1. Venues like these are setups so that the government can pretend that they consulted all the stakeholders before they screwed them.

   1. Exactly

2. l suspect the agriculture reps found out in subtle ways or otherwise that the gubbamint agent were
   -clueless or
   -deceptive or
   -agenda driven or
   -hypocrites or
   -clueless. did l mention that already? thats because there were 2 of them.

   1. I’d go with “and”.

3. Very annoying when an article just speaks in generalities and does not explain the essence of the controversy. Not sure why they would not spell out the central issue behind the disagreement.

   1. They rarely do.
      Look at the postal strike.
      We know CP is losing money. We know the union wants more money.
      If the CP’s books and the details of the union demands were made public, I don’t think anyone would be supporting the union, except for some folk here who just wanna see CP die.

   2. Conventional crop growers couldn’t agree on what methodology the government should use to further screw them.
      Joined en masse to avoid persecution; quit en masse for the same reason.
      Farmers have herd mentality.

4. Everyone knows food comes from the kitchens on Trudeau’s jet, burning calories and carbon credits as it streaks across the sunny skies of post nationalism. Farms are dirty places with cow farts and evil fertilizer polluting the earth and must be made safe for Stephen Guilbeault and his rabid acolytes. Farmers are bad and must be replaced with AI generated avatars cognizant of environmental practices. Thus sayeth the Liberals and their high priests in the media. Yea, verily yea.

5. Our unsustainable federal government cannot be trusted on any file let alone agriculture or energy.

   “Stakeholders” are designated by government to limit consultation to a few groups they want to rope a dope and use to justify what they have already decided. No one should cooperate with this government.

   1. Yes.

6. The 6 withdrawals are strictly because the members in those groups spoke up and none of them can stand the liberals

   1. More likely because they may have finally realized that turdo has been enticing them up the Green gallows steps with increasingly smaller amounts of taxpayer funds.

7. You would likely find that at least half of the various sectors in that process had an agenda that was sympathetic to the government’s agenda of mandating green theocratic practices that would result in harm or losses to productive agriculture. The growers probably recognized their peril if they stayed and became co-opted. It’s how and why the left are into “stakeholders” as they can load up the processes with their own masquerading as multiple seemingly legitimate interested parties but usually people with no skin in the game, busybodies, or a few radicals with a green banner accountable to no one else – all put up against legitimate interests representing whole industries. I’ve been involved in many such (land use planning) circuses during the war in the woods era in BC. The forest industry lost all of them. The same crap applied to agriculture is even worse as it will result in the state violating private property rights for pseudo-environmental or the numerous hysterical aspects of green theocracy.

   1. Nailed it, JC. The people who become the leaders of the various farm associations are politicians themselves; albeit of an amateur variety. So they are quickly and easily co-opted by their federal and provincial counterparts. They are wined and dined and lured into thinking that they are equal partners in developing an already blueprinted process. A process that always, always comes back to bite their memberships in the arse.

      1. Agreed, and another six nails in Justin’s coffin due to his odious Soviet MO.

8. I’m just going to assume someone took the time to contemplate what agriculture would look like with a 30% reduction in fossil fuel and 1/3 less fertilizer.

9. Whatever. As long as the soy and canola flows the lisps and cancer can grow.

   These are all farmers making stuff that no humans or animal should eat.
