Well, this is good news! The government says you can borrow more money.
The federal government is poised to announce an expansion of an agricultural loan guarantee program in response to the canola market crisis. https://t.co/MdGZWIH2qn @CBCKatie

It’s a “scientific-based disagreement”, according to Trudeau. So, here’s some advice for Canadian farmers — you might change the name of your crop to “Bombardier”.
Gee. I imagine the farmers were hoping that turdo would agree to actually BUY all their canola that they thought was going to the Chi-comms….and then maybe turdo could someday ship it somewhere down the theoretical pipeline he just bought with our dollars.
Just tell turdo that all the crop this year is weed. Boy, that’ll perk him up and he’ll buy it all for himself and his buddies.
Maybe all the prairie farmers really should just grow pot. Then, all together one day just a few days before the election, burn it all. The smoke will linger into ontario and quebec just in time for them to stone them so they don’t bother voting.
If timed right, the westerners should have cleared their heads and be able to vote to turf turdo.
That is brilliant.
Mayhap we have the farmers sow pot on the road edges,fallow land and public property.
Soon dope will be growing wild from sea to sea, bankrupting the government drug dealers.
Just imagine the idiotic charges the RCMP, now enforcers for the Government Drug Lords, while have to lay.
Of course this would be death on deer,moose and motorists.
The government is already losing money on pot.
So the NDP’s land bank is still around then. Been co-opted by the Liberals looks like.
Notice how no matter what Trudeau does to screw the west, no matter the loss of the crow rate, the imposition of the CWB, the jailing of western farmers for selling their own wheat, there is never a shortage of Saskatchewan, or Alberta, or Manitoba farmers lining up for photo-op opportunities.
I suppose, that is why separation will never happen; once a socialist, always evil. There is too large a fifth column already in place.
Yes, I was wondering also about what farmer would be dumb enough to allow Trudeau onto his yard. But then, my farming neighborhood also has a few Liberal supporters who never think beyond their nose. They have always been Liberal because the Liberals let their grandparents immigrate into Canada you know. My family was also Liberal until they smartened up in the 1960s.
“Yes, I was wondering also about what farmer would be dumb enough to allow Trudeau onto his yard.”
Well, Ken and Kevin, with some folks, the prospect of a cheque – pried from the pockets of fellow Canadians – often over-powers any vestigial principles.
and therein is today’s civics lesson.
today class, we’re gonna talk about the contradiction between short term objectives and long term costs.
case in point: support for Liberals who lend money they dont have.
then borrow from the gigabanks to pay the interest on the interest on the debt.
any questions?
That picture comes from an April 2017 story. I think k that farmer had been a provincial liberal candidate at one time.
Ken
My old Grandpa on my Mother’s side voted liberal back in the day. He was a good friend of Stuart Garson who was a Manitoba MLA back in the 20’s, 30’s and was Premier in the 40’s. My mother told me Garson would come to the farm and they’d talk politics by the hour.
My Grandpa was a classical liberal who lived long enough to have to endure the trudeau era – the first one. He disliked T1 for all the right reasons.
My Dear Old Dad, would just get furious when PET would come on the TV. Said that man just the look of him made him sick to his stomach. Dad was all for Dief the Chief warts and all.
And he would rant about Frenchmen. Well before he passed away, I did the family tree with my uncle.
And here if my Dear Sweet Little Mother wasn’t half French.
His name was Louis Dupuis and came to Quebec City about 1675 as a King’s soldier. He left the Military and became a Cour de Bois and travelled from Quebec City to what is now Deroit by birch bark canoe and traded furs with the Indians. He would be gone 2-3 years at a time. And the rascal had himself several Indian wives and families.
He died in the forest somewhere on one of his journeys. His offspring all stayed in the fur business and Anglicized there name and moved to Upper Canada. And fought in the War of 1812 against the Yanks. He fought at Cryslers Farm. For which the old King granted him 200 acres.
Then they switched their names back again and carried on. His offspring basically founded Queens University and the clock tower and a hall is named after him. About 1830-40, a Fredrick Dupuis same family went to the USA and got mixed up in the fur trade in the Black Hills before Yellow Hair got his scalp lifted.
He married an Indian woman called Good Elk Woman, the daughter of one of the Chiefs who fought Custer. One thing I am very proud of he saved the remnants of the buffalo in SD.
He and his sons and some other friends rounded up some young stock one summer and brought them back to his ranch in Dupuis SD. and raised them. The Gov. eventually bought them and let them increase and protected them.
Mom and Dad were married over 53 years. Before he passed I was visiting and he started on about Trudeau that danged Frenchman. Being the devil I am, I waited till he was finished, then said Dad did you know you have been married to a French woman for 50 years. Could of heard a pin drop. I said those dang Frenchmen have been right in your own camp all these years. And we started to laugh our heads off. Course I had to show him. “Wear Wolf, Eat Moose, Stab Up and Keep Your Powder Dry”
abtrapper, kind of the same story in our family. When the Liberals became more Marxist than classical liberal my gpa and his sons left the party as they had had enough of Marxism before they came to Canada in 1926.
