“Public plant breeding programs generate $20 in returns for every $1 invested, but the federal government is cutting its budget for agricultural research.”

@wheatgrowers @marlene4719 Exactly, govt making decisions that affect all workers is getting old!

Trump has boasted numerous times he doesn’t need anything from Canada, so you can’t blame Canada for seeking out staple markets for our exports. Trump demanded that Canada guarantee wheat supplies to the US and PM Carney told him that ship has sailed. This is all on Trump for fucking around and now he’s lost his bargaining power.

@gmjochum @LowBoomLowDrift Yes, same with stressed canola. Or hailed grains.

@LowBoomLowDrift A lot of our stressed oats regrew from the crown after combining, we had beautiful 10” rows. Does that count as a cover crop?

For farmers in western Canada. Do you use cover crops on your farm? Why or why not?

@DTimchishen Careful what you wish for.

That’s it. Hoping for something less droughty in 2026.

@TheBuckYouWill O mention of agriculture products , I wonder why not?

🚨YOU MUST READ THIS🚨 This image is making the rounds and it should piss off EVERY single Canadian that reads it. We are one of, if not the richest nations in the world when it comes to natural resources. - Oil. - Minerals. - Timber. - Uranium. - Water. And just look at the current state of Canada. It’s an absolute fucking disgrace. Our politicians work for us - it's NOT the other way around. WE THE PEOPLE MUST START 'THE GREAT PUSHBACK'. (Please, Please, Please REPOST this today.)

@wheat_dr @SpecialtySeeds @SeCan @SeCanTodd We were very dry here in Portage. 2.5” during growing season. We did see over 110 yields in lower areas with no lodging.

Harvesting irrigated AAC Westking. This may be my best HRSW field ever. Outstanding yield and zero lodging with no PGR. ⁦@SeCan⁩ ⁦@SeCanTodd⁩

As the Canola industry does what it can to navigate the federally imposed hardships, we echo their call and the call of every single Western Canadian farmer, for Ottawa to act! Trash the EV tariffs and signal our desire for free and open trade.

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

🚨 Harvest-season gut punch: China slaps a 75.8% tariff on 🇨🇦 canola mid-harvest. This could cost Prairie farmers $2.35B. Ottawa must stop sacrificing the West in trade disputes. Read our full statement: wheatgrowers.ca/harvest-season… #CdnAg #CanolaCrisis

@wheatgrowers Turn back the ridiculous tariffs on Chinese EVs! Canada is a free trade nation, full stop!

@augeradam @DefazioIvano Gas prices will be prohibitive.

@DefazioIvano How much you want to bet that they will force parts stores to stop selling parts for ICE vehicles so we don't end up like Cuba. Keeping 40 year old cars going forever. You cannot hate this government enough.

Mark Carney wants to force a $20,000 tax on gas cars and ban all gas powered cars in less than a decade.

@cfwpepw @Bratt_world plants need Nitrogen to grow. There’s 2 sources, either N taken from air using modern chemical process using natural gas to produce, or sewage waste. Take your pick.

@Bratt_world Never China. They fertilize that with industrial sewage waste.

5 Chinese garlic for $1.79 Or 3 Canadian garlic for $3.49 ?

@Highly_Cynical @MarcNixon24 Now let’s talk about taxpayers and see what the number is! Lots who don’t.

@MarcNixon24 , Got it!... But the 2T is over a period, not up front, right? Still, the only way for Carney be able to pay for all the plans is to sell all the land and mineral resources to China, using Brookfield as a frontend.

Mark Carney says 🇨🇦 must invest $2 TRILLION by 2050 — that’s $80 BILLION per year — to become “carbon competitive” and reach Net Zero. Thats $300,000 per 🇨🇦 Meanwhile, families can’t afford groceries, gas, or rent Let’s not forget, China would make up the difference overnight

Ok team, I really need help. I need my local candidate to unseat the NDP in Nanaimo. Please help me boost @KronisTamara's platform like we did for Barbara Bal & others. Nanaimo can't afford to go orange again. PLEASE!

@CarymaRules I wonder what we are coming back from?

Liberal leadership candidate Ruby Dhalla hosts fundraiser at swanky Bovine Wine Club with $500 minimum donation to attend. Staff set up a retractable banner stand outside the venue— the struggle is real, these stands are finicky. #cdnpoli #Toronto #ProtestMania

@mattjohnstonca Solutions to what Dr? So you admit that the last 9 years have been an utter disaster???

@StaceyMonette27 And some stories that are against the narrative are not covered.

It’s true. I'm noticing that about 95% the "breaking" headlines & stories in Canada are already old news to me by the time the MSM pumps it out. Most times I already knew all the details many hours or even days prior, just by being right here on X. 😎

@jksellors @JohnBarlowMP Combines and tractors use roughly 600 liters of fuel each daily, depends on model, capacity, etc. Let alone all the semis delivering goods worldwide. Dream on about autonomous electric. The current infrastructure couldn’t service cars, let alone all this. Perhaps H or nuclear NRG

@JohnBarlowMP This is not true most of Canadas food is imported. Trucks bringing that food to Canada fuel up before they come to Canada. Canada has 87% hydro power from Quebec and BC that can be used to heat mushroom beds etc. Farm equipment needs to be converted to autonomous electric.

This is what the Trudeau Liberals don't want you to know about their costly carbon tax. 👇

@Martyupnorth_2 Maybe people from large cities elsewhere will move there.

Danielle has been quoted recently, saying she wants Alberta to grow to 10,000,000 people. I'm going to go out on a limb, and say that half the people coming to Alberta these day, don't share our values. "Forties et liber"
