Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

It the progressive way. Experts are someone who reads books in school not someone who works in the field. In the progressive mind the one who works in the field is in constant need of re-education from those who read books in school.
Joe,
Which leads to that ultimate advice book

Urban farming tip: shredded New York Times newspapers make good “brown”(carbon) sources in your compost, but it will leave red marx on the vegetables.
Why invite farmers? After all,these are the people who grow our food.Keep them out,and Agenda 21 can proceed as planned.Mass famine.Time to start starving our gubermints!

One of the links provided is put together by Jennie Schmidt, a farmer and registered dietician who writes an excellent blog out in Maryland. She explains the logistics of GMO labeling.
Now if this panel had been held in Toronto, they would have invited representatives of Ontario’s farm organizations…which, I guess, would add up to the exactly the same kind of farm representation that happened in NY.
Exactly! these progressives remind me of the progressives who planned and implemented the Soviet Five Year Agricultural Plans that resulted in mass peasant farmer confiscations, farmer relocation and resulting mass starvation.
Farmers are not necessary for growing food.
It was a remarkable achievement when the City of Vancouver and Mayor Gregor(Moonbeam) Robinson decided to allow folks to raise chickens in their back yard,and grow wheat in their front yard.
Currently,Vancouver is self-sustaining,and only imports luxury food like pineapples and oranges.
It’s remarkable what can be accomplished by a little direction from our Betters.
I support farmers. Being gluten and dairy intolerant and therefore careful about what I eat, I find it disappointing that I eat virtually nothing grown in Saskatchewan other than what I gather or grow myself. I don’t eat grains. I don’t eat canola oil. I eat almost no lentils. I love mustard and although grown in Saskatchewan, it is perversely exported to France, packaged and processed and then sent back.
I don’t eat much meat but eat some.
So all my food comes from California, the tropics or the some fish farm.
I wish I could eat more local but there are not enough like me to create demand volume needed for industrial ag production. We are also prisoners of climate and geography and can only grow a few things successfully.
“…It’s remarkable what can be accomplished by a little direction from our Betters….”
HEEE, Heee, heeeee………..
NYT decided long ago that kulaks just slow down “progress”.
No doubt collective and state farms will be the obvious
direction to take when recommended solutions from experts
are compiled.
As for feeding the (third world) poor and especially those
in Africa, nothing can improve until the present system of
primitive tribal communal land ownership is overthrown and
private property rights are respected and enforced by more
than the occasional whims of the ruling classes.
The horror! No Wall Street hedge funds invited either…those wolves have done more to influence/manipulate the grain markets than any man or woman growing a stalk of corn or bushel of wheat.
Why would they need or want farmers there? The panel is going to talk about farming, not listen.
They’re “going to talk not listen” LOL. Yes, it would be the same if they were talking about recycling, they wouldn’t invite anyone with experience in the garbage disposal business. If they were musing on what to do with used tires, they’d never ask anybody operating a tire depot …
Farming? There’s an app for that.
I just loved that “important thinker” line. I am an important thinker and yet I was not invited. I also am not a farmer and was not invited. what did I do wrong?
