@Smileyyeg Already is.

Carney will be the last Prime Minister of Canada. He will also be the first Supreme Chancellor.

@AndrewScheer Because its trevor tombe, expect a much larger number in reality.

Credit where credit is due. This is an important investigate piece by the CBC, and a hard pill to swallow. Timely as I’ll be speaking at the UofC in a few short hours on the very topic of the state of democracy in Canada, and grassroots movements. Our own military were conducting clandestine psychological operations against us; the very citizens they swore to protect, and they did so without the knowledge or consent of Canadians. They flew a King Air spy plane over the Freedom Convoy, illegally and unconstitutionally scraping data from cell phones on the ground. Your texts, your emails, and all your photos, your social media all obtained without a warrant. Then they lied to Canadians and told them it was a training mission. Elected governments Public health Judiciary Subsidized media RCMP CSIS Canadian Armed Forces What is the state of democracy in a country in which all of the institutions we were raised to believe were in put in place to protect our rights and give us a voice continually, egregiously, sometimes, illegally, violate our trust without accountability or justice? We’ll discuss this tonight! cbc.ca/news/politics/…

@Lanstrider @therealmrbench In the third link (image), it also describes in the conclusion that the same type of (higher risk) birds are used in all the housing types. It also states that on several metrics that if they used the outdoors more they had better welfare (not including death to predators).

@TheDallasG @therealmrbench I have read the paper you linked in the image from start to finish and did not cherry pick. I now see you had other links I'm reviewing them.

Can someone explain why chicken is: $8 /lb in Canada $2.75 / lb in USA

@Lanstrider @therealmrbench I will only do this with you, if you agree that if free-run chickens are more prone to disease, that you forfeit the "it doesnt say they need more drugs" fixation. And if you actually read the studies, not just look for lines that let you misunderstand them like you have so far

@TheDallasG @therealmrbench Fine, show me in the source YOU CITED that agrees with your point. You read it before linking right?

@Lanstrider @therealmrbench The image link is the 3rd link, read the message its posted in.

@TheDallasG @therealmrbench The only links in my replies are the single paper you linked

@Lanstrider @therealmrbench You're being obtuse about "requiring more drugs". Its basically sea-lioning at this point.

@TheDallasG @therealmrbench 4.4 covers parasites, it makes no conclusion that remotely approaches what you said such as increased "drugs" (all flocks in this paper are treated with flubendazole).

@Lanstrider @therealmrbench I posted 3 links to 3 different studies, all suggesting higher susceptibility to various diseases in uncaged hens.

@TheDallasG @therealmrbench None of that paper you cited suggests caged hens require less drugs or are less prone to disease than free-run. In fact this paper actually says it cannot determine what came first poor health leading to infection or infection leading to poor health.

@DavidJPba Whats wrong with pouring rain?

If you want to improve your happiness, walk in a forest for at least an hour every day. Do it no matter what the weather is (unless it is pouring rain). Added benefits are weight loss, mental clarity, and improved mobility. The forest part is important, go back to nature.

@FreeWheelinRob @wyatt_claypool Genetic fallacy! Hes right about this, regardless.

@wyatt_claypool Why should anyone take you seriously when you have an obvious vested interest in seeing the BC Conservatives fail?

I'm already seeing the excuse making for Caroline Elliott's Woke apologetics in her 2024 Thesis. People claiming that she had to do this to get her PhD Thesis paper accepted. I have a Master's degree in Public Policy and I wrote my final capstone research paper on crime and how "poverty" has little correlation with crime rates and the much stronger indicator of high crime is different groups' academic achievement rates and family stability. I could have done a Woke grovel about how I'm not trying to judge other culture as a "white male blah blah blah" but I didn't because that is stupid and hacky. I wrote how I liked and I didn't apologize and got my paper accepted despite the panel of professors being more openly Liberal.

Hive mind is an abdication of responsibility.

@Lanstrider @therealmrbench If you check out the chicken rooms in chilliwack BC, it becomes obvious why they're always injecting them constantly. Its a horror film. Its factory farming without machine walls.

@Lanstrider @therealmrbench Keep in mind, "free range" means free run if they dont have access to the outdoors/pasture. Pasture raised will also have more disease but generally will be healthier on every other metric. phys.org/news/2009-01-f… pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22499879/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26480046/

@Lanstrider @therealmrbench For which part? This is the basics of free run regulation here

@TheDallasG @therealmrbench This is the part where i ask for a source

@FoodProfessor Stability of prices across all the suppliers*

Canada doesn’t just pay more for chicken—we pay a lot more. At roughly $8.30/kg vs. $5.50/kg in the U.S., Canadian chicken is about 50% more expensive. That gap isn’t random. It reflects structural differences in how our food system operates—most notably supply management, which prioritizes stability and domestic production, but comes with higher prices at retail. Meanwhile, the U.S. benefits from scale, competition, and a more liberalized market, keeping prices lower. Different systems, different outcomes—at the checkout.

@Lanstrider @therealmrbench The birds in the free run dark rooms here get 1sq of room ea. They need to be drugged more often due to the proximity and mixing with eachothers feces.

@Lanstrider @therealmrbench You mean the reasoning?

@Lanstrider @therealmrbench Also btw, supply management in canada does not mean farmers mame more to put food on your table, its the reverse. They destroy product to limit supply and fix prices + restrict compeition heavily.

@TheDallasG @therealmrbench Care to share your sources?

@Lanstrider @therealmrbench Free run is worse than caged

@therealmrbench We already import US poultry but that poultry has to meet the standard our chickens do which include: Virtually all chicken for sale in Canada being "Free Run" not caged (not the same as Free Range) Also, Supply Management means farmers make more to put food on your table.
