In November 2025, Dairy Farmers of Ontario dumped 4.9% of milk, according to Milk Producer magazine. That’s roughly 10.2 million litres of milk — about $18M in retail value for the month. The butterfat embedded in that milk alone was worth roughly $10M at retail. 👀

At Queen’s Park today, we’ll be reminding MPPs that despite escalating U.S. trade tariffs and global market uncertainty, Ontario’s greenhouse sector remains a bright spot; continuing to invest, expand, and create jobs. #economicprosperity

@cselley Farmers of course. Wildly underrepresented. Thousands of acres of land affected.

I’m not aware of any indigenous communities along the planned route (in Ontario anyway). And what other “underrepresented groups” would need consulting on an engineering project?

Hey buddy, Ontario’s roads are busy, and motorists have to share those roads with slow moving vehicles and farm equipment. This can quickly lead to frustration and impatience – which is often when accidents happen. Road safety is impertent: Read more here: ofa.on.ca/newsroom/patie…

@hardeepgrewal_ I’m sick reading this…and I’m even sicker reading some of the comments that follow. I’m sorry this happened to you and your family Hardeep. …and yes, Muskoka has a beautiful downtown in Huntsville.

It is not the first time this has happened, but today I feel compelled to speak out about how exhausting and painful it is. Today in downtown Muskoka, while sharing ice cream with my family, two strangers decided to share their hate instead. One yelled, “Hey turban head, go home,” before speeding off. Another, walking by, said, “You all should die.” In that moment, I was reminded that the fight against hate is far from over. But our strength is louder. Ontario is our home. It belongs to all of us. To my Sikh brothers and sisters, stay vigilant, stay proud, and stay strong. Hate never wins. Good will always triumph.

ICE officers stopped by our farm yesterday. “We need to inspect your property for illegal aliens,” one of them said. I replied, “Alright, but whatever you do, don’t go into that field over there.” The officer in charge exploded. “Mister, I have the authority of the federal government behind me!” he barked, reaching into his back pocket. He yanked out a badge and shoved it in my face. “See this fucking badge? This badge means I can go wherever I want on ANY land. No questions asked, no answers given. Am I clear? Do you understand?” I nodded politely and said, “Be my guest.” Then I went back to my chores. About ten minutes later, I heard screaming. I looked up and saw six ICE agents running for their lives, being chased by my big, mean, old bull. And with every step, that bull was closing in. Fast. It looked like they were about to get gored for sure. So I dropped my tools, ran over to the fence, and shouted at the top of my lungs: “YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR FUCKING BADGE!”

@farmtario Or, or…. And hear me out here…when most of the research is complete, and often when it begins, it’s irrelevant to the industry it serves. 🥴

So many empty seats. This was high-level soccer. Much better product than what TFC puts on that field. Soccer Canada should be ashamed.
