Sylvain Charlebois- Farmers pay the price for Ottawa’s electric vehicle obsession
Betting billions on a speculative EV industry while leaving Canadian farmers and seafood harvesters to pay the price is proof that in this trade war, agriculture is just collateral damage
Not a real country.
100%
When you sell your economy to foreign interests, then flood your nation with foreign barbarians, good luck keeping that scam going indefinitely.
The entire population is not “collateral damage”, but rather the intentional target, and has been for a long time.
Hasn’t it always been thus? Foreign Nations were allowed generous access to Canadian Atlantic waters in exchange for Central Canadian business access to to those countries, until the Fish were gone. Developing Atlantic Canada ports was ignored (bought off?) in favor of devoping Quebec and Ontario ports. After all, who’s really important in this Country anyway?
Atlantic ports are about as useful as a bridge between Russia and Alaska.
Big ports are for big cities and transport hubs, not pipsquak little towns.
How do “pipsqueak” little towns become big cities and transport hubs?
Incredibly ignorant and stupid post. We spend a fortune ice-breaking in the St. Lawrence to keep Montreal open – for cargo which should be landed in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick and shipped by rail.
Er, it should be landed at Thunder Bay and shipped by rail.
Chess. The evil, nationalistic Trump wants the Liberals/NDP to remain in control of the popualtion of Canada. It’s much easier to get what you want out of an impoverished nation than to negotiate with a Country with economic options.
A weak Chinese vassal, or a strong one.
Make no mistake, the CPC is all in on Canada being a Chinese vassal state as much as the LPC is.
Just ask the Harper fanboys about FIPA.
Because a country doesn’t need agriculture to survive.
In conversation with canola crusher yesterday that US based Quaker oats has been canceling Oat contracts with Canadian growers. In order to rearrange the nation, crisis is required and Carney is just the man to do it.
We are a soft, vulnerable nation, will not take long !
The sooner it all falls apart the sooner the west can rid itself of the dead weight and prosper
Wait till the foreigners start leaving Canada in droves. Many Canuckistan cities responded to the rental and housing crisis by slam-building. Now they are suffering massive and growing vacancy rates.
In the words of the famous blundering upper class twit George, a companion of Edmund Blackadder, … “Whooops, Mrs. Miggins, you’re sitting on my artichokes!”
Time to reduce supplies to the East. Let them feel the pinch at the store.
Yeah. Stop selling to your biggest tariff-free market.

The US is the existential threat Ok, how many have suggested dumping Apple laptops, I pads and phones ?
Can you hear the crickets !
Those are made in China, so they’re fine.
Boycott Prime, Netflix and Apple TV oh my!
Don’t be distracted. Orangemanbad! Xi is your friend. Trudeau is your friend. Carney is someone’s friend in Davos. Oh! And Musk is EVIL! Torch or key a Tesla today! Punish anyone still driving a Tesla.
Come on Canada! You can become your OWN ev automakers !!
“Torch or key a Tesla today! Punish anyone still driving a Tesla.”
Loving all these videos of seemingly normal middle aged and senior gentlemen ‘keying’ Teslas, not realizing that they all *have cameras* that are triggered by the act. I would also love to see them explaining in court how they thought that this vandalism would somehow hurt Elon Musk and not the actual owner of the vehicle.
And not hurt EVERYONE’S auto insurance premiums …
Face it. Leftists are emotional cripples, and mentally ill.
Courts??
Released on their own recognizance… because torching Tesla’s aren’t violent crimes against people … they’re only destroying … “things”. Yeah … that’s the narrative.
And yet Carney wants to trade the US market for the chinese and european ones.
At least he hasn’t proposed a tunnel to Europe…
Yet.
What statement has the LCP made about other tariffs outside of the US ones?
Or for that matter what has the CP said?
We can just build houses on the farmland for UnMe’s people!
Mass Immigration is economic salvation!
I borrowed ! from Keith Hardcastle!
With 40 percent of North America’s corn crop going to the ridiculous energy-negative ethanol market, and all the other bullshit “green” scams on farmers’ lands (wind mills, methane digesters, panels, etc), there’ll be more than a hint of hypocrisy in any squeals coming from the farm organizations.
You can have and eat an omelette without having to break any eggs yourself. If the morality of egg-breaking concerns you, you should be in the free market.
lobster comes from the Maritimes, 17 Maritime MPs are Liberal, sooooo stfu!!!!
How many Liberal MPs are actually lobsters?
Or do they just have shell companies?
