Farmers’ protests surge in 65 countries, yet global food prices are at historic highs. If farmers aren't benefiting from high food prices, who is? grain.org/e/7120

@AAFC_Canada @impact_innovEN It's an honour to serve with such strong jurors!

📢Together with @impact_innovEN, we are presenting the Agricultural #MethaneReduction Challenge Jury!

@momtomoose2018 @MIHomeYGK Totally stopped. I’m guessing it’s because of the strike action on the base?

@EmmaMci Thank you for your work on this, Emma, on behalf of Canada's farmers who need access to the good farmland we have remaining. 💪

BREAKING: "It was a mistake to open the Greenbelt," says Premier Doug Ford.

@WayneMcFadyen @fatimabsyed I found this informative. I hope you do, too. environmentaldefence.ca/the-big-sprawl…

@fatimabsyed Where is the land, specifically, that should be used for development instead?

Ontario's housing crisis is NOT due to a shortage of land.

"Our country is on fire and now flooding coast to coast, we cannot afford to lose any more farms. We can address the housing crisis effectively without losing our essential farmland." - Jenn Pfenning, NFU President #Ontag #Greenbelt thestar.com/opinion/contri…

Canada just made a huge decision that will impact the food you eat. Many new #geneedited foods will no longer be regulated by @GovCanHealth or @InspectionCan & biotech corporations will not have to alert the gov, #farmers, or consumers what they are releasing into the market. Safety will be left up to the corporations making the product. The threat to #organic farming, certification, and consumer transparency continues to be a growing concern.

@RachelsNews @GovCanHealth @InspectionCan Thank you for this clear summary of the impacts of the Federal decision to hand oversight of gene-editing over to corporations without requirements for labeling or disclosure. It may be devestating to the organic sector.

@Anne__GE @carnetsol Oui, vous avez raison. J'aime égoïstement trop la musique pour vouloir l'enterrer sous tant de violence évidente, bien que l'inceste transactionnel soit déjà violent. (pardonnez mon mauvais français)

Un peu mal à l'aise par les réactions que je lis autour de l'avertissement de l'Opéra de Paris avant Salomé : « américanisation / puritanisation de la société », « bientôt on ne pourra plus rien jouer », « ah ah ils ont cru que le sexe pouvait nous choquer »…

@carnetsol And I mourned the opportunity to enjoy the musicality of the Dance of the Seven Veils with the “initially-quasi-consentual?” gang rape of Salome happening throughout its performance. I had to come home to listen to it again.

@carnetsol Agreeing with this entire thread. (Pardon the English.) The directors seemed to think the audience wouldn’t be able to understand nuance, so they hit us over the head with repetitive rape and slaughter. We could have had great conversations about a more nuanced interpretation.

#salome #paris Orchestra and singing are brilliant. 100 min of gang rape are not. Staging and costumes bludgeoned the audience with a sledgehammer. We are smarter than they think.

@fatimabsyed @backbenchcast @JaskaranSandhu_ @Rileyyesnomaybe @drewfoundland Just listened to your final episode and got teary. I so thoroughly love the way you think and engage with topics and your panel. I don’t think you can be replaced!
