@DavidMaritSK @PremierScottMoe Thank you, great to see! Also thanks for recognizing SK producers & industry groups Those organizations have continuous relationships with our customers & those buyers don’t want trade issue. Unfortunately a federal gov decision caused this problem that needed a political fix

Sask Wheat has committed $2.3 million in funding towards two new facilities at the University of Saskatchewan that will provide critical workspace for crop and soil science research and teaching. We were pleased to attend yesterday’s announcement alongside leaders and other cofounders!

@KodyBloisNS @MarkJCarney Kody, you engaged and listened to our AG concerns, unlike most in your party. Thank you. Disappointed with today’s omission of you from cabinet. Hopefully your time is coming again soon.

I had really hoped @KodyBloisNS would be our ag minister. He is knowledgeable, hard working, and not scared to reach out or ask questions. My hope is the new minister can exhibit those same qualities and will lean on members of the ag community across Canada to make good decisions.

He was only in the minister's seat for a few weeks, but no other Liberal MP that I can think of comes close to having the respect and relationships that Kody Blois has in Canadian agriculture, across the country.

@kowalchukfarms1 It doesn’t work on our farm, and I’ve heard the participation rate is more like 30%

Can someone in the Canadian Ag industry explain to me why I should enroll in AgriStability? Have the recent changes helped? Let’s have a good discussion about the positives and negatives of this program and why only 60% of Canadian farmers participate? #CanadianAg #AgTwitter

"We're going to stand strong. We're going to stand firm against China." In other words: "Forget about farmers in Western Canada and harvesters in Atlantic Canada—we need to prioritize manufacturing jobs in Central Canada."

"We're going to stand strong. We're going to stand firm." @FP_Champagne says his government won't remove tariffs on Chinese-made EVs as China announces it will impose counter-tariffs on some Canadian farm and food products. #cdnpoli #ctvpp More: ctvnews.ca/video/shows/po…

Cool cool. Compensation for the farmers affected by you standing strong seems like a natural next step then.

Well said JP, what I don’t understand in this is the Canadian radicals that basically side with Trump. As though he’s there hero! We got problems here in Canada yes, but siding with loonie leader from the south doesn’t help.
J.P. Gervais@jpgervais

Very sad to see the disruption of supply chains and trade relationships built over many years for mutual benefits of both Canada and the US. Makes no sense at all farmpolicynews.illinois.edu/2025/03/canada…

For Canadians defending this or saying this is justified. This isn’t a joke and I’m not sure if you are naive or traitors.. Yes Trudeau needs to go, and there’s a lot of work to do to get our country on track.. but we need to focus our resources and energy on rebuilding, making our industries more resilieant by opening up new markets around the world, and moving forward as Canada.
Commentary Donald J. Trump Posts From Truth Social@TrumpDailyPosts

We pay hundreds of Billions of Dollars to SUBSIDIZE Canada. Why? There is no reason. We don’t need anything they have. We have unlimited Energy, should make our own Cars, and have more Lumber than we can ever use. Without this massive subsidy, Canada ceases to exist as a viable Country. Harsh but true! Therefore, Canada should become our Cherished 51st State. Much lower taxes, and far better military protection for the people of Canada — AND NO TARIFFS!

@BDuchek @405farmer @DarylFransoo Power limitations, water leaks, moving some of the equipment in and out as needed, tight confines to do some of the work. Old equipment that could or should be upgraded literally can’t be moved in or out. Government building so doing anything requires there slow approval
