarmer

Good morning. Both drills are seeding canola now because seeding real early pays. Hey Trudeau I paid my Fucking Carbon tax I thought you promised better weather. Only a stupid liberal voter believes paying a tax can change the weather. #NeverVoteLiberalNDP

Saskatchewan is a funny place. Just when you think it’s so dry and can’t ever rain again, surprise!! Have seen this same cycle many times. It’s not climate change; it’s normal in these parts #plant24onhold.

I swear the vegetation gets lusher with every Spring as CO2 is replenished in our atmosphere, oceans, and lakes. Remember, every molecule of CO2 we emit came from the atmosphere and the oceans in the first place. This is all you need to know to be certain the "Climate Crisis" is the biggest hoax ever foisted upon humankind.

@Kotyjo Your right John, today is a great farming day after a great send off yesterday. Till we see him on a back trail up there 🙏

Good morning it is a great day to Spray. Nice send-off yesterday till we see you again out crop checking that awesome crop in heaven.

So, electric cars will end the use of fossil fuels in vehicles? 60% of all electricity produced in the USA is from burning coal and natural gas. The efficiency of fossil fuels is about 35%. Do the math - see below. eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq… stillwaterassociates.com/are-evs-more-f…