How do you know they are farmers and not government agency reps?
Funny you guys bring that up, as that is exactly what popped into my head as soon as I saw Trudeau wondering around a Saskatchewan farm. No way in hell I would let that clown or any spawn of PET onto my property for a photo-op no less!
After all that Trudeau’s have done to the west this is absolutely shameful.
The neighbors have to push back, don’t they…
“Saw that photo of Trudeau in your yard on the CBC. I will not be requiring your custom spraying/tillage/seeding/combining services this year.”
FREE SASKABERTA !!!!!!
RE-ELECT TRUDOPE AND THE LIBERALS IN 2019 !!!!!!
I am partial to Albertchewan myself.
Or maybe named after the guys who have always been right?
All our cities, roads, towns, shall be renamed DuMont, Riel, Jackson, Big Bear, Fine Day, Wandering Spirit
Or Two Spirits.
Oh, I like this idea! I want separation but have not been nuts over the names ofSaskberta or Albertchewan.
Riel would be a great name – perhaps Manitoba would even join.
Stick to Haultain’s vision of the province of Buffalo – it was a good idea then and makes even more sense today.
I think we should call ourselves Trudeau. In dishonour of the family that inspired our separation. The perfect thumb in the eye. haha
johnboy,
I’d name all sewage treatment plants after Justin.
Riel was a traitor who got what was coming to him.
You wont be getting my vote for that name.
He who wins writes history so you all want to create a new country for your provinces means you are all traitors as well just like Riel was said to be by thé winners….
dumbass, it was not necessary to prove your name.
Being allowed to borrow more money on the various crops that are about to be seeded across western Canada and that may not be able to be sold for many years is not much help. It only increases the indebtedness of each farmer. Leaving the land fallow is also not an option as with today’s fixed inputs and costs that would lead to insolvency not far down the road.
During the 1930s and again in the late 1960s, farmers hauled some crops to the elevators and the rail shipping costs per car were more than what they received for the bushels in the rail car. A lot of grain was dumped on the ground to rot.
The farmer that rents our land came last evening to pay us half of the rent for the year and he is quite concerned, especially now that peas, soybeans, and hogs have been added to the list. Even if the issues are resolved this, and I think that the issues are all political and in part created or exacerbated by a totally inept Canadian government and not a failure of the crops shipped, the year will be largely a write-off.
But then, this fits in with the long range plan of the Liberals, destroy agriculture, as it emits too much CO2 and is by their definition as evil as the oil and gas industry.
Destroy agriculture on the prairies, so we need to buy from….
Yep you guessed it.
Hopefully Western farmers never again agree to giving Ottawa jurisdiction again over anything like a CWB monopoly. Not even in wartime. It should be up to the Provincial Ag and Provincial Governments to rattle their hocks and help the farmers and tell Ottawa to go rub their keester with a rusty wire brush.
Ken, one of the chapters of the UN’s Agenda21 talks of moving all citizens to mega cities, leaving the prairies to return to nature. With the exception of large government farms.
Coincidence?
Minister BoBo is on the case so you can all relax. Most importantly, if you’re thinking of offing yourself, she’ll pick up the tab for the shrink. So that should solve it all. #plant19
No, no, no, no, NO.
You build a shell corporation to market your crop (whatever it is) and call that “Bombardier.” Do I have to manage everything around here?
Garth Wood: Another shell corporation is Loblaws!! How many more are there out there that received FREE TAXPAYERS MONEY!! VOTE OUT THE LIE-BRALS GOV’T IN 2019….VOTE OUT TRUDEAU IN 2019!! We are heading towards a Communist Country!! TRUDOPE loves CHINA!!
Putting Canadian farmers further into debt, making it easier to foreclose on them and sell their canola farms for a song to Chinese agribusiness—which is all Beijing wants in the first place.
They’re upset about Princess Meng, of course, but they would have started helping themselves to Canada’s arable land sooner or later. If they wanted her back so badly, they’d have already spirited her out. She makes the perfect excuse for any outrage—and it’s not as if she’s awaiting deportation in a real prison.
A Canadian: EXACTLY!! China already has ownership of some!
Okay – where is this money coming from?
Do Canadians even ask that anymore?
“Coming from?” “It’s like, MONEY, man, it’s just THERE.”
Osumashi Kinyobe: Taxpayers and other countries that are looking for something like CANADA!! We are being SOLD BILLIONS in debt. Canadians will soon be SERF’s accountable to a NEW LORD!
Whoa, Nemo, do you mean that money is magical somehow?!
Blue Turtle, we are serfs and we voted for it.
Hey, isn’t the budget going to magically ‘Balance Itself’? QED
Like, probably.
Its the fed’s f**king fault the Chicoms won’t buy the product. Justa Turnip and his team of SJW Twats should know that a puny country that relies as heavily as puny Canadistan does on trade should keep their pie-holes closed. What a joke.
The Chinese are underplaying the Swine Flu outbreak in that country. They are destroying millions upon millions of livestock as a result. The indirect result is less demand for feed meal….which is usually canola or soy. However, they can’t let the rest of the world in on that so they push the narrative towards a slight of criminal extradition. That’s how the Little Red Book works.
Keep in mind that imported canola is only used to subsidize what they produce on their own. It becomes expendable when they can produce everything they need on their own. That doesn’t mean the trade scenario can’t be used as a bargaining point.

LIEberals ghosting LIEberals to fatten their wallets…what a surprise!
Hey but if you don’t ‘pay tribute’ you don’t get representation.
And what was that about TAXATION without REPRESENTATION…?
Conclusion: Elections are about who gets LIEberally ‘greased’ and nothing else.
Meanwhile the pigs will fly in China, without canola or soy from Canajuns.

Meanwhile the National Post reports on how Justin is going to punish Alberta if it removes the caps on oil sands emissions.
Global energy demand rose over 2% last year. With my other comment (below), it is quite ironic that an Alberta recovery (assuming political roadblocks are cleared away) could possibly be the economic driver that keeps Canada afloat the next few years.
These are loan guarantees, meaning lenders provide the cash and the Feds assume the risk in case the borrowers can’t repay (i.e. farmers can’t sell their canola to cover expenses). In other words, it’s the lenders who are protected.
Couple this with Canada being in near recession, perpetual deficits, highly overvalued real estate, personal debt-to-GDP ratios the highest in the OECD, and foreign trade in disarray, and you have a mess that is potentially worse than the sub-prime fiasco of a decade ago. Yet this is all home grown. With an election looming, Trudeau and Co are playing roulette while promising voters a big win. Whoever wins this fall could have a terrible ordeal on their hands when the wheel stops.
JDN: TRUDEAU and the Lie-bral caucus did this all by themselves…he is out to destroy CANADA, then we will be FOR SALE to highest Bidder. Then Trudeau skips off to join the UN just like the idiot he is, his dad would be SO PROUD!! VOTE OUT TRUDEAU IN 2019!! VOTE OUT THE LIE-BRALS IN 2019!!
Maybe it’s me not getting it but if the Chinese won’t buy our canola seed and we have no market for most of this product, then why do the farmers need to borrow more money?
Because that John Deere sprayer in that picture costs $1,000,000, and there are only 2 of them in the province.
Each spray nozel has a camera that only sprays when a weed is detected.
When you buy a sprayer like that, you likely have a customer base of several hundred neighbors, a water tank network ready to go, etc.
ie. the sprayer is always working.
?
any chance the sprayer could be adapted to deal with liberals?
This mess is the result of the ineptitude of the Foreign Affairs department. The uke sausage and her stupidity. Bongo has done his part but Freeland has the diplomatic skills of a moron.
We are in crisis mode with the chicoms and we still haven’t replaced Jug McCallum as ambassador to China. I’ll tell you why. Because no matter whose name we put forward the chicoms will reject it. We’re phequed and we haven’t got anyone in FA’s who can resolve this.
The fool Freeland has pissed off the Saudis, embarrassed Trump, meddles in the Ukraine and Venezuela while Bongo took care of India, China and provoked the Philippines to the point of them threatening war. Who’d I miss?
The papineau ponce is a fool. Completely out of his element who surrounds himself with people of like talents.
And Chrystia Chomiak insults the memory of the Six Million by walking the earth. If there were any justice, her grandfather would have been put to death upon capture by the Red Army, and Chrystia would never have been born.
I can laugh at Justin. It is when I see Chrystia that I really become angry.
The Old Ukrainian Sausage Freeland always has a stunned from the ass both ways look. Like she left home and forgot to remove her dildo.
I would like to see legislation that only Canadians can own farms and all other real estate. This would hit the Chinese buying up property in Vancouver, Toronto etc.
That does not help with prices. In Hawaii, they have some kind of rule like that, lots of land reserved for natives. They have ridiculous real estate prices.
Damn Watcher…I can always count on a damned good laugh form you….Dildo no less. Perfect..LMAO.!
She’s about as vapid a dipshit as Occasional Kotex in NY.
I am sorry, I just can’t help myself, I worked around nothing but tradesmen for 43 years. You call it like you see it, unvarnished and brutal. She probably has a problem with cats, Obama had problems with flies always buzzing around him in press conferences because they smelled shit. Freeland has a cat problem, they think they smell seafood. Her staff always have to clear the cats from the area before she gives a press conference, otherwise the cats are all over her.
tradesmen?
well that will certainly do it.
I worked beside a plumber on a hotel job.
the most obscene foul mouthed bloke I ever spent time around. NOTHING sacred.
but by gawd he took his work seriously.
3,000 faucets etc in the place and when they did the air pressure test, only 1 or 2 need followup.
and none of us were union.
keep at it watcher, we need folks like youse to remind us where
the strengths and weaknesses are.
